![[USE CASE] One of the world’s largest global banks successfully hosts corporate access roadshow events in a secure virtual environment](https://callcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Virtual-Events-1080x675.jpeg)

BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Our longest-standing client of over 23 years, one of the world’s largest global banks, was preparing for its annual Healthcare Conference for its management teams and investors. The three-day annual event, historically hosted at the company’s headquarters, would need to be hosted virtually given the impact of COVID-19 and the need to avoid in-person gatherings.
For the first time in the company’s history hosting one of its annual roadshows in a virtual environment, there were strict security standards for meeting attendance required:
- It cannot allow non-clients access to a premium event
- It cannot allow investors from different firms to attend the same session (the line of questions from an investor provides insight into their investment strategy, therefore, it should not be shared with a competing firm)
OUR APPROACH
Our team gladly accepted the challenge and successfully hosted over 40 management teams and investors – from around the world. No security breaches. No audio break-up. And no, video or bandwidth issues.
- The event took place over a three-day period with several meetings hosted throughout each day
- Each management team had its own dedicated room and lead operator with individual portals and channels for open communication – at all times
- Investors from the host’s client base were able to schedule 30-45 minute meetings with the CEO, CFO and Directors from large healthcare organizations for a more private and personalized session
RESULTS
Not only was the client extremely pleased with our exceptional white-glove service and audio, video and bandwidth quality, but they are also now considering hosting the majority of their annual roadshows in a virtual environment. In addition, several of their other divisions are now taking advantage of the CIA Omnigage Concierge Virtual Corporate Access Roadshow services.

![[USE CASE] CIA Omnigage Creates Virtual Multi-room Environment for Government Agency Board Meetings](https://callcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Virtual-Events-parallax-1080x675.jpg)

BUSINESS CHALLENGE
A government agency needed to continue hosting monthly board meetings to present reports from various stakeholders, conduct a public comments period, conduct a private executive session and review and vote on action items. Due to COVID-19, the agency contacted CIA Omnigage to design and host a virtual environment for these meetings.
OUR APPROACH
CIA Omnigage created a virtual multi-room environment that segregated the three participant types by role. The virtual roles were further controlled by a dedicated dial-in phone number and code for each attendee segment to ensure each participant received the appropriate level of access. The role assignments control whose line is open and when and also determines who is permitted to attend the Executive Session. An event manager is assigned to the virtual meeting and serves as a point of contact for the agency and assists with public session moderation, meeting alerts and meeting transitions. Last, the agency support team is provided access to the CIA Omnigage event portal where they can view real-time attendance data in each meeting segment.
RESULTS
The success of the CIA Omnigage virtual board meeting allowed for word-of-mouth adoption and by the end of 2020 three government agencies are using the service and CIA Omnigage has hosted 24 board meetings. The solution provided business continuity for each agency and ensured the board could continue to meet with each other and provide public access to their proceedings including public commentary.

![[USE CASE] Major global trading firm leverages mass notification solution for business continuity](https://callcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/global-conference-phone-1080x675.jpeg)
by CIA Omnigage | Oct 12, 2020 | Blog, Case Studies
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
A major global trading firm with offices across North America, Australia, Europe, and Asia must be prepared to communicate with employees during critical events. The firm must account for a total infrastructure outage and be able to alert employees at a moment’s notice securely.
OUR APPROACH
A delta of the regional and team data is synced throughout the day, providing redundancy if the firm’s data centers are unavailable, including CRMs. Regional leaders have access to the standalone solution with a personalized view of their team. Multiple alert channels, including voice and SMS, are available depending on the nature of the notice.
RESULTS
The client was pleased with the responsiveness during the integration. During the pandemic, the solution was leveraged to send multiple mass alerts.
