Reach your constituents and staff with digital streaming media
Streaming media is becoming a mission-critical part of government communications, whether to keep citizens updated on weather conditions, security threats or to share the latest City Council meeting. Because technology changes so quickly, having a flexible and scalable solution is important. It has to work in the long-term, not just for today. And if something breaks, as it inevitably will, having a global support team that can help is paramount. There just isn't time to call the help desks at three different companies. Helix technology offers an end-to-end solution that ensures all the components work together, resulting in a lower TCO over the long-term.
Traffic is becoming an issue in our city, so we have decided to install live traffic cams that stream to our website so that citizens can check conditions before they begin their commute. We expect this to become an integral part of our services and need it to be extremely reliable.
As IT manager of our state-funded tourism board, I have been put in charge of implementing streaming media on our website. We have many tourist attractions, including beaches, amusement parks, and several vibrant cities, and would like to have live cameras at several locations so that site visitors can get see and get excited about the area. But we have to carefully justify our expenses since we are funded by the government.
