Innovative Dental Education Company Uses the Limelight OrchestrateTM
Video Platform to Offer 1,300 Online Video Courses
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
With e-learning on the rise, Limelight
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:LLNW), a global leader in digital content
delivery, announced Spear
Education is leveraging the Limelight OrchestrateTM
(“Orchestrate”) Video platform to provide online courses to dental
professionals around the world.
Spear Education offers innovative dental education to dentists and their
staff around the globe. In 2010, Spear expanded its business by
launching Spear Online, with over 1,300 research-driven educational
videos that dentists and their staff can access in their own offices, on
their own schedules. In five years, Spear has grown its video customer
base to more than 5,000 dental professionals.
“With Limelight, video files are automatically transcoded to all formats
for any device. Limelight enables us to provide consistent delivery of
our video content, at any time, to any device, across the globe,” said
Shane Walsh, director of video production at Spear. “In addition, with
analytics from Limelight, we can now track our videos and determine
which have the most views, and how long people have watched them. That
is very useful information that allows us to improve our final product
to our customers.”
Since Spear implemented the Orchestrate Video platform, busy dental
professionals can learn the newest techniques at the most convenient
time and location for them. Through the platform’s analytics Spear can
evaluate length of views, unique views, and other insights such as which
titles are consumed the most and watched to the end. This valuable
information helps them optimize their business and provide the most
useful content to their customers.
“Online educational programs such as Spear Online are growing in
popularity, especially since you can learn at your own pace and at the
time that works best for you,” said Nigel Burmeister, vice president
global marketing at Limelight. “Delivering an exceptional video
experience is critical to engaging online audiences and we are happy to
be working with Spear to ensure their customers have the highest
possible quality of experience.”
