Online TV Service for SuomiTV Completed in Record Time
Helsinki, Finland, April 10, 2010 --(PR.com)-- A leading Finnish software house Soprano Brain Alliance has delivered an online TV service for SuomiTV, a Finnish national TV channel. The online service was developed, implemented and launched in the timeframe of one month. The technical implementation was done in cooperation with the highly acclaimed U.S.-based online video platform developer Brightcove. The service concept and design were provided by top Finnish interactive design consultancy Nordkapp.
"A couple of months ago I could not even have dreamt about launching online services for a national TV Channel with a schedule like this. None of this would have been possible without the outstanding work and full-on commitment by Soprano Brain Alliance and Brightcove, and of course without the excellent concept design by our partner Nordkapp", says Mikael Alatalo, Online Manager at SuomiTV.
"This project is a testimony of the all-around commitment and the agility between us and our partners. As a result, we can now offer high quality online TV to our audience. This is how things get done", states Jarmo Kalliola, CEO of SuomiTV.
"SuomiTV is a tangible example of how the technology of today enables us to deliver extremely swift and highly qualified customer service. The wheel has already been invented, now it is a question of innovating new customer-oriented solutions", says Jukka Hassinen, CEO at Soprano Brain Alliance. Hassinen is highly pleased with the fact that the unfavorable image that Finland has as a land of a slowing online business development is beginning to be thing of the past. "SuomiTV's online TV is created by the best web programmers in Finland, our staff. Without them this project would have been impossible. As a company we feel privileged to be a part of improving our national image and we will keep on leading the way with passion."
The Brightcove platform enables organizations to publish, distribute and monetize video on the Web. Brightcove works with more than 1,300 organizations worldwide to power their online video initiatives. The organization has offices across North America, Europe and Asia.
"We are proud to be the online video platform behind SuomiTV’s range of high quality, family-oriented video programming," says Vanessa Wade, senior vice president of sales for EMEA at Brightcove. “The rapid online integration of SuomiTV is a testament to the expertise and agility of Soprano Brain Alliance, as well as the breadth of features in the Brightcove platform.”
SuomiTV is built on the open source platform Drupal.
