"Brightcove continued to maintain market leadership in the fragmented OVP market, focusing product, marketing and R&D into their core platform while also leveraging their early mover advantage to drive business in parts of Asia Pacific and the Middle East," said Anisha Vinny, Senior Industry Analyst. "Ingestion, transcoding, metadata management, playback, analytics and monetization are all part of Brightcove's core feature set. The company offers these capabilities both as part of the Video Cloud platform and as stand-alone solutions. The company also places a key focus on building a vibrant third-party ecosystem, helping Brightcove to easily integrate partner solutions with customers legacy systems. Additionally, Brightcove continued to push the envelope with its launch of Context Aware Encoding and interactive video capabilities."
Brightcove has cultivated a rich third-party partner ecosystem, with close to 175 partners that endow it with the flexibility to integrate into a host of software and solutions used by enterprises and media companies. For instance, its cloud-centric Dynamic Ingest employs a combination of Zencoder, Amazon S3, and other technologies to transcode and store video assets. The company also enables customers to provide personalized content recommendations and an improved viewing experience by partnering with companies such as Outbrain, Taboola, Recosense, and IRIS.TV.
The Brightcove brand is reputed and recognized around the world among media companies, publishers, marketers, and other content owners. It has gradually expanded its geographic footprint and has employees in the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East, serving 4,168 customers across 70 countries to deliver more than 3.7 billion video streams per month. Brightcove's clientele includes illustrious brands such as Forbes Media, General Motors, Sony Pictures India, Condé Nast, and HUGO BOSS.
"Brightcove constantly builds on its flagship Video Cloud product, launching new features and functionality that enhance the customer experience," noted Vinny. "As 360 and interactive video are becoming increasingly important to media companies and publishers, Brightcove has been adding support for uploading and publishing panoramic 360-degree videos in the Video Cloud, extending it to native player software development kits (SDKs) for iOS and Android."
