Vidyo Transforms Customer Experience with Embedded Video ConferencingVidyo customers are leveraging embedded interactive video communications as a key competitive advantage. The company has seen rapid adoption of its VidyoWorksTM platform and has announced Vidyo.ioTM, a video platform-as-a-service offering (Video PaaS). Vidyo (News - Alert).io enables developers to quickly, easily and affordably use the company's video chat APIs to embed enterprise-grade, real-time video communications at web scale into applications, business processes and IoT devices. The embedded video market is exploding as developers race to video-enable their apps. In a report* released earlier today IDC (News - Alert), a leading provider of global IT research and advice, estimates that the U.S. Video PaaS market will grow from $44 million in 2016, to $1.7 billion in 2020. "Vidyo has been selected by market leaders in the largest growth areas in our Video PaaS market report, including the only embedded video in the leading electronic health records (EHR) systems, and is poised as a front runner to capitalize on the tremendous growth in this $1.7B market," said Mark Winther, group vice president and consulting partner, Worldwide Telecommunications at IDC. "To broaden the market for its high-quality real-time video communications technology, Vidyo introduced a developer-friendly API cloud platform in early 2016. This makes Vidyo one of the first companies to enable comprehensive enterprise-grade multiparty video via an open API delivery system." "Our customers have seen first-hand the benefits of video-enabling their customer engagement, company collaboration, telemedicine, video banking and UCaaS," said Eran Westman, CEO, Vidyo.

This includes developer tools (sandbox, dashboards, and sample code), proof points (showcase of customer/partner use cases), platform quality (scalability and SLAs), support commitment (response times and escalations), and developer evangelism." Vidyo customers have used the company's rich APIs and SDK to add face-to-face video communications acrossa broad range of applications including:
