Navigation options are easily configured, added or moved, and the visual editor allows the producer to immediately view changes in real time. With single sign-on functionality, VEM is a one-stop media content management system that provides integration across ON24 virtual environments and webcasting, enabling webcast access from the virtual environment; for example, users can create, publish and manage webcasts directly within the virtual environment. “VEM delivers a fully integrated and streamlined workflow, saving producers valuable time and resulting in a better end user experience,” explained Sahasi. “One of the most exciting aspects of Virtual Environment Manager is the content management capability,” Sahasi added. With VEM, content can be tagged and organized, with role-based access to that content. VEM provides:
“The new features and functionality in Virtual Environment Manager are a direct result of listening to our customer base and responding to their needs,” commented Sahasi. “We are committed to bringing the best experience to everyone involved in producing and consuming virtual communications – the producers, content creators, sponsors and, ultimately, their audiences.” About ON24, Inc. |
