We can all agree that the “people and process” elements of high-performing streaming video organizations are as important as the technology we use. Yet, too many video operations teams are bogged down by complexity, siloed data and poor collaboration.
To address these issues, we created the open VidOps framework to help you work smarter and thrive in today’s dynamic video market. In addition to our complete Zype video infrastructure platform, we have stepped back, organized our learnings from customer insights, and developed new thinking and approaches to connect teams, tools and workflows.
Here’s how you can get started with VidOps.
