Forrester Consulting interviewed decision-makers at multiple enterprise and media organizations with experience using Brightcove. Respondents came from organizations headquartered in the US and EMEA, all with multi-billion dollars of annual revenues. The enterprise interviewees represented industries including automotive manufacturing, technology manufacturing, and media services that primarily use video to sell products and services and train their employees. The media organizations' interviewees represented decision-makers at media organizations already using Brightcove to stream and monetize their content.
Enterprise ROI
The study found that after the investment in Brightcove, the interviewees' organizations gained increased insights, reduction in management and distribution time of content, and most importantly increased digital engagement. Decision-makers who deployed the videos hosted by the Brightcove platform in conjunction with revenue-generating offerings found that their organization could use the analytics Brightcove provided to adapt their content to meet the needs of their different audiences whether employees, customers, or partners. Prior to using Brightcove, enterprises had disjointed video management solutions and workflows and strived for improved analytics, the ability to scale content, and syndicate videos for distribution to any source.
One platform product manager in the technology manufacturing sector cited Brightcove's user experience and easy-to-use interface as considerably better than their previous video providers solution. Their team realized they could globalize videos more quickly with multilingual metadata, whereas before the team needed to manually change titles, thumbnails, and subtitles.

Media ROI
As media organizations search for ways to expand their offerings globally, there is an increased need for superior video quality, faster time to market, and ways to monetize their content. The study found that media customers that use the Brightcove platform can better distribute and monetize live and on-demand video content on multiple platforms more securely and reliably. Prior to using Brightcove, media organizations missed expansion opportunities due to technical complexities like slow transcoding times, failure and downtime during peak demand, and time-consuming quality assurance processes.
With Brightcove's platform, media organizations are able to expand more easily to new markets and devices through faster transcoding of content, more reliable content processing, and improved end-viewer experiences resulting in increased customer lifetime values.
