Enterprise Live Online Video Use at 40 Percent and Growing
Video adoption starts with internal applications, expands into external as comfort grows
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ustream, the world's live video platform leader, commissioned a study by Wainhouse Research regarding how video is being used as a communications tool in the enterprise. Of the 1000 executives surveyed, more than a dozen applications of live online video are used by at least 40 percent of the organizations represented in the survey.
Of the organizations that use video, the most common application is for employee trainings. However, as companies gain experience with video for internal applications, executive comfort level and creativity grows. The Wainhouse Research study showed a growing trend amongst experienced enterprise video users towards external applications and even new business models built around video.
"A primary barrier to entry in using video is a lack of knowledge on how easy, scalable and powerful it can be," said Brad Hunstable, Ustream CEO. "Once they realize they can easily and securely communicate with powerful, engaging content to their entire organization at any location on any device, they see that it can be used as powerful tool to engage partners and customers as well."
The graph below shows the most popular uses of video in the enterprise.
