Webcasts

SCS provides its clients with computer based options such as desktop videoconferencing and webcasting. Whether you are looking to augment a satellite videoconference or have a stand-alone event, SCS can provide you with the necessary technology and services.

Both desktop conferencing and webcasting are computer based forms of communication. Often people use the terms interchangeably, however, there is an inherent difference. Desktop conferencing denotes a targeted communication and can be done either over the internet or over an existing intranet. Webcasting, on the other hand, utilizes the internet and is usually made available to participants by way of a website. Desktop conferencing is often used for more secure communications while webcasting is usually made available to anyone who comes across the link on the web in addition to those people who have been notified or targeted specifically.

Key Factors in Choosing to do a Desktop Videoconference or a Webcast

• Is this an event that individuals will need to view from their desk?
   
• Is this mostly a one-way communication, perhaps with the option of questions being submitted?
   
• Do participants have access to the intranet or internet, as necessary?
   
• Is the content fairly simple in video complexity so that it will translate well to smaller and slower video?
   
• Is this an event to reach a large group of unidentified participants?
   
• Would it be advantageous to have the event stored for viewing after the live event?
