Latest Technologies Leveraging Your Existing IT Infrustructure

All StreamTrax interactive communications tools are built using the latest-technology ASP.NET and .NET Smart Client architecture. This means our applications run smoothly and responsively, with a light footprint that won't reduce productivity by slowing down other applications running on the user's desktop.

StreamTrax tools are fully software-based and leverage your existing TCP/IP network and computer systems investment. Our tools save your enterprise money by incorporating one of the best proprietary video compression codecs available, meaning you get a better video picture while utilizing less bandwidth.

StreamTrax software uses the industry's preferred database technology - Microsoft SQL Server - resulting in the utmost stability and security for your information.

Finally, to ensure that all of our online web-based tools offer the maximum performance we have used the highly touted AJAX methodology to remove the screen refreshes that normally occur in web applications, and have built all tools with scalability in mind.

100% White Label

We at StreamTrax know that your brand image is key to your success. Accordingly, we have designed all of our tools to be easily customized to match your brand identity perfectly.

With simple changes to configuration files and the inclusion of your logo graphic images and colors, your staff and customers will have a rich experience that conveys your brand identity, seamlessly integrating with your existing products and services.

Presence Extending to Your Customer Base

With a lightweight smart client application that installs to the user desktop and stays out of the way, your STX LIVE Portal and communication tools know when each user is online and available for communication. This distinction is called Presence, and its availability ensures the highest level of convenience and productivity for your staff.

StreamTrax Interactive communication tools take things a step further. With the ability to deploy StreamTrax applications to your client base, you gain a powerful advantage that literally pulls your customers into your portal for live communication. The same lightweight smart client application that provides user presence allows you to send high-quality alert messages to your clients. These alerts can convey any message and with a simple click of the alert popup, the user is taken directly into your STX LIVE Portal to read more information and to interact with your enterprise.

Accessible From Anywhere

Because StreamTrax interactive communication tools use an ASP.NET web portal as the back-end glue that holds it all together, administrators and staff can access, use and configure the system from any web-enabled computer.

Additionally, StreamTrax offers web-only versions of all of its client applications, meaning users can connect with your enterprise from any computer with a web connection without having to install any software at all. Of course, for enhanced functionality and features, users can still choose install the .NET smart client versions of the applications to their desktops, a process that is made easy by the smart client installation and upgrade technology.

Easily Installed & Maintained

StreamTrax's powerful installation programs make installing your new STX LIVE Portal, communication server and front-end communication applications a breeze.

With StreamTrax, there is no need to install and configure costly hardware components, something you typically have to do when adopting the old-school conferencing solutions. StreamTrax applications work using standard Windows based architecture and typical TCP/IP networks, so your current IT staff can easily maintain the system.

Additionally, StreamTrax builds a convenient backup solution right into its portal product, greatly increasing the security of your information.

StreamTrax's family of interactive communication tools offer so much more than just video conferencing. In fact, StreamTrax has built two powerful value-added suites that with the turn of a key offer your enterprise sophisticated abilities.

Highly Interoperable & Proxy Friendly

StreamTrax client communication tools are built using web services, a technology that allows for easy interoperability with other platforms and operating systems, and additionally does a superior job of enabling communication without the need for proxy servers.

Web services are designed to allow a wide variety of platforms to consume them. Windows desktop applications, web applications, Macromedia Flash applications as well as Linux and Mac OS based applications can all interact with web services in a robust, secure way. This gives your enterprise the choice to create integrations between StreamTrax functionality and your existing proprietary applications.

Web services inherently use port 80 to communicate with your internal network servers, therefore communications occur seamlessly with a minimum of hassle or configuration needed.
