NATIONAL VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

Choosing the right media for communicating with your management teams and employees nationwide is a challenging decision. Manuals and memos don't have the same impact as face to face meetings and training sessions. At the same time, many people are looking for alternatives to the traveling road show, or flying everyone in to one location.

The maze of communication technology options available can be quite perplexing. When evaluating the right path to take for your particular applications, consider HTV a resource.

Here is a thumbnail sketch of the communication channels available to you. For a more in-depth discussion of these options and your needs, please contact Carol Gilstrap or Mike Carter at 502.580.2670.

Technology	Definition	Best Application
Business Television (or Satellite Teleconferencing)	One-way satellite-delivered video with audience interaction via telephone.	Delivery of a timely, consistent message to geographically diverse locations. Can replace a "road show." New product roll-outs, training and education seminars, and corporate communications have all been successfully delivered via this method. This option is most cost-effective when needing to reach at least 10 - 15 locations, with at least 15 - 20 attendees per location.
