I
f there is one major technology that has changed
the way organizations use critical business systems
and edge out unprecedented IT expenses, then it
undoubtedly has to be the Cloud. While turning to
the Cloud infrastructure for new solutions, businesses
are not leaving any opportunity to access the immediate
benefits of Cloud adoption. Because it brings agility,
robust service delivery models and enhanced
customer support, companies’ special focus on Cloud
implementation strategies across key functional areas
is maturing faster with every improvement. It is widely
believed that the potential of Cloud technology is set to
define the next wave of innovation for IT organizations. A
recent IDC’s worldwide CloudView Survey revealed that
nearly 60 percent of organizations are currently using or
planning to implement some form of cloud. Hence, it gets
more interesting when we picture the emerging markets
of the Asia-Pacific region in that scenario and discover
how it is responding to this growing importance of Cloud.
Across the region, the adoption of Cloud has clearly
increased with many organizations developing their own

Cloud initiatives and best practices to capture a global
customer base. However, the future Cloud investments
will not solely depend on the internal IT capabilities of
these companies. The ability to operate in latest Cloud
techniques such as Virtualization and Private Cloud is
expected to play an even more significant role. A ‘Cloud
first approach’ to better engage customers also needs
to be a key focus area for cloud service providers and
partners. With its economy showing impressive growth,
the Asia-Pacific region is without doubt the next big
destination that could favor the expansion of Cloud.

hen it comes to business messaging, non-verbal communication is as important as what
is said verbally. Understandably, expressions and body language play a vital role in business communication that
can’t be gleaned in text format. Video
streaming, on the other hand, allows
people to understand messages better,
making it easier to work in sync than
when working with someone they only
occasionally hear. Greg Miner, CEO,
Viocorp, explains, “We recognized that
the allure of video streaming is game
changing and as it becomes ubiquitous,
the demands for enterprise class video
streaming solutions will grow exponentially.” Viocorp was founded to fulfill
this growing demand and help organizations unlock the power of video streaming.

Flexible ingest, storage and distribution
capability of these applications facilitate

core capability lies in integrating its

enterprise video platform with client’s
intranet, corporate directory, learning
management system and infrastructure
network. Such tight integration delivers
maximum ROI for clients. Product
development and service capabilities
of the company are always aligned to
optimize the adoption and uptake by
corporate as well as government bodies.
The evolving cloud technology
has further expanded the horizon of
video streaming. Cloud allows for
easy management and secure storage
of video content. In order to assist
customers in managing their growing
interactive contents, integration with
enterprise applications and yielding
intelligent analytics, Viocorp has
developed an innovative cloud video
platform—Viostream. The platform
is designed to not only video-enable
existing enterprise applications such
as intranets and learning management
systems, but also to provide security,
reliability and scalability demanded
by the new age enterprises. Today,
Viostream has largely replaced text
and images engagement in digital
communication channels for many
such enterprises.
Early on, Viocorp realized that
with rapid growth of enterprise
mobility, online video streaming
would become pervasive across
innovative organizations. Founded in
2002, Viocorp uses industry standard
video streaming technologies. Its
services team has so far delivered
mission-critical
messaging
and
communication platforms for several
organizations including Amazon Web
Services, Dimension Data, Singtel,
Optus, NAB, Suncorp, ATO and
Adobe among others. Greg adds, “We
are constantly being challenged by our
clients with complex and innovative
ambitions, which remains one of the
most exciting aspects of our business.”
Viocorp
has
witnessed
a
phenomenal growth trajectory in
the APAC region for the last two
years; so much so that Deloitte has
listed Viocorp in its list of ‘Fast 50’
companies. In the years to come,
Viocorp plans to invest heavily in
expanding its core product capabilities,
most of which will be centered on
integration, interaction and contextual
relevance. The company plans to
launch new integration capabilities
with a growing suite of enterprise
applications, enhance video tools and
roll out an innovative way to distribute
video at a larger scale on corporate
networks. “We’re taking the steps
needed to scale the growth we have
had so far on a truly global basis in
2016,” concludes Greg.
