Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted leader for video content
management and webcasting
solutions, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in
the first Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Video Content Management*.
Gartner defines enterprise video content management as "software,
appliances or software as a service (SaaS) intended to manage and
facilitate the delivery of one-to-any on-demand video across Internet
protocols." This report focuses on vendors that pursue internal,
worker-facing video installations as a key part of their business.
“We believe the inclusion of Sonic Foundry in the first Magic Quadrant
on the space is testament to our vision of providing the most
comprehensive video management and distribution platform,” said Gary
Weis, chief executive officer of Sonic Foundry. “As video creation and
consumption grows at an ever increasing pace, we are gratified to
provide our customers with the solutions they need to achieve scalable,
streamlined initiatives.”
According to the report, inquiries related to enterprise video content
management continue to rise, and vendor revenue growth in this category
is significant. Gartner projects that by 2016, large companies will
stream more than 16 hours of video per worker per month, up from 7.2
hours in 2010.
Mediasite Enterprise Video Platform is an advanced, open and integrated
approach to any enterprise strategy for creating, managing and
