You are a Solicitor, Partner, Communicator or Paralegal whose priorities range from representing people in court to creating legal documents.

manufacturing

You are an Engineer, involved in research and design, or a Operations professional, charged with managing Logistics and Supply Chain. Whatever the case may be, Manufacturing is a complex industry. Success in Manufacturing depends on making the process more efficient, constantly improving the product and communicating with stakeholders at every stage.

  • Use a video on demand platform for the sharing, retention and creation of information. This is key in a continuous learning industry such as healthcare

  • Host a video facility that is secure. Implement strong authentication measures required for the medical industry
  • Moving forward, potential use lies within remote diagnostics. Instead of physically disabled patients travelling long distances, patients can use webcams and other technology to see a doctor virtually via video
