MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Qumu (NASDAQ: QUMU), the leading provider of best-in-class video technology for the enterprise, has announced its next generation enterprise video technology platform. This new platform uses built-in intelligence to autonomously manage and optimize all inbound and outbound corporate video streams, creating the first true video-aware network for the enterprise.
“Through recent technology releases as well as several new partnerships, Qumu can now manage and optimize everything related to video within the enterprise,” said Vern Hanzlik, President and CEO of Qumu. “Our platform can take all aspects of inbound video, video management and video delivery, and bond it all together with one intelligent platform—a platform that is autonomous, flexible, and implementation-agnostic.”
This announcement comes weeks after Qumu made its first-ever appearance in the Aragon Research Globe for Web and Video Conferencing as a new contender in that space. Typically dominated by firms like Microsoft, Zoom, Cisco and Adobe, the web and video conferencing market is quickly expanding to include companies like Qumu, who can unite fragmented technologies such as webcasting, content management and video delivery under a single platform.
Recently formalized partnerships with Kollective and British Telecom (BT) have been key to the rollout of Qumu’s new platform. “We are excited to announce our integration with Qumu, which will ensure companies can deliver a stunning enterprise video experience, without impacting their networks,” stated Dan Vetras, CEO of Kollective. “The partnership with Qumu and Kollective ensures that networked devices, even in the most remote locations, can dynamically stream high-quality video content using an intelligent peering model.”
One of the first beneficiaries of the Qumu and Kollective partnership is BT, who has recently signed on to offer Qumu’s enterprise video platform to its global customer base. “We are thrilled Qumu and Kollective have chosen to integrate their offerings,” said Paul McCrosson, Product Manager at BT Global Services. “This new partnership will allow BT to offer these combined services in a standard package to our customers, reducing the time and risk to deploy a comprehensive streaming solution—whether it’s securely hosted from the Cloud, or managed on-premise.”
With these recent platform improvements and partnerships, Qumu is now able to provide Global 2000 customers with a holistic technology solution for capturing, managing and delivering corporate video—regardless of device, bandwidth constraints or location. “Our goal has always been to deliver an intelligent, end-to-end enterprise video technology solution,” added Hanzlik. “And early in 2019 we have achieved that goal.”
