Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen asked a question on our Defining OVPs panel last month at Online Video Platform Summit that drew an interesting response from the crowd.
The question was related to whether or not YouTube was a viable solution for business and if people were building their own solutions versus using OVPs. My natural response was, “we’re at OV-P-Summit, not OV-DIY-Summit!” But when Ron Yekutiel of Kaltura wisely asked the crowd who was using YouTube, 6 hands went up. When he asked how many were using OVPs, 8 hands went up. And when he asked how many were using home brewed solutions 12 hands went up into the air. That’s roughly 15% of the audience attending the “Defining OVPs” panel who had developed their own solution for uploading, encoding, storing, and playing back their online video content.
Very interesting indeed.
So I’m curious, before I put a poll on the site. How many businesses out there have gone the OVDIY route? Not sure I have the readership yet to request input via the comments but, if you’re so inclined, let me know either in this post or via email at kdrey at vidcompare.com
Peace.
