OVEE Deactivation FAQ

Why is OVEE sunsetting? What process informed the decision to sunset OVEE?

Every few years we conduct a competitive analysis to help support decision-making around OVEE. This past spring OVEE partners participated in an analysis that involved benchmarking the features and functionality of OVEE against other products and talking to stakeholders about its strengths, weaknesses and future potential. The analysis highlighted newer commercial platforms that come closer than they once did to OVEE’s user experience and offer 24/7 tech support and other services that ITVS is not equipped to provide. After an extensive discovery process, ITVS made the difficult decision to deactivate OVEE and focus its tech innovation resources on the interactive feedback platform DocSCALE.

Are you recommending another virtual engagement platform?

No, we are not recommending a specific engagement platform as our analysis revealed that most partners are now familiar with many other tools including Hopin, Maestro, and Vimeo Live to name a few.
