Accordent News & Articles

Although the recent acquisition of Accordent (news, site) by Polycom is not throwing up the kinds of figures we have become used to in deals such as Oracle and Sun, Xerox and ACS or IBM and OpenLogix, the price tag of US$ 50 million still gets Polycom some potentially serious firepower.

Accordent Technologies, a provider of enterprise-wide rich media communications solutions, has been selected by the editorial staff of Streaming Media Magazine as one of ten stand-out products of the streaming media industry in 2007.

Accordent Technologies has released an expanded version of its Accordent Media Management System to include support for TANDBERG video conferencing systems and Flash presentations.

Media Management System is a centralized CMS framework for managing multimedia assets like streaming video and audio, video presentations, lectures, and webcasts.

Features are roughly what you would expect from traditional Enterprise CMS products - content management portal, user authentication and tracking, workflow functionality and so forth, except for two key differences.

The first is, obviously enough, that this CMS is specifically designed for managing multimedia.
