Case Study: SAP achieves scalable employee engagement and streamlined live webcasts with Haivision KB Mini encoders

How SAP Keeps Their Company Growing with Live Streaming Video

SAP, the world’s third-largest software company with more than 85,000 employees worldwide, needed a way to engage a globally distributed workforce with secure, interactive live events—from regional sales meetings to company-wide all‑hands sessions. To deliver high‑quality live streams with single sign‑on access and enable live Q&A across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia while minimizing equipment logistics, SAP turned to Haivision and the KB Series (KB Mini) encoders alongside its proprietary enterprise video platform.

Haivision’s KB Mini encoders gave SAP a portable, plug‑and‑play encoding solution that a single events manager can carry on a plane, eliminating costly shipping and reducing setup and network-configuration time that previously took half a day. By deploying two KB Minis, SAP reliably produces live streams and multiple high‑quality recordings for VOD, improves employee engagement through interactive broadcasts, and frees production staff to focus on content rather than logistics.
