Moderated by Erik K Linask, Group Editorial Director of TMCnet and featuring Steve Pattison, Accordent SVP Strategic Alliances; Kevin La Chapelle, Microsoft Principal Product Unit Manager for Expression Encoder, the webinar will cover such topics as:

• How the Accordent Enterprise Video Management platform enables organizations to leverage their Microsoft infrastructure – including Expression Encoder Pro, SharePoint and Lync (formerly OCS)
