Introducing Hive Sense: A higher standard for enterprise video

We’re launching Hive Sense, a new solution for enterprise video experience readiness. It shows the people responsible for video what quality their environment can deliver, what is holding it back, and whether the changes they make are improving the experience.

Sense arrives at a time when what organizations communicate, and how well it reaches people, carries unusual weight. AI is reshaping work, economic pressure is forcing difficult decisions, and companies are reconsidering how they operate. Employees need to understand what is changing, why it matters, and what comes next.

In this context, human connection and authenticity matter more than ever. Email, chat and other digital channels are essential for sharing information, but hearing directly from a leader carries a different weight. Town halls, leadership announcements and transformation updates let employees see the person behind the message. As AI drives rapid change, that kind of leadership is what keeps people aligned, and it makes live video more important than it has ever been.

The viewing experience should reflect that importance. Yet enterprise video is often judged by a narrower measure: whether the stream worked.

Hive Sense is built to raise that standard. It helps organizations answer a more ambitious question: what quality could their video experience reach, and what would it take to get there?

How Sense works

Sense puts ongoing video readiness and improvement in the hands of the people responsible for it. Automated daily checks track readiness between events. Targeted, self-service event and site evaluations show what relevant locations can deliver and which constraints need attention.

Separate Reliability, Quality, and Latency scores help IT and production professionals interpret results and focus their efforts. After making a change, they can repeat an evaluation to assess whether conditions improved, providing a practical basis for pursuing higher resolution, fewer interruptions, or lower latency.

This repeatable cycle also changes how much effort readiness takes. Automated checks reduce the manual testing and coordination that usually comes before each event, and shared results cut down the back-and-forth between IT, production and communications when something needs attention. The people responsible for video spend less time preparing and investigating, and more time raising the quality of the experience. Sense works across supported video and delivery environments, independently of Hive eCDN. See how Sense works →

As companies ask employees to understand and participate in substantial change, the quality of that communication deserves deliberate attention. Sense helps ensure the ambition of the viewing experience receives the same care as the message itself.

Who Sense is for

A strong video experience depends on more than one function. Sense gives everyone involved a shared view of readiness, so they can plan from the same results.

For IT, network and digital workplace, Sense helps you find constraints early, focus technical work where it makes the most difference, and confirm whether your changes have improved conditions.

For video production, it shows which locations are ready for the quality you plan to produce, before an event goes live.

For communications, events and transformation, it helps you give leadership updates and change programs a viewing experience that matches what is at stake, so employees stay with the message.
