THE SITUATION

Getting plenty of positive feedback and nice experience from the past cooperation, Microsoft Hong Kong continuously partnered with TFI to live stream the Tech Forum – Azure Fundamentals to the public on 2 May 2017.

THE CHALLENGE

To deliver a premium interactive live forum, Microsoft strongly required a reliable and trustable vendor to provide live streaming service for seamless real time communication between the online audience and speakers. The key is to find a vendor who has the capability to offer a broadcast quality and steady live stream.
