Corporate and enterprise teams are told they need broadcast-grade video technology, but do they? In this ongoing video series, OpenDrives CEO Trevor Morgan and CTO Alex Dunfey sit down with Eivind Sandstrand, Founder and Principal of one of OpenDrives’ leading channel partners/system integrators Varde Media Solutions, to debunk common myths about “corporate video” and unpack what enterprise teams actually need to produce, manage, and scale video content effectively.

New episodes are added below as they release . Check back for links as they go live.

Episodes

Episode 1: Is “Corporate Video” a Myth? What Enterprises Actually Need Instead Corporate video technology is often just repurposed broadcast tech with a new label. Here’s what enterprise buyers actually care about instead — and why business outcomes, not specs, should drive the decision. (Watch: https://youtu.be/PI5buB8phgg)

Episode 2: Corporate Video Doesn’t Need Full Broadcast Tech Corporate video doesn’t need the full broadcast production stack. Here’s why loading on extra cost and complexity misses what these teams actually need, and what corporate video technology buyers should be looking for instead from media tech vendors. Hint: It’s not over-engineered broadcast tech. (Watch: https://youtu.be/5R8y8DPhLmk)
