Over the years, our global IT organization has evolved the Media Exchange by taking advantage of new offerings and deploying new capabilities. We have also taken advantage of the solution’s partner network to seamlessly adopt and integrate new options. In so doing, the Media Exchange offers leading features and reflects the latest trends in design and layout. Several robust features include:

• Recording through a media creation capability that allows an individual to capture webcam, audio, screen and presentations in parallel.
• Working with vendor partners to put non-traditional video-creation tools in the hands of employees.
• Automated video captioning, which makes content viewable without sound and more accesible, supporting Accenture’s inclusion and diversity goals.
• A chaptering feature helping viewers navigate video content more easily from the video player.
• Ability to create “personal” channels, a self-provisioned option that provides the opportunity to define the way an individual wants to organize, manage, publish and share video content. Since its inception, more than 1,400 personal channels have been created. With subscription options, individuals can create a following.
• An easy way to post videos, as well as broadcasts produced by Accenture Productions.

Accenture collaborates with the video platform vendor on an ongoing basis to evaluate new video technology solutions, sometimes working with the partners to provide input on enterprise requirements and integrations. An area of growing interest are virtual classroom capabilities.
