All communication - from traditional media to social networks and personal sites are all about video. As an industry, the challenge of delivering that video content must be built into the very equation of company survival. Whether your company webcasts content - live or archived, provides users upload or even interactive options, building, developing and maintaining video capabilities is at the top of your daily activities. Video is not an optional offering, it is at the heart of every organization's future. Marc Scarpa, CEO, SimplyNew Frank H.
