"The ability to show higher view rates with CWTV versus sending a link to a video through email, definitely supports our ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). , along with the lack of interference on our internal and external bandwidth," added Jensen.

CWTV is not limited by content type or file size. Mixed multi-media, such as video, PDFs, audio, Powerpoint([R])and Flash,([R])are delivered regardless of bandwidth restrictions or Internet connection speeds. Geographically dispersed dis·perse

Since July, Cushman & Wakefield has distributed more than 23,000 deliveries - 337Gigabytes of content - consisting of executive videos, and general internal corporate communications. Reporting and analytics indicate approximately 332% increase in view rates of media rich corporate communications - compared to video link sent through email.

CWTV resides on all Cushman & Wakefield desktops or laptops and employees are automatically notified of content to be viewed by a pop-up delivery alert on their monitor. Employees then view the video full screen, without buffering or launching special media players either online or offline. A questionnaire or survey can be launched upon completion of the video to re-emphasize key content concepts or to solicit feedback from the employee. A content administrator can easily publish, control, target, and report on content through a web-based administration module.

Cushman & Wakefield plans to expand the use of CWTV to include training, recruitment, and eventually customers, partners and vendors. Large clients could benefit greatly by receiving videos and information directly to their desktops instead of through the mail on a DVD DVD: see digital versatile disc.
