Veodia - New Video Platforms Safely Bring YouTube Benefits To The Enterprise

In the latest report by Ted Schadler (Forrester's Vice President and Principal Analyst), Ted covers several companies and video solutions for the Enterprise.

"...Information workers have been posting confidential videos to YouTube because they've had few alternatives. Fortunately, in the past few months, three vendors - Google, Microsoft, and Veodia - have introduced services or products for securely hosting videos with enterprise access controls.

These services give information and knowledge management professionals a way to harness the power of corporate and employee-generated video to teach, inspire, and capture knowledge.

This report introduces the business scenarios, platform checklist, and vendors for employee-generated video..."

Great validation for Veodia's vision and amazing execution capabilities!

The devil is in the details, or in the way you display the data...

Design Resources: Boxes and Arrows

Boxes and Arrows is devoted to the practice, innovation, and discussion of design; including graphic design, interaction design, information architecture and the design of business. Since 2001, it’s been a peer-written journal promoting contributors who want to provoke thinking, push limits, and teach a few things along the way.

They have great (practical) articles and examples for design processes, prototyping methodologies and much more.

For example:

• Prototyping with XHTML
  
  
  
  
• Why We Call Them Participants
• PDF Prototypes
• And much more.

Learn and enjoy.
