Digital Pipe, the leading outsourced provider of intranet-based content delivery networks and Design Media, a top full-service instructional design/multimedia production company, today announced a strategic partnership to bring e-learning programs to their customers using television-quality streaming media applications.
Through the partnership, Digital Pipe and Design Media will act as referral partners, bringing value-added services to each other's customers and prospects. Design Media designs and produces custom instructional and corporate communications programs, and Digital Pipe provides the infrastructure or intranet content delivery network (iCDN) and management services. Design Media - which recently launched its IgniteoRe-Ignite Recruitment, Retention and Renewal(TM) product to help companies orient and retain their people - will offer its clients Digital Pipe's nCORE(TM) solution for the highest quality package using streaming media services when appropriate.
"Design Media's clients will now have a new, modern distribution infrastructure for their custom training and communication programs," said Chris Wallace, Digital Pipe's President and CEO. "Digital Pipe's technology basically turns a corporate PC into a desktop TV. It is point-and-click convenience for just-in-time training. It offers a visual way to communicate with and train employees without the expense and disruptions of meetings and travel or the complex distribution of VHS tapes or CD-ROMs."
According to Design Media President and CEO Pamela May, "The partnering of our companies makes good sense because our clients have the same needs. They require quality instructional content delivered in an easy to access format. Design Media has over two decades of experience creating custom learning and communication solutions for Fortune 500 companies.
