Wanting to make a good webinar series even better
Although webinar attendance was steadily increasing, the IMA learning and development manager recognized several inefficiencies in the webinars’ execution and realized that the organization was quickly outgrowing its existing webcast infrastructure:
IMA recognized the value-add the “Inside Talk” webinars offered members but wanted a webcasting platform that could deliver the series more cost effectively than its current infrastructure, with automated reporting and a customizable console that presented a more modern look and feel.
“IMA has reaped a significant savings in costs since implementing the ON24 platform for our ‘Inside Talk’ webinar series. This includes not only the time saved in labor, but the ON24 platform actually costs less than what we were using previously.”

Learning & Development Product Manager, IMA (Institute of Management Accountants)

ON24 technology enables IMA to:
The ON24 expertise in virtual environments also appealed to IMA. As the organization extends its virtual reach and offerings, they have confidence in ON24 and a strong partnership they can capitalize on when they’re ready to take that step.
Improved performance, faster reporting and an award winning webinar
Since implementing its “Inside Talk” webinar series on the ON24 platform, IMA has enjoyed considerable performance and scalability improvements.
IMA ran two webinars from its China offices and one from Switzerland to its regional members, and plans to capitalize on ON24 globalization capabilities to further support its expanding global membership, repurposing and translating the webinars and training members in their local languages.
