A quick, non-technical guide From time to time, Instigo clients who wish to provide Instigo seminars for their employees must work with their IT people to allow seminars to be delivered through the corporate firewall, which can make it impossible to hear the streaming audio portion of an Instigo seminar. Firewall issues are matters of internal policy, not of technology.
Firewalls usually involve a total block on all outside connections into the network.
From that point, IT people 'open' the firewall only to specific outside terminal, network and internet servers after they are convinced that the outside connections pose no security threat. Instigo has dealt with many clients who have firewall issues. These clients include global manufacturing, transportation, financial, pharmaceutical, service, professional and other types of companies, as well as both government institutions and internationally-respected hospitals. By far the majority of firewall issues are solved quickly and effortlessly, once the client's IT people have a chance to talk to Instigo about the technical side of our system. No video is involved.
