Ten-TV Internet Broadcasing Services Drive Paradigm Shift for IT Training

 

Stunning Quality and World’s Most Powerful Video Search Engine Make Training-On-Demand a Reality

NEW YORK — The Technology Education Network, TEN-TV, today announced the availability of its world-class Internet broadcasting services. These services finally transform Internet video from a novelty item into a valuable and compelling tool for training-on-demand. For the past several months, TEN-TV and its blue-chip list of vendor partners have broadcast IT educational programs to their reseller channels and employees using these video streaming services.

TEN-TV has built the world’s most powerful video search engine for use with its huge library of educational and training clips. Unlike other search engines that simply present video segments culled from a transcript, the TEN-TV engine provides context to a search, and presents the results in user-friendly "chapters." Searches can be performed using vendors, presenters, content or keywords. Videos are also synchronized with presenters’ slides displayed in an adjoining window, making it easy for the viewer to follow along.

"This new search capability combined with TEN-TV’s vast database of training videos provides enormous value to our members," said Randy Haldeman, vice president and general manager of TEN-TV's Internet services division. "Users can extract, with surgical precision, the exact nugget of information they need and learn from it. This, combined with our video quality, passes a critical threshold to create a whole new paradigm of training on-demand, which will generate a tremendous amount of productivity in the IT field."

"Our vendor partners and members who previewed training events online have enthusiastically responded to the high quality of our video and the effectiveness of the search engine," said Bruce Hanson, president and CEO of The Technology Education Network. "Together, these features provide effective just-in-time learning for the IT professional, as well as an ongoing learning resource."

After months of broadcasting dozens of live events and thousands of educational and training clips for some of the world's leading IT vendors, including Microsoft, Lotus, IBM and Compaq, TEN-TV is now making these world-class Internet services available to the general IT marketplace.

"We’ve been using TEN-TV’s services since September," stated Aileen Murphy, Lotus Vision producer for Lotus Development Corporation. "As the Internet becomes an increasingly attractive medium for distribution of corporate training, we find it a compelling complement to TEN-TV’s satellite video distribution. The reaction from our Lotus Business Partners has been quite enthusiastic."

"I have viewed some of the live TEN-TV Internet broadcasts in Sweden and the

UK and was very impressed with the quality of the video," stated Stefan Keturi, Lotus Coordinator, International Business Systems, Ltd. "The video search engine and the archives also allow us to time-shift our learning, which we really appreciate. Since we are

always so busy, I think it is outstanding to be able to find the exact piece of information I am looking for and view only that segment."

Internet broadcast services are available immediately from TEN-TV, the Technology Education Network. Call (212) 422-1010 x136 for more details.
