About Americold

With over 16,000 employees and facilities spanning several countries, Americold operates a complex network that caters to the unique needs of industries.
Challenges
Americold faced significant hurdles in managing its internal communications and employee training efforts. They relied on SharePoint to store and organize their content, including corporate communications and training videos.
However, SharePoint presented a challenge: it wasn’t designed for smooth video streaming, which created issues when employees tried to access video content. Buffering, poor playback quality, and accessibility problems hindered the effectiveness of important CEO messages, financial updates, and all-hands meetings.
Additionally, Americold was constrained by bandwidth limitations, which meant public video platforms like YouTube or Vimeo were not viable solutions. These platforms were restricted to ensure their network’s bandwidth was reserved for critical operational systems.
The need for an on-premises solution to securely host and stream videos on demand became critical, especially for engaging warehouse employees in training and learning programs. Americold needed a platform to support corporate communications, training videos, and global collaboration without compromising their network’s integrity.
