DigitalFX International Chief Executive Officer Craig Ellins said, "FirstStream's point and click solutions are extremely robust and cost-effective. For instance, businesses can conduct live webcasts complete with graphics, polling questions, and interactive chat, with instant archiving for immediate on demand playback. They can also manage all their email with their own domain name and stream video email through that account. With just a few clicks of the mouse, they can even upload their own video assets and transcode them, or convert them, into different media player formats such as Windows Media Player, QuickTime and Flash and post on their company website for a more professional and interactive viewer experience.
"The FirstStream Studio offers an affordable all-in-one, robust streaming video platform empowering smaller businesses with video communications that normally would cost them thousands of dollars. No longer is the smaller business owner at a disadvantage against much larger competitors; FirstStream levels the playing field," Ellins said. "For companies marketing products and services, there is nothing that communicates better than a moving, talking picture, whether it's used by a real estate agent touring a home, a car sales associate demonstrating features to a potential buyer, or a clergyman spreading the word of the gospel."
Ellins said, "Many businesses have already discovered that video communications provide for uniformity of message, shorter sales cycle and can reduce marketing costs by eliminating the need to mail product samples, mockups, tapes/CDs/DVDs. It even creates the potential for real-time customer feedback and can ease travel expenses."
