“The addition of Qumu’s platform to our collaboration portfolio offers all of Genesis clients access to the most flexible, secure and advanced content creation and management technology available,” said Gabriel Gely, Executive Vice President of Genesis Integration. “The accelerated pace of content consumption our enterprise clients are experiencing requires us to find creative solutions to tackle the challenges of both network limitations and user expectations. Together with Qumu, we can now provide a complete, robust solution.”
