Challenges Before Hubilo

GRAITEC uses webinars to educate on BIM and Industry 4.0, engage their audience, and build thought leadership to attract customers and drive growth.

Prior to adopting Hubilo, GRAITEC faced several challenges with their previous traditional legacy platform, including:

• Limited Customization: The legacy platform offered minimal branding options and a dated console design, lacking modern engagement tools.
• Attendee Interaction Restrictions: Features like "raise hand" and unmuting were unavailable, limiting attendee interactivity.
• Content Access Limitations: The previous platform only allowed 30 days to access event recordings, complicating content reuse for GRAITEC.
• Presenter Restrictions: The old legacy platform restricted presenters from sharing their screen or presenting PowerPoints directly, affecting presentation quality.
