Deloitte & Touche selects Servecast's Enterprise Media Studio
for corporate training and communications initiative
Dublin, Ireland - February 4, 2003 - Servecast Limited, Europe's
leading provider of online multimedia communications solutions,
is set to roll out a major corporate communications and training
initiative for accountancy, tax and consultancy firm, Deloitte
& Touche.
Deloitte & Touche's three Irish offices will use Servecast's
recently launched solution, Enterprise Media Studio, to create,
manage, deliver and measure live and on demand multimedia
presentations for corporate communications, employee training
and compliance training and testing.
This innovative solution will allow Deloitte to improve productivity
by providing employees with flexibility as to when they attend
training and staff briefings, without impacting on client
services. The initiative will also reduce travel and training
expenses by replacing or complementing classroom-based training
and face-to-face briefings with online training and briefings,
especially as Deloitte is a firm with a strong record in supportive
training for staff.
"Our business depends on our staff being constantly
accessible to our clients, often involving lengthy onsite
visits," said Ronan Nolan, Partner with Deloitte &
Touche. "As a result, it is expensive and inconvenient
to conduct training sessions and staff briefings at our headquarters.
In addition, because of our staff's busy schedules, training
sessions and briefings need to be planned weeks in advance.
By adopting Enterprise Media Studio, we hope to overcome many
of these difficulties, as staff who are unable to attend in
person can attend the presentation online afterwards."
"In the current business environment, compliance training
is becoming more and more important to our business and it
is essential that we can track and record our employees' attendance
at training sessions, while also testing their understanding
of the topics covered," said Frank Keane, Learning Manager
at Deloitte & Touche. "Enterprise Media Studio's
testing and reporting functionality allows us to achieve these
objectives in a much more efficient and cost effective manner
than could be achieved in the classroom or with other software
products."
"Deloitte & Touche is one of the leading global
professional services firms, with an outstanding reputation
for quality of service and integrity and a particularly strong
focus on staff training and communications. We are delighted
that they have selected Servecast for this important initiative
and believe that it is a huge endorsement for the scalability
and uniqueness of the Enterprise Media Studio platform, which
was only launched in the last few weeks," said Darach Deehan,
CEO of Servecast.
Enterprise Media Studio enables enterprises and educational
institutions to manage the entire process of making communications
material and training events available online, using audio,
video, PowerPoint and other popular media, including:

An easy to use content creation
tool, which allows non technical users to assemble
powerful multi media presentations at their desktops
or in the classroom, in minutes. As well as enabling
the use of standard features such as audio, video
and Powerpoint, this tool allows powerful interactive
features to be inserted, such as polls, tests, quizzes,
download links, e-mail links, feedback forms, and
presentation search facilities. |
|

|
An advanced content management
engine, which facilitates the creation, management
and editing of an enterprise knowledge repository,
enhancing access for employees or students to enterprise
knowledge bases and allowing for maximum re-use
of communications materials and learning material. |

Seamless delivery infrastructure
providing for high quality delivery of communications
and training material over the intranet, internet
and offline via CD, DVD or download. |
