It's Official -- Sorenson 360 Now Features Secure Vid Review & Customizable Player Options

Two months ago, my company, Sorenson Media, launched our new "Sorenson 360" solution -- what we call our video delivery network (or VDN), because it re-imagines what a video publishing platform should be. The reception for this new differentiated service was uniformly positive (if not downright effusive).

Today, and due to heavy demand both from existing Sorenson Squeeze users and new users alike, we are officially introducing secure password protected workflow/video and customizable player options. Our one-of-a-kind browser-based client-side encoding -- simple drag and drop video with the full client-side power and quality of Squeeze -- also has been enhanced and is now significantly faster. Bottom line -- our customers spoke, so we listened. Click here to read the full press release that goes into more of the details.

So, why is Sorenson Media playing in this evermore-crowded video publishing platform space? For a number of critical differentiating reasons -- summarized simply, we are uniquely situated:

(1) only Sorenson 360 places quality first and foremost -- we uniquely bring the power of client-side encoding (all other services use server-side encoding), achieved through the world renown Squeeze encoding engine;

(2) we are uniquely focused on meeting the needs of video professionals and small-to-medium businesses (SMBs), a customer base we know well because we already have been meeting their needs for years with Squeeze -- in other words, we are not trying to be everything to everyone;

(3) we already have an existing massive customer base of Squeeze users who are hungry for us to provide a full end-to-end workflow solution -- they needed a one-stop quality shop, and they know they can get that from us because they have for years; so, unlike others, we don't need to start from "Customer Zero";

(4) we have been a pioneer in the online video world for 14 years -- we have been here, and we will be here; we have a long history of profitability, and our balance sheet is strong (no need to raise money). How many others in our space can say that?
