SAN FRANCISCO – To help companies adapt to the challenges posed by video, social media, and mobile use, Qumu announced a technology breakthrough that enables video content to be centrally managed while enabling video to be embedded in virtually any business application, portal or mobile app.

The Qumu Video Platform released Tuesday includes both the Video Control Center 6.0 and its sister product VideoNet 2.0. The Qumu Video Platform enables the enterprise to manage, organize and securely distribute live and on-demand video to each desktop and every mobile viewer, such as iPads, iPhones and Android devices.

?Qumu knows the future of business depends on video being consumed anytime, anywhere,? said Ray Hood, CEO of Qumu. ?While the results of our survey may seem amusing, we at Qumu don?t condone that behavior and we give Enterprises the tools to manage the workforce. Not only can the Enterprise determine what videos employees can watch at work, they can also monitor when vital content like training material and company addresses have been watched. That way, the Enterprise can ensure everyone is on the same page.?

To thank the people who ensure video in major companies run dependably and smoothly, Qumu is debuting today a video homage to the IT and system administrators. Award-winning video game art director and filmmaker Jerry O’Flaherty imaginatively casts the enterprise as a metaphorical spaceship whose very survival from imminent destruction depends on the quick-thinking of its IT administrator.

Qumu is the control center for all things video. We empower organizations to better engage and inspire employees, improve productivity, and reduce costs.
