NEW YORK, NY — Stream57, the leading provider of fully customizable webcasting and streaming media solutions and services, has launched the Stream57 Virtual Solutions Group, a new in-house strategy and consulting team created to help clients craft and execute innovative streaming media and webcast programs. With members culled from the account management, marketing and event production divisions, the Virtual Solutions Group is the ultimate resource in streaming event coordination for creating the most successful virtual programs possible.

"Streaming media software and infrastructure have come incredibly far over the past few years, making webcasting a 'must have' technology for all businesses. Now it is time to see what we can really do with it," Ben Chodor, President of Stream57 said. "We created the Stream57 Virtual Solutions Group to bring together our unmatched experience and our unbeatable record of success in the business, knowing that we can best serve our clients as architects in designing virtual events. Combining this streaming expertise with our user-proven webcasting platform, we're bringing a new force to the field – it’s not about just doing it anymore, it's all about doing it right."

Stream57's custom-built Flash application, StreamLine 3, is the streaming media platform of choice for major pharmaceutical, education, publishing and business organizations alike, streaming live and on-demand content to audiences all over the world. With new interactive features including enhanced viewer-to-viewer and one-on-one chat capabilities, additional live polling options, e-learning course creation tools and improved custom registration support, Stream57 is pushing beyond an industry crowded with stagnant audio conferences and unreliable video streams. Working closely with clients to assess their audiences and create the most engaging virtual experiences possible, Stream57 has delivered immersive virtual environments, all-day online meeting tracks, creative coast-to-coast promotional events and other programs that effectively draw, engage and educate viewers every time.

The Stream57 Virtual Solutions Group's purpose is to help businesses harness rapidly advancing streaming technology as companies are seeking ways to combat declining physical attendance and obstacles like the H1N1 flu virus, rising travel costs and recession-era marketing budgets. Stream57's consulting team employs a multi-step process to conceptualize ideal solutions that address client needs and work to develop a comprehensive execution strategy to see the program through to completion. Working alongside a vast network of production and live event partners, Stream57's team of specialists strive for perfection with every program.

"Audiences have changed – they're smarter, hungrier for information, and are no longer simply duped by sound effects and imitation live meetings. Virtual events are their own medium and need to be treated as such – delivering the content and connections users want in a way that works is what really matters," Chodor added. "Strategy, experience and a proven track record for both solid software performance and dedicated service are what make the Stream57 Virtual Solutions Group the best resource for creating successful virtual events. As we have always guaranteed, Stream57 is not simply a product. We are your partner."
