We’ve talked a lot here about how video in the enterprise is changing. We saw these changes coming pretty early and our video.Market7 aims to address many related trends that are becoming more mainstream today. Marji McClure over at Econtent Magazine just wrote a great piece about how desktop video applications are being leveraged in the enterprise to streamline handling of video and introduce much-needed process efficiencies that businesses rely on heavily today.
Part of the article takes a look at how our long time partner SolarCity is utilizing video.Market7 throughout the company for video that is more easily managed, better leveraged throughout the company and ultimately, more impactful. Our own Seth Kenvin also weighs in on exactly the embedded product functionality that customers are finding most useful.
The issue is in print only, but you can check out a PDF of the desktop video article here.
What better way to use post number 200 than to write up some recent coverage?
DiscoveringStartups.com reviews new companies every day and has just posted a write-up on Market7. They cover what we do, why we’re different, how we plan to make money and why we could be BIG. There’s also a little voting mechanism on the site that you can use to help propel us toward becoming their start-up of the month! So head over there now to get reading and voting.
And if you’re new to Market7, come back and kick the tires on our video.Market7 online video production management software to see for yourself why we could be BIG.
Every Monday, we have a Market7 ritual. We all gather either in person or over the phone, sometimes throw down a tune or two to set the mood, talk about the upcoming week, review the current development state of our software and almost always engage in some good-natured teasing of one another.
Here’s a little taste of a typical Monday morning.
Back in October, Tim Siglin of StreamingMedia and Braintrust Digital came out to our engineering offices in San Francisco to learn more about video.Market7 in preparation for an upcoming review. When he left to spend some time trying out the service on his own, he did more than just kick the tires – he took us apart and put us back together again! We should have expected no less after the meticulous in-person meeting.
We are pleased that this discriminating shopper seems to have overall liked what he saw. Like many video producers who try video.Market7, Tim seemed especially taken with the annotative player, which he notes, “might be the best thing to come along [last] year.”
A huge thanks to Tim and also to Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen over at StreamingMedia for taking the time to check us out. Check out the review online and in the Dec/Jan issue.
We’ve peppered a bunch improvements throughout the application, but by far the most substantial effort of our programming during the holidays has been construction of our cross-project dashboard:
This module was conceptualized in direct response to our emerging band of heavy users who’ve clamored for broader, integrated perspective to survey status, assess requirements, and take implied actions across ALL of their projects.
This is the second serial “New Release” blog post. These will appear every few weeks, when we put new code on video.Market7 instead of the emails with such information we used to send to all of our registered users. So keep an eye on www.market7.com/blog for that information, stay current subscribing to the blog by RSS or Feedburner both accessible on the right margin of this page just below the tag cloud, and screen posts on the New Release tag to catch up on all of these.
