We believe that the best advert for us is for you to see how we work to meet ours clients' needs.

We've picked a few of our recent projects and demonstrated how we responded the challenges, how the Vyoo platform evolved as a result and what that means for you.

Kemps (www.kftv.com) is an online search engine for international production services. Whether users are looking for Post Production houses in Finland, Underwater Cameramen in Ukraine or simply a set designer from London, it’s the place to go.

Kemps’ owners Reed Business International were looking for a way to integrate video on to the kftv site. However, not content to simply become a handling house for their subscribers’ videos, they wanted to offer users a self-service portal to upload, encode and then manage their own repositories of files and then have these played back in the appropriate result pages of the Kemps’ site.

Using a customised version of Vyoo Kemps now has an own-branded upload and management module using our transcoding and streaming facilities. Furthermore, a branded player embedded in their site can be easily controlled within the scripting environment to play multiple files within a subscriber’s profile page.

Users can upload new content as and when it is ready, remove old content, generate thumbnails and edit all important keywords and information attached to each file.

For the back office at RBI it’s as easy as logging in and creating a new user with upload privileges. Details of how to login and upload are emailed to the end user.

However, RBI wanted something more for Kemps – a system which would feed into their existing taxonomy. We worked to import data for all taxonomy categories and clients into our system and develop an online interface where clients and files can be attached to particular categories.
Once a client is associated with one (or multiple) categories, each file they upload is automatically added to any category to which the client belongs.

This means that a Search results page on Kemps will now include links to video, whether that’s a link to that particular subscriber’s files, other files within that category or associated categories.

The incentive is there for clients to sign-up and get their video online improving the experience for RBI, their subscribers and users of the site. As the service has become more popular with subscribers to the site we’ve adapted the system to make creating and managing users a simpler process for RBI’s back office staff.

We’ve developed a simple one click system to generate a secure link to the upload and management interface. This URL is then emailed to the user who no longer needs to log in. The advantage is a significant improvement in workflow and user friendliness.
