Veodia Acquires ScreenToaster

Proven Enterprise Video Platform Broadens its Appeal by Adding Screen Recording Service to its Portfolio

San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) June 19, 2009

Veodia™, an agile enterprise video platform that enhances daily communication, today announced that it has acquired ScreenToaster, a free browser-based service designed to capture screen activity along with audio for playback in flash players. Combined with Veodia's high-quality, secure video technology, the company will give users the opportunity to "show and tell" information no matter whether it is on-camera or on-screen.

Through research and customer feedback, Veodia found that companies using its technology to securely capture, upload and deliver high-quality, videos also wanted the ability to record screen activity--in particular to share tutorials, product demos, or document reviews. ScreenToaster's technology complements Veodia's existing capabilities by allowing users to capture and record screen activity directly from the browser, without the need for third-party screen recording software.

"As we spend most of our time in front of our computer screens, it was not surprising to see an overwhelming demand from our customers to capture and share screen activity," said Guillaume Cohen, Founder and CEO of Veodia. "We were very impressed with ScreenToaster's browser-based technology and ease-of-use, and found them to be a perfect fit to meet our customers' needs."

"We are very excited to join Veodia, which has established itself as a leading enterprise video platform. Combining Veodia's sophisticated video capabilities with ScreenToaster's screencasting technology makes a lot of sense in today's digital environment where people demand rich, accurate and authentic information at their fingertips," said Marco Fucci, Founder and CEO of ScreenToaster. "The integration of ScreenToaster adds another dimension to Veodia's high-quality on-demand video broadcasting capabilities, and we're very excited about the prospects."

ScreenToaster was co-founded by entrepreneurs, Marco Fucci and Elie Curetti, in 2008 and has seen a 40% month-to-month average growth in its user base since its launch.

Veodia expects to announce specific service offerings related to the acquisition later this year. To be among the first to learn about them, follow screenjelly on Twitter at http://twitter.com/screenjelly.
