Telestream


advocates provideo standards


“We are seeing a revolution in business communication around the globe, where digital video – on public websites, pri- vate sites, or social media – is now the de-facto business tool for reaching customers, staff, and stakeholders. The ability to easily produce, distribute and socialise video is a key differ- entiator between companies and organizations which are successfully engaging their au- diences and those that aren’t,” says Scott Puopolo, CEO of Te- lestream. Puopolo spoke at the an- nouncement that Telestream (stand 15-G200), a global leader in digital video orches- tration, streaming and delivery will make its first appearance as an exhibitor at ISE 2018. There, the company will show- case end-to-end solutions for video production, preparation, packaging and distribution. Exhibiting at ISE 2018 is part


of Telestream’s strategy to bring its digital video capabilities to businesses seeking a position at the forefront of video stream- ing and publishing such as cor- porate, education and leisure. With customer applications dating back over 12 years and an installed customer base ex- ceeding 40,000 active users, the company is one of the video industry’s most tried and trust- ed vendors for video streaming solutions.


New tools for live streaming and VOD best practices will be a key focus for ISE 2018 as co- hesive video strategies become essential for anyone creating or delivering content within B2B and B2C environments.
