NEWS ALERT
January 23, 2007
Seattle – Online
Video Service, Inc. (OVS), the
recognized leader in Internet
broadcasting for public affairs,
revealed today that it has been named
among the top companies in the
webcasting industry by Forrester
Research, a leading technology and
market research company.
Forrester’s report, “Webcasting Grabs
Corporate Attention,” authored by Senior
Analyst Claire Schooley, provides an
overview of key webcasting industry
players and the services they provide in
North America, Europe and the Asia
Pacific region.
“We are pleased to see Forrester’s
coverage of the webcasting industry,
particularly its attention to the
growing needs for remotely managed
solutions” observed OVS Chairman and CEO
Tim Treanor. “The unique platform OVS
has developed sets us apart from other
industry leaders. We take pride in
knowing we can meet the world-class
demands of top .gov, .org and .edu
clients by webcasting their content
reliably and at the highest level of
quality.”
Forrester interviewed 13 companies for
the report: Accordent Technologies,
Adobe Systems, Avacast, Interactive
Video Technologies (IVT), Media
Publisher, ON24, Online Video Service,
Reflect Systems, Sonic Foundry,
Streamlogics, TalkPoint Communications,
Vcall, and Vodium.
OVS has distinguished itself from
competitors by offering remotely managed
webcasting, a proprietary Internet
broadcasting platform that the company
developed with the help of leading
experts in government webcasting. Most
competitors typically either send a
webcast team to a client’s event venue
or broadcast audio from a conference
call on the Internet – services which
OVS also provides.
