cOASIS program data is often the “source of truth” for the vendor community supporting customer meetings. Meeting planners can make changes in cAdmin and have data made available to registration companies, external journal library vendors, external content management systems and others. Data managed in the cOASIS application has long been available to be pulled by these external systems through a combination of reporting and function-specific APIs. CTI has now released the first administratively controlled bulk action push integration, which can be customized to push cAdmin data to a third party’s web-service.
The first integration added is with MediaSite, an on-site session recording product. Administrative users can select sessions that they wish to have MediaSite record at their meetings, click on the Integrate bulk action, and the sessions & presentations will be forwarded via web-services to MediaSite, receiving in return the “play code” from MediaSite that will allow virtual meeting users to watch the content on-demand once it has been recorded.
By placing this function within cAdmin, meeting planners have control over which sessions are ready to be recorded and can make live changes during the on-site portion of a hybrid meeting. Customers using MediaSite as their on-site content collection vendor need only set-up the MediaSite vendor in the Settings -> Vendor section of the site and add any role activities (eg co-chairs, moderators) to an exclusion list should they wish to exclude from recording.
This functionality will be expanded throughout the coming quarters to include push-type integrations with other vendors.
