Challenges
John Cockerill Defense faced several challenges as they tried to modernize their training process. With multiple training programs such as virtual maintenance training for technicians, simulation training for commanders and gunners, and tactical training videos, they needed a platform that could host all this content as video-on-demand (VOD) while ensuring an engaging experience for trainees. Organizing the vast amount of training video content was essential to streamline the learning process.
Beyond static training, John Cockerill also wanted to make the learning experience more interactive. They needed to track employee progress, providing insights into how trainees interacted with the content. Furthermore, the defense manufacturing company often conducted live training sessions, including product demonstrations and skills-based training, which would later need to be archived as VOD.
Another layer of complexity was securing this sensitive defense-related content by segregating content for different departments, all while ensuring that the video content remained within their own servers due to the sensitive nature of their training materials.
