Los Angeles, CA - December 6, 2006, IVT, the leader in the production, management and distribution of live and on-demand webcasting, today announced that IVT MediaPlatform has been successfully implemented by Cantos, the UK’s premier online financial broadcaster. Cantos chose IVT for its scalability and reliability, which enables it to deliver and archive live and on-demand investor video webcasts for its corporate and financial clients.
One of the UK’s leading providers of web-based video content, Cantos’ ‘free to access’ portal reaches users across 170 countries including 2,000 financial institutions. The company delivers in-depth executive video interviews, audio and video webcasts of earnings announcements, investor and financial analyst briefings, and podcasts and vodcasts on behalf of its corporate clients, who are typically FTSE 100, 250, Eurotop and small cap companies. In order to meet stringent stock market deadlines, it was imperative that the webcast solution chosen by Cantos provided a proven level of reliability and flexibility for its clients twenty-four hours a day, as well as provide unparalleled scalability as content volume continues to grow.
“We chose IVT MediaPlatform because the technology offered both the scale and reliability that we needed to successfully create and distribute state-of-the-art webcasts for our corporate clients, especially those in financial services,” said Goran Wallin, Head of Webcasting, Cantos. “Webcasting is now a core part of best-practice for financial communications providing companies with consistent communications and improved interactivity with their key stakeholder audiences worldwide. It is therefore important that we provide a flexible template on a robust system which can develop and grow with our clients needs.”
