"Video has fast become an invaluable enterprise asset,” Smith said.
“With mobile devices and cloud access to video content, it has exploded
across consumer and business spectrums. However, due to its increased
usage, it needs to be managed throughout its lifecycle just like any
other content type."
“Our driving mission has been to perfect the capture and management of
the knowledge shared around the world, and this acknowledgment by the
respected analysts at Aragon Research is validation of that,” said Gary
Weis, Sonic Foundry chief executive officer. “We are honored to be named
a market leader, and as we forge ahead, our customers will continue to
experience unparalleled quality in enterprise video.”
