Choosing an Online Video Platform? Here’s Your Buyer’s Guide

Jan Ozer March 5, 2012 Blogs Leave a comment 696 Views

My buyer’s guide on online video platforms (OVPs) is up on StreamingMedia.com.

Online video platforms (OVPs) encode, publish, and monitor on-demand and live video content. If your publishing needs are straightforward, any OVP will do, and price will likely guide your decision. Once you go beyond the basics, however, the field becomes narrower. In this article, I’ll focus primarily on the advanced features now available from a limited group of OVPs. I’ll include a checklist so you can identify the features important to you and track whether the OVPs you’re considering offer them.

If you’re consider signing on with an OVP, or actively comparing OVPs, have a look.
