"We chose to partner with Front Porch because they are the leading provider of
archive management solutions worldwide," said Mark Cronin, Technology and
Development Director of Inmedia. "The technology behind deploying a digital
video archive can be complex, but Front Porch's DIVArchive solution provides
everything to meet our requirements for proven functionality and scalability.
With the Front Porch team's expertise and experience behind us we can be
confident that our archive implementation will be smooth, leaving us to
concentrate on managing the operational side of our business."
"Inmedia's selection of DIVArchive reaffirms Front Porch Digital as the
preferred choice for deploying a content repository to service media companies
with the most demanding requirements," said Rino Petricola, managing director
and vice president, Front Porch Digital International. "DIVArchive has already
been successfully deployed at many broadcast services providers and because of
the variety of installations and operations it supports, has demonstrated its
capabilities to meet mission-critical standards for interoperability,
scalability, functionality, robustness, reliability and performance. We are very
pleased that Inmedia recognizes this and moving forward, we will support Inmedia
to make sure they get the level of functionality they expect to service their
