From @zbutcher: This is an excellent summation of the Online Video Platform/Provider (OVP) landscape by Larry Kless of http://klessblog.blogspot.com Congrats on a really well researched and thorough post pal. I'm sure many will appreciate you taking the time to put this great overview together. Thanks for mentioning my lil' topic here on Scoopit and agree, "We'll see... if the (OVP) numbers play out." - Joe B. 

 

Excerpt:

 

"The Online video platform (OVP) market has matured over the last few years distinguishing itself from the free solutions by providing value added features, functionality and control. OVPs have made it easier for customers to buy their hosted video solutions vs. building it themselves. This infographic by Devious Media made the rounds over a month ago, compares four of the top video management companies in the online video platform (OVP) category, Brightcove, Kaltura, Ooyala and Longtail Video. While this is a just small sampling of the market and only scratches the surface of each platform's capabilities, it's important to know what to look for when choosing an OVP and what's available from each platform."
