IVT Takes Webcasting Software Platform to the Cloud

IVT, Inc. has moved its industry-leading MediaPlatform webcasting software platform to the cloud. With MediaPlatform increasingly being used in large-scale webcasts by media producers, as well as Fortune 500 clients, the company is elevating its delivery capacity through a partnership with a tier-1 cloud infrastructure provider.

“Our mission has always been to deliver the best quality of service and enable our clients to produce webcasts at literally any audience size without concern for infrastructure,” said Jim McGovern, Chief Executive Officer of IVT. “Now that cloud-based platforms are gaining widespread acceptance across the IT world, we can give our clients the benefit of switching capacity on and off when required.”

This is not the first time IVT has been ahead of the technology curve in the webcasting industry. The company pioneered the concept of offering webcasting software on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) basis with MediaPlatform. With MediaPlatform in the cloud, IVT enables its clients to benefit from what is rapidly emerging as the new paradigm for corporate computing.

In the cloud, MediaPlatform’s web services architecture can more readily serve diverse client needs by integrating with a range of enterprise systems, both cloud-based and on-premises.
The cloud, an approach to computing that places servers and infrastructure in remote, abstracted datacenters, is ideal for webcasting, which is known for unpredictable spikes in system load. By working with a tier-1 cloud infrastructure provider, IVT gains virtually unlimited capacity and world-class security, reliability, redundancy, failover, and load management.

IVT will continue to support the numerous on-premises installations of its software, including major deployments at global enterprises. IVT prides itself on offering its clients the choice between hosted and on-premises options.

Doc Assistant A-Z: Making the Most of the Cadence Cloud-Based Help Viewer: Pt. 2

At a bustling Cadence event, we met Adrian, an intern at a startup who immerses himself in Cadence tools for his research and work.

Adrian was enthusiastic about the innovative technologies at his disposal but faced a significant challenge: internet access was limited to a single machine for new joiners, forcing interns to wait in line for their turn to use online resources.

Adrian's excitement soared when he discovered a game-changing solution: Doc Assistant. The cloud-based help viewer, Doc Assistant, ships with all Cadence tools, enabling Adrian to access help resources offline from any machine equipped with the software. This meant Adrian could continue his research and work seamlessly, irrespective of internet availability!

Meeting Cadence users and customers at such events has given us the opportunity to showcase how they can benefit from the diverse features that Doc Assistant offers.

With that note, welcome back to our Doc Assistant A-Z blog series! In Part 1, we explored key features and benefits that our innovative viewer brings to the table. Today, in Part 2, we'll dive deeper into the advanced functionalities and customization options that make Doc Assistant indispensable for its users.

Whether you're looking to streamline your workflow or enhance your user experience, this blog will provide the insights you need to fully leverage the capabilities of our documentation viewer. Let’s get started!

What Makes Doc Assistant Stand Out?

Here are a few (more) cool features of Doc Assistant!

History and Bookmarks: Want to refer to the topic you read last week? Of course, you can! Doc Assistant stores your browsing activity as History. You can also bookmark topics and revisit them later.

Indexing Capabilities: Looking for seamless search capabilities? The advanced indexing capabilities of Doc Assistant enhance the accessibility and manageability of documents. Doc Assistant automatically creates a search index if it is missing or broken.

Jump Links: Worried about scrolling through lengthy topics? Fret no more! Use the jump links in each topic to quickly navigate to different sections within the same topic or across topics. Jump links reduce the need for excessive scrolling and let you access relevant content swiftly.

Just-in-Time Notifications: Looking for alerts and messages? That’s supported. Doc Assistant displays notifications about important events, including errors, warnings, information, and success messages.

Keyword-Based Search Suggestions: You somewhat know your search keyword, but not quite sure? No worries. Just start typing what you know. Keyword and page suggestions are displayed dynamically as you type, providing a more sophisticated and intuitive search experience.

Library-Switch Support: Want to view documents from other libraries? Doc Assistant, by default, displays documents for the currently active release in your machine. You can access documents from other releases by configuring the associated documentation libraries.

Multimedia Support: Want to view product demos? Multimedia support in Doc Assistant lets you play videos, listen to audio, and view images without opening any external application.

Navigation Made Easy: Worried that you’ll get lost in an infinite doc loop? Not at all. The intuitive navigation controls in Doc Assistant are designed to provide you with a fluid and efficient experience. The Doc Assistant user interface is clean and logically organized, with easy-to-access documentation links.

That's not all. We have more coming your way. Until next time, take care and stay tuned for our next edition!

Doc Assistant A-Z: Making the Most of the Cadence Cloud-Based Help Viewer Part 3

Welcome back to the Doc Assistant A-Z blog series!

Since the launch of Doc Assistant, we've been gathering feedback and input from our customers regarding their experiences with our latest documentation viewer. My interaction with Ralf was particularly useful and interesting.

Ralf is a design engineer who works on complex schematics and intricate layouts. For each release, he is challenged with the task of verifying the tool and feature changes across multiple releases. He shared with me that he has been using Doc Assistant’s capabilities to help him achieve this.

Ralf explained that he utilizes Doc Assistant to open and compare documents from different releases side-by-side, seamlessly tracking updates across multiple releases and verifying those updates in his Cadence tools. Additionally, in Doc Assistant’s online mode, he compares documents across previous tool versions, ensuring a thorough review of any changes. Finally, he was happy to share with me that Doc Assistant features have helped him significantly reduce the time he spends on identifying such changes.

You, of course, can also achieve such productivity gains using several Doc Assistant features designed to help simplify such tasks!

In previous editions of this blog series, we looked at some key features and benefits of Doc Assistant. If you've missed these editions, I would highly recommend that you read them:

In this third installment, we're diving into some more of Doc Assistant's key capabilities.

Open Multiple Documents

Want to refer to multiple docs at the same time? That’s easy!

Open each doc on a separate tab in Doc Assistant. 

Personalized Content Recommendations

Is it a hassle to navigate through all docs each time? You don’t have to.

You can tailor your Doc Assistant preferences to match your content requirements.

PDF Support

Do you prefer downloading and reading a PDF instead of an HTML?

That’s also supported.

Quick Access to Relevant Search Results

Are you pressed for time, and yet want to run a comprehensive doc search? You’re covered.

In online mode, search runs on all available product documentation, and the results are listed from multiple sources.

Resource Links

Looking for more information about a topic you’ve just read? That’s handy.

Look out for content recommendations!

Share Content

Want to share a useful doc with the rest of your team? That’s easy.

With a single click, Doc Assistant lets you share content with one or more readers.

Submit Feedback

Your feedback is important to us. Use the Submit Feedback feature to share your comments and inputs.

To learn more about how to use the above features, check out the Doc Assistant User Guide.

These are just a few of the productivity gain features in Doc Assistant. We’ll cover more in the next blog in the series.
