CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Brightcove Inc., the leading online
video platform, today announced it was recognized as a leader by Forrester
Research, Inc. in its report, The Forrester Wave(TM): U.S. Online Video
Platforms, Q4 2009, which was published today. Brightcove was among the select
companies that Forrester invited to participate in its Wave report, and the
company received top scores across all of the major evaluation categories.
According to the report, "Brightcove's offering is the most comprehensive
video platform in this Forrester Wave evaluation; it consistently scores high
marks with few, if any, gaps. The company's customer base, video scale, and
internal resources are unrivaled in the market today. Brightcove's significant
resources and road map position the company to stay ahead in the video
platform race."
"Brightcove is honored to be recognized by Forrester as a leading online video
platform," said Jeremy Allaire, Brightcove chairman and chief executive
officer. "This is an exciting time for the online video industry, as video is
becoming as pervasive as text on the Web and nearly every professional website
is looking to publish video. We see an enormous global opportunity to
establish Brightcove as the dominant platform for professional video
publishing on the Web, and we believe this recognition from Forrester further
validates our leadership position in the market."
Forrester evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of six U.S. online video
platform vendors against 37 criteria in three major categories - current
offering, strategy and market presence. Platforms were evaluated against
several features, including media management, user-generated video, player
capabilities, publishing capabilities, distribution capabilities, monetization
capabilities, reporting capabilities, internationalization, integration,
scalability, and service offerings. Strategy was measured against the vendor's
ability to envision the future needs of the marketplace, the road map required
to meet these needs, partner relationships and executive team experience.
Customer base and financial strength were measured to determine market
presence.
