Education & Government
The use of online media is growing in the education and government sectors.
Many higher education institutions are tapping into the power of rich media on their websites. They're creating e-learning forums and marketing videos, they're streaming coverage of sports and special events, and they're using social media outlets to promote student interaction. The majority of colleges and universities now offer online courses, and some are achieving great success with degree programs offered exclusively online. And this trend is no longer limited to higher education. High schools and even elementary schools are finding value in integrating rich media into their websites for marketing, fundraising, tutoring and parent involvement efforts.
Likewise, the government's use of rich media is on the rise. Elected officials are interacting with their constituents in ways never before dreamed possible. Agencies are using online video to educate and inform the public. And more and more of the information – forms, applications, licenses, certificates and other paperwork – the government is responsible for processing is moving from traditional paper into electronic formats. In many ways, this is making government at the federal, state and local levels more accessible to the citizens they serve. It's also creating huge databases and media libraries, straining servers and increasing Internet congestion.
We provide the must-haves: security, reliability, scalability and affordability.
