The Report includes three case studies, introducing how key Taiwanese companies adopt streaming solutions in external communication for improved competitiveness in the wave of digital transformation, and the key factors to their success. Companies benefit the most by leveraging streaming solution in Customer and Channel Relations(CR) KKStream's data from 2020 to 2021 shows that companies can save an average 43% in costs after switching from offline events to online streaming for external communications, with Customer and Channel Relations(CR) related communications benefiting the most. For example, live streaming a business development event online would avoid any constraints in geographic distance or venue size. By doing so, businesses can increase the frequency of communications, and significantly reduce cost and effort on venue, food and beverage, and travel expenses. KKStream also observed that companies tend to rely on streaming solutions in managing Investor Relations(IR), Customer and Channel Relations (CR), and Public Relations(PR). Four key advantages of streaming solutions allow businesses to solve offline communication pain points, and yield greater benefits from online and hybrid events. Based on years of experience in providing B2B streaming services, KKStream shares four popular streaming features among businesses: access management and content protection; simulive streaming; live chat and poll, and livestream replay (live to VOD). Information security is the key factor companies take into consideration when deciding a streaming solution, KKStream's BlendVision streaming solutions offer information security features such as permission management, watermarking, and DRM content encryption technology, alleviating security concerns for business. KKStream also discovered that 65% of companies prefer to apply simulive streaming in their live events, in which a part of the event is pre-recorded and goes through post-editing, to provide better audiovisual quality through post-production technology and create an experience comparable to offline events. 73% of companies use chatroom and polling features in their online live events, while 90% of event organizers would allow the livestream to be replayed in order to increase interaction and create The Long Tail Effect. Compared to offline events, these features allow streaming events to become more effective at driving results.
