The vSearchCloud platform enables companies to unlock the power of video and rich media content, transforming this exploding information medium into critical business intelligence. The company also introduced today a new corporate identity and brand strategy, officially changing its name to Altus365, and its website to www.altus365.com, reinforcing the company's vision to deliver anytime, anywhere access to video and corporate intelligence. "Enterprise content is increasingly shifting from text and images to video, but most companies lack the ability to effectively leverage this valuable content. By combining a robust cloud platform with the unlimited scale to build rich-media applications (for corporate conferences and events, sales enablement, and learning), vSearchCloud provides the ideal platform for capturing, managing and monetizing critical business intelligence stored in rich media," said Ted Cocheu, CEO and Founder of Altus365. Enterprise video search drives business intelligence Rich media and video content is exploding, with bandwidth increasing 26 times to over 700 petabytes by 2015 (Cisco Visual Networking Index: Usage Study, October 2010). The vSearchCloud platform enables companies, for the first time, to derive business intelligence from video content. The platform is based on a cloud infrastructure that allows companies to build rich-media applications and publish, manage and deliver rich media content on-demand to any device, including computers, smart phones and tablets. The vSearchCloud platform takes digital media from any source, including any video format, webcasting and web conferencing archives. The content is then made fully searchable and accessible at the point of interest, which saves time and significantly increases productivity. "Altus365 is poised to make its mark on the growing rich media content category by combining advanced content search capabilities with the scalability, cost-effectiveness, and easy activation of a cloud-based offering," said Ira Weinstein, Senior Analyst and Partner, Wainhouse Research. "The increasing popularity of rich media content, paired with the increased usage of mobile and tablet devices by information workers, has created a strong need for solutions, like vSearchCloud, that help enterprises centralize, categorize, and distribute their media assets." vSearchCloud Platform Features: Any Device Access -- Ability to view video presentations on-demand on any computer, tablet or smart phone increases content accessibility and provides a long tail to valuable corporate content. Comprehensive Enterprise Integration -- Securely integrates with enterprise applications, such as SharePoint, Salesforce.com, event registration programs and marketing automation tools. vSearchCloud also integrates with a range of social media applications including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, blogs and instant messaging, and allows for content sharing, comments and ratings. Syndication -- Content can be managed and syndicated throughout the extended enterprise, including internal/employee communications, sales training, partner and customer ecosystem sites, events and conferences, and additional third party applications. Rich Analytics -- Robust analytics, data sharing, dashboards and comprehensive usage tracking, allows companies to drive additional revenue through lead generation. Scalable Architecture with customized Apps -- Web services architecture allows third parties to build special purpose applications on the vSearchCloud platform to provide rich media capabilities. The cloud-based infrastructure enables highly scalable and cost-effective video publishing for large conferences and events.
