Ãœber 1 Million Studierende nutzen VIMP

Even though Corona still influences our lives, we have now become accustomed to the limitations in many areas and appropriate solutions have been created for the new circumstances.

VIMP could also contribute to this and therefore we would like to thank our existing and new customers for their trust in our solutions.

Due to the pandemic, we also faced new challenges and are glad to be able to support numerous universities and companies with our software in this situation.

We are especially pleased that meanwhile more than 1 million students have access to our VIMP Corporate Campus and that we are able to make a significant contribution to video-based online teaching.
The following feedback from the OTH Regensburg made us very happy:

“Since 2016 VIMP is used at the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg (East Bavarian Technical University) as central video platform for teaching videos. The videos are embedded in our e-learning platform Moodle.

In order to be able to cope with the digital semester, the server capacities were increased considerably. The comprehensive configuration options have enabled us to scale quickly and to cope with the increased effort. Without the competent support team of VIMP, this sudden change of the lecture operation would have been very difficult to handle. VIMP is essential for the current operation of the university and withstands the increased requirements very well. The offer is positively accepted by professors and students.”
