Radio: James Brickmeier on Concurrent's New Multi-Screen Product Strategy

Concurrent, a company best known for its VOD solutions, recently announced a new, multiplatform product strategy, which it says will see it delivering "end-to-end multi-screen video software solutions"--i.e. video solutions for PC's and mobile devices, as well as televisions. In
this recorded episode of [itvt]'s talk radio show, "The TV of Tomorrow Show with Tracy Swedlow," James Brickmeier, Concurrent's VP and general manager of converged video solutions, provides an in-depth overview of the new product strategy. Topics discussed include the thinking behind the strategy; how it will see Concurrent developing an open platform that will allow, for example, the integration of third-party social TV services such as Facebook and Twitter; the role analytics and metrics will play in the new strategy; and more.
