iPoint-media, which provides live, interactive video applications and delivery platforms for web, 3G mobile and media, has signed a reseller agreement with Italian systems integrator, Systeam Consulting.
Systeam Consulting will resell iPoint-medias GOliveTV User-generated Content (UGC) moderation and delivery platform in the Italian media and broadcast market. Coinciding with this agreement, Systeam Consulting is working on an initial project with a leading Italian broadcaster.
GOliveTV offers media and broadcast companies an innovative solution for incorporating 3G and web callers in live participation TV broadcasts, allowing the creation and deployment of new interactive TV show formats. The platform also enables the consumption, moderation, storage and playout of live and recorded UGC to other media formats, including web broadcasts and 3G mobile services. The platform is able to receive and process UGC in the form of audio, text and video via e-mail attachments, SMS, MMS and live or recorded 3G video calls. GOliveTV is currently in use with a number of leading broadcasters, including the BBC and MediaCorp in Singapore.
The selection by Systeam Consulting to resell GOliveTV and immediate interest by an Italian broadcaster demonstrates the growing recognition our platform has received as the leading solution for delivering new user-generated content formats in the broadcast arena, says iPoint-media VP Sales & Marketing, Joseph Daniel. We look forward to working closely with Systeam over the coming months to further penetrate the Italian broadcast market.
