ShareStream MediaManager

Video Content-Management and Delivery Component of ShareStream

Rich media--video, audio, podcasts, and lecture synchronized with slides---is proliferating across university and college campuses and enterprises at a rapid rate.

To fulfill the rising demand for media services—for instructional technology, library collections, or an educational institution’s public websites—universities and colleges face the challenge of implementing a sustainable and scaleable strategy for media.

ShareStream’s MediaManager—the video content-management and delivery system component of the ShareStream Rich Media Platform—allows educational institutions and enterprises to leverage the full power of rich media to educate and communicate, while reducing costs associated with storing, creating, managing, and securely delivering rich media assets.
