Government

Mission-Critical Multimedia
Better training and communication with Panopto helps governments and military agencies do more with less.

Effective communication and training are critical to good government. To train a distributed workforce, deliver local services, or turn research into policy, agencies at all levels must develop reliable systems to manage their specialized knowledge. But with budget cutbacks in place and more cuts to come, efficiency and affordability have become the watchwords of government spending. Panopto is both: an easy-to-use, easy-to-scale means to transform your messaging and a resource-maximizer delivering significant cost savings in the process.

 

Federal government agencies

Whether you analyze intelligence at DOD, assess risk at EPA, or build rockets at NASA, having an efficient way to capture and deliver your work in a rich context is an essential component of Government 2.0.  Panopto delivers immediate cost savings, improved communication, and a truly usable management platform for all of your existing rich media.
  • Capture, share and search complex information across distributed field offices, between agencies, or up and down the chain of command
  • Reduce travel budgets by live streaming events, conferences, and meetings
  • Transition costly onsite training to the web by recording targeted sessions for on-demand access
  • Advance the core principles of the Open Government Directive by creating engaging, keyword searchable presentations for public outreach and messaging
  • Create dynamic rich media recordings to present new research, improve congressional lobbying, or to review new policy initiatives
  • Comply with the federal Cloud First Initiative by taking advantage of our secure cloud-based solution.
 

State, local, tribal agencies

State, local, and tribal agencies share many of the same communication and outreach requirements as the federal government.  But as direct service providers to their communities, they face additional challenges related to field deployment and training.  Managing utilities, repairing roads, protecting the peace, and delivering tribal services are all operationally complex and training intensive. Panopto provides a powerful toolset to help you manage information and streamline your training.

  • Record and publish hearings, meetings, speeches, interviews, PSAs, and more to websites and social media platforms for public outreach
  • Create searchable rich media guides detailing procedures and best practices within an agency, division, or employee classification
  • Deliver contextual project and performance reports that combine narrative review with searchable data and supporting material
  • Create and distribute professional classroom and field training at any scale
  • Develop formal online training courses, broadcast live events to remote audiences, and capture any training session for subsequent on-demand access and review
 

Government contractors

Winning and executing even the smallest government service contract is an exacting process.  Managing massive contracts with hundreds of subcontractors requires a range of specialized personnel and technology.  In either case, contractors must develop efficient methods to share, reference, and update complex information and document progress.
 
The ability to create professional presentations in-house with just a few mouse clicks is an indispensable tool for contractors looking to demonstrate their productivity.  And the combination of Panopto’s transcription service and advanced search capability makes sharing and reviewing your rich media presentations as efficient as exchanging text files.

  • Reduce contract costs by cutting travel budgets and delivering on-demand and distance learning
  • Manage communication between prime and subcontractors by documenting progress with keyword searchable presentations
  • Present impressive, contextual EVM updates by narrating required documents using slides and screen capture, and allowing viewers to navigate your data at will
  • Support simulation and other technical training with rich media tutorials, walkthroughs, product updates, and recorded support sessions
  • Develop stunning, HD quality product demonstrations that are both visually impressive and comprehensive
  • Create persuasive status reports and responses to new Task Orders by leveraging the contextual power of rich media and attaching supporting documentation to any presentation

 

 
 

Panopto in the field

The halls of American government don’t just lead to well-appointed offices and cubicles.  You're as likely to find yourself in a high tech laboratory, on a viewing stand deep within the Redwoods, or onboard a Navy warship in the North Atlantic.  As a completely software-based solution, Panopto is designed to adapt to your unique conditions, not the other way around.  You can take Panopto with you in your pocket, create professional presentations directly on your laptop, or plug it into a dedicated recording environment with the most sophisticated A/V setup imaginable.

  • Capture and view content anywhere, from any device
  • Record video without Panopto then use Unison to convert the files and synchronize them with other rich media inputs
  • Record and narrate complex physical and technical demonstrations in the field using multiple HD video feeds
  • Capture a multi-input presentation without a network connection and upload automatically when connectivity is restored
  • Record content from multiple locations, at different times, and in any order, then splice and mix the streams in the Panopto editor
