Are you constantly challenged to find the right tools to meet your company’s collaboration needs while keeping costs down? You might have decided to use chat and meeting solutions bundled with an enterprise collaboration suite that doesn’t meet all your needs. Even worse, you might be overpaying for features that you don’t even use. Join us in this session to learn how Connexity was able to roll out Amazon Chime in just a few steps. Costs were not only reduced, but using Chime’s pay-as-you-go pricing resulted in collaboration costs dropping by 25% and administrative overhead dropping to zero.
Dissecting Media Asset Management Architecture and Media Archive TCO (MAE301)...Amazon Web Services
