PlayerLync Launches Enterprise Video and Document Delivery Platform for Tablet CollaborationDENVER --(Business Wire)-- PlayerLync announced today the launch of the first tablet-based automatic video and document content delivery, control and collaboration platform for enterprise workgroups. The new PlayerLync Enterprise Edition eliminates countless hours wasted waiting for video streaming and download by automatically delivering content to sleeping tablets for instant native offline access. The PlayerLync platform was originally developed for professional sports teams to rapidly share and collaborate on complex playbooks and high-quality game video without the need for an ongoing Internet connection. PlayerLync Enterprise Edition is now available to support teams in training, operations and corporate communications across a variety of industries including restaurant, retail, construction, financial services, media and entertainment, healthcare and anywhere video and other content needs to be shared across widespread workforces for collaboration. "One of the challenges businesses face with enterprise collaboration is ensuring that team members have the latest information," said Michael Moon, Research Director of Aberdeen (News - Alert) Group. "The market is ready for a collaboration technology that automates distribution of materials and video content to make sure corporate teams have the most current materials for training, communications and other collaborative needs." A New Way to Time Shift Collaboration PlayerLync Enterprise Edition is a new approach to collaboration that eliminates the need for real-time streaming and high-speed connections. "Video excels as a medium for capturing existing business communications and making it more widely accessible throughout an organization," said Steve Vonder Haar, senior analyst, enterprise webcasting & streaming for Wainhouse (News - Alert) Research. "But video can do more in the enterprise. Technology platforms that make it possible to overlay or annotate on-demand video content open the door to weaving video more extensively into day-to-day business activities." PlayerLync Enterprise offers features such as:
Starz, Chipotle Mexican Grill and other early adopters have customized PlayerLync for their unique business needs and are already testifying to its unique value: "The things that used to take us 20, 30, 40 hours now maybe take us two or three or four minutes," said Neal Massey, Vice President Business and Consumer Insights of Starz. "We can deploy those savings to other needs, whether to other projects or just other use of our manpower." "The ability of PlayerLync to take our very large videos and eLearning files and compress them gives us the ability for true on-demand training that's beautiful and looks amazing and modern," said Sam Worobec, Training Manager, New Brands/International, at Chipotle Mexican Grill. "Using PlayerLync means no more huge three-ring binders; no hunkering in the back office to watch and wait for streaming videos for employee training. We can get all 45,000 employees across the globe up to speed and on the job faster with higher quality results in a more engaging manner. And that translates not only to better employees but happier customers." (To hear Worobec's thoughts on how PlayerLync benefits Chipotle, see the video testimonial on the PlayerLync website.) "Speed counts on the football field and in business," said PlayerLync CEO Bob Paulsen. "In today's competitive environment, enterprise can't waste time while important video or other content is caught in the buffer zone. PlayerLync frees business from being tethered to broadband. We now provide enterprises the chance to win using the same technology that professional sports teams use to deliver and collaborate on video and documents anywhere."
