WebEx Connect Unlocks Software Suite and Enables New Generation of
Distributed Innovation with On-Demand Integration, Distribution and
Monetization Platform PALO ALTO, Calif. and SAN FRANCISCO, April 17
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Web 2.0 Expo -- Veodia, the first
provider of a browser-based, TV-quality video broadcasting service,
and WebEx (NASDAQ:WEBX), the leading provider of on-demand
applications for collaborative business, today announced that
Veodia has joined the WebEx Connect Developer Network to make
Veodia services available via WebEx Connect. WebEx Connect, the
first collaborative on-demand platform, will enable developers and
customers to integrate multiple applications to create powerful
collaborative business "mashup" solutions from best-of-breed
web-based, on- premises and desktop applications. Veodia, the first
high-end video broadcasting service based on MPEG-4 / H.264,
enables business users and professional video bloggers to create
and distribute live and recorded video over the Internet to
thousands of viewers without special equipment, advanced video
skills or upfront costs. Veodia's high-end video broadcasting
service caters to business users and professional bloggers in
search of a simple way of creating and distributing TV-quality
video while preserving full control and ownership of their content.
That makes it a perfect tool for capturing training sessions, HR
and executive announcements, marketing and corporate events,
lectures, conferences, and performances. With just a Veodia account
and a camera, anyone can start interactive broadcasts and
distribute them live or on-demand over the Internet to thousands of
viewers on computers, Apple TVs, mobile phones, and iPods. A
publishing interface also allows customers to privately manage
their content, publish it on blogs or intranets, and track viewers.
Veodia's SaaS (software- as-a-service) platform for online video
replaces the expensive in-house video publishing solution that
previously required multimillion-dollar budgets, inter-vendor
operability headaches and extensive IT support. "We are very
excited to empower WebEx Connect users with an easy way to create
and distribute high-quality video to multiple playback devices,"
said Guillaume Cohen, CEO and founder of Veodia. "Combined with the
WebEx Connect platform's powerful collaborative features, the WebEx
Connect /Veodia solution is the ideal platform for large-scale,
professional video, whether it is used to broadcast training
sessions, corporate events, or product launches." Veodia's SaaS
Video broadcasting service is one of the many applications users
will be able to access through the WebEx Connect Marketplace of
applications. WebEx Connect will enable users to integrate data
from multiple applications into collaborative workspaces, custom
designed for their particular workflows and business processes.
Unlike traditional transactional applications, WebEx Connect is
designed to improve productivity by enhancing collaboration and
interaction between individuals. By leveraging open Web 2.0
protocols and collaborative WebEx applications programming
interfaces (APIs), WebEx Connect will make it easy to adapt
on-demand, desktop, and enterprise applications to create
composite, "mashup" applications. "Tailored for professional users,
Veodia's solution combines video quality, scalability and security
with a convenient service model and an ease- of-use that removes
the last barriers for massive adoption," said Shankar Iyer, vice
president, WebEx Connect ecosystem. "We're very happy to offer
Veodia's service to our WebEx Connect customers to meet their needs
for high- end video broadcasting." The WebEx Connect Developer
Network provides the tools, training, resources and community that
developers need to build and market applications for WebEx Connect.
Developers can access WebEx Connect documentation, APIs, a
"sandbox" development platform and join the partner program to
access a prototype WebEx Connect client. WebEx Connect partner
marketing services can help developers generate go-to-market
strategies and leads for the applications on the WebEx Connect
Marketplace. To learn more about the WebEx Connect Developer
