Communications to the edge
“Efficient video delivery to staff located on the fringes of the network was key to the requirement of the solution. Kollective was able to meet this requirement bringing communications to areas where it had not been possible before.”
Manager Global Digital Media & AV, HSBC BANK
End user satisfaction
“Everything worked exactly as they said it would. Rarely have I had such a pleasant experience with a solution/vendor first time around. Our users were quite impressed, maybe even surprised by the degree of improvement.”
Director of Telemedicine Business & Operations, Children’s Mercy Hospital
Phenomenal Service
"If you are not a Kollective customer and you are considering it, feel free to reach out to me. Kollective has been amazing. Their product, their reliability, their support and the relationship have been phenomenal."
Communications Program Manager, Driscolls
Metrics that matter
“Now, not only can we be sure videos have been delivered, we can see how many are viewed and also, crucially, when employees stop watching. It also gives us feedback on the videos we create by seeing what has really resonated and which have been less than successful. All this without any additional strain on our network or bandwidth.”
Head of Corporate & Member Communication, Nationwide Building Society
Ease of Use
“Since deploying Kollective, I have touched the settings on the client once in four years. From a network point of view, I don’t hear about it, which means it’s the perfect solution. One of the best we have.”
Sr. Network Architect, Nestle

Schneider Electric Transforms Company Culture Using Live Video
In past years, Schneider has flown around 1,000 of its leaders to Europe for a yearly corporate strategic planning event called the Leadership Forum. The event had become cost-prohibitive, and Schneider realized it was an increasingly inefficient way to communicate strategy. Schneider worked with Kollective to move their Leadership Forum to Video and subsequently save costs and reach over 75,000 employees around the world with a high-quality viewing experience without negatively impacting the network.
Results:
- Expanded employee reach - by moving to a digital Leadership Forum, Schneider was able to directly reach many more employees than they otherwise would have without Kollective.
- Cost Reduction - Because the company no longer needed to send over 1,000 executives to Paris every January, there was a 20x reduction in overall cost.
- Engaged Employees - The new format created an environment where employees felt empowered and engaged.
- Video-Prepared Executives - Live video is no longer an afterthought, but is an executive and employee expectation. Video (including on-demand content) is now an integral part of their corporate culture and overarching communications plan.
- Network Issues Prevented - Working with Kollective, Schneider ran multiple tests leading up to these events and the Network Readiness Test identified a number of potential issues on the Schneider network, the Kollective team was able to make configuration changes to address these.
- High Quality, Flexible Delivery - Schneider offered high-quality delivery to all employees without negatively impacting the corporate network.
