Qumu’s Content Management and Security
Capabilities Key to Competitive Win
Qumu Corporation (Nasdaq: QUMU), the leading provider of
cloud-based enterprise video technology, announced today that Sika
Group, a Swiss-based global specialty chemicals company, has chosen
Qumu’s Video Engagement Platform for its enterprise-wide video
distribution, storage and content management needs.
Creating a “Single Source of Truth”
Sika needed to migrate more than 5,000 videos residing on a
legacy platform to a new software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider. It
sought an enterprise video solution that could fulfill strict
requirements for security, content management, on-demand delivery,
archival storage and distribution in multiple languages across its
global operations.
“We were looking to create a single source of truth for our
enterprise video content so that our employees, customers and
partners will be certain they have the most up to date product data
and how-to-use information,” said Mark Capell, IT project manager
for Sika Group. “Qumu offered a platform that provided the most
logical migration path from our legacy systems, along with more
functionality, better performance, robust security and the ability
to streamline the translation of content into multiple languages
for our employees and customers around the globe,” added
Capell.
Meeting Complex Security, Storage, Distribution and
Translation Requirements
Sika Group manufactures specialty chemicals used for bonding,
sealing, damping, reinforcing and protecting in the building and
motor vehicle industries. The company runs 300 factories globally,
with subsidiaries in more than 100 countries.
“Sika Group’s global operations entail complex requirements for
managing access to video content, as well as distributing,
translating and storing that content,” said Rose Bentley, Qumu’s
president and chief executive officer. “Through the Qumu Video
Engagement Platform, we are providing Sika with the ability to
create ‘folders’ of videos that align with regional, department and
business unit needs while automating retention and archiving
policies to ensure compliance with local and regional regulations,
and layering on security to protect Sika’s intellectual property.
In addition, because the Qumu Video Engagement Platform is
integrated with CaptionHub’s automated subtitling capabilities, our
solution ends the need to hard-code captions, saving both time and
money when distributing videos in multiple languages,” Bentley
added.
The Qumu platform will help Sika manage video content spanning
multiple categories and will be distributed both internally and
externally. Product data and “how to” information are some examples
of content Sika must manage to ensure all information is current.
These videos must also be archived to comply with legal and
regulatory requirements for Sika’s specialty chemical products.
Sika also uses videos for internal communications, including
content that is proprietary and confidential. As a result, it must
be protected from unauthorized views or distribution. “The security
provided by our solution proved to be critically important for
Sika,” Bentley said.
“We are thrilled to add Sika to our growing roster of blue chip
enterprise customers,” Bentley added. “Once again, the Qumu team
rallied around the customer’s requirements to win a competitive bid
with a superior solution.”
