Alliance Powers New One-Stop Solution to Get Content onto Netflix, Amazon, iTunes, YouTube and Other Platforms Easily, Meeting All Regional Requirements.

ODMedia Signs up for Ooyala Flex Media Platform to Streamline Operations.

Amsterdam and San Jose, California - September 13, 2018 - Ooyala has collaborated with the ODMedia Group on a new strategic partnership, integrating ODMedia's video localization and delivery capabilities with Ooyala's video production, management, distribution and monetization services.

The strategic partnership is a major step in helping content owners reach global audiences and markets realizing new revenues more quickly. The combination of Ooyala's Flex Media Platform and ODMedia Group's established position as preferred delivery partner with most global platforms, including the likes of Netflix, Google Play, iTunes and YouTube, will enable broadcasters and content owners to deliver content to any platform, any time, in any format, cost effectively.

In addition, the partnership will address scale and complexity in producing different local versions of content by streamlining the processes for content companies seeking to deliver local experiences across traditional and new media platforms.

Increasingly, content owners and distributors are targeting global audiences, but there are significant costs involved in ensuring the right format requirements are met, said Jonathan Huberman, CEO, Ooyala. Through this new partnership, we're able to provide a best-of-breed solution for delivering content to today's top platforms, everywhere in the world. This means getting content to market faster, and at a lower cost - unlocking opportunities for content owners in every region.

The Ooyala Flex Media Platform, the world's fastest growing media asset management and workflow automation solution being used by the world's most innovative content owners to simplify millions of video workflows, will help ODMedia automate and better manage internal media workflow tasks that are multiplying along with ODMedia's rapid growth.
