“We are building out the video support in ImageVault by using Vidispine on Azure. It was the natural step for us to enable video in our publishing solution for Microsoft SharePoint and EPiServer since our product strategy is built on Azure,” says Johan Magnusson, Product Manager of Meriworks AB.

Vidispine can help ISVs greatly reduce the time it takes to add video to their solutions, like Meriworks is doing with their ImageVault product.

“I am thrilled to see how Microsoft can help innovative software companies like Vidispine reach a true mass market by making it available in the Azure Marketplace,” said Venkat Gattemneni, Group Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft Azure. “It helps our global customer base find smart solutions to complex problems just as much as it helps our partners to focus on what they do best.”

System integrators helping enterprises to video-enable their intranet, collaboration platforms or web presence will benefit by choosing a future-proof and enterprise-grade media repository like Vidispine.

“Vidispine makes it amazingly simple to build combined integrations and standardized software for our most demanding clients. Making it available in the Azure Marketplace only further underlines where our industry is going and what our clients are asking for,” says Chris Collum, President of 1303Systems Inc., in St. Louis, Missouri.
