Polopoly and Bambuser to Add Real-Time Video Reporting to Web Publishing Solution

Web Content Management vendor Polopoly, an Atex business, and live video innovators Bambuser have entered into a partnership to provide customers with a fully integrated offering. The cooperation will allow web enterprises full use of the groundbreaking live mobile broadcasting technology within the framework of the industry standard publishing system from Polopoly.

The Polopoly Content Management suite is the favourite platform for major web ventures, containing a range of cutting-edge functionality. Polopoly enables high-performance personalized services, such as local weather and search services, quick polls and user ratings of articles. Adding Bambuser extends Polopoly’s advanced community module, where user-generated content can be managed in co-ordination with other content. Polopoly is entirely based on open standards to ensure platform independence and to simplify legacy systems integration.

The core idea of Bambuser technology is to provide companies and individuals with the opportunity to communicate audiovisual broadcast live using mobile phones or web-camera as the broadcasting device. Bambuser technology allows you to communicate whatever to whomever whenever you want --live and mobile, no cables necessary.

The integration will provide a ready-made Bambuser element within the web-based Polopoly user interface, containing all the high-end publishing features required by the leading online services. Flexible meta-tagging, automatic content re-formatting and fully searchable media archives are all components that will allow clients to include live video reporting with retained stability and control.

The integration will be showcased by Atex for the international media market at the upcoming Ifra Expo in Amsterdam, October 28-30, stand 11500. A beta version of the final product will also be available for sneak preview at the Web 2.0 Expo in Berlin, October 21-23, 2008.
