Consultancy

Stream UK consults in two areas:

1. With larger media companies to assist in their streaming media processes.
2. For the European Commission and other governmental organisations.

We cover:

• End to end workflow analysis and ROI-based system design
• Workshops on encoding techniques and the fundamentals behind them
• Design of centralised encoding solutions.

Our fundamental approach is to model the problem using animated Excel flowcharts, these are fully-configurable with real-life variables and produce complete ROI reports, analysis by node and analysis by unit.
