WebEx first to offer a true archive for conferences? I think not
Tags :Rant
I read this little
gem snuck in on the right side
of a page on MessagingPipeline. There are some claims by WebEx in
the capabilities of recording meetings.
The content is recorded
in a secure format optimized for scalable storage, and customers can use
the solution's administrative settings to customize the settings to meet
their specific retention polices. The new product is believed to be the
first that provides a true archive for web conference content, and puts
WebEx at the forefront of solutions that meet the communications needs
of financial services companies while addressing their compliance requirements.
I believe Sametime has done this
recording for a long time and
stores it as rap
files that can be archived off, imported into new meetings and even have
security changed as you put it out there for broadcast. So how the
heck does WebEx claim to think it is the first?
It is always interesting to see claims
from vendors when they know there is another solution that provides the
functionality for some time. I took into consideration they are working
off the idea that Sametime is an enterprise type solution, while WebEx
is for just about anyone. Without having to run your own server.
So if we take that a step further, how
do they store, and also provide retention for these recorded meetings to
meet all the standards?
