Enterprise video has been a major game-changer for business communications. In fact, a recent IMS Enterprise Web Communications Survey found that one-third of all corporations use video at least once a week, and 64 percent plan to significantly bump up their use of video within a year.

With so many companies turning to online video to collaborate and share knowledge, enterprise video providers have to constantly innovate to keep up with shifting technological demands. That’s why Kaltura, an open source video platform provider, has unveiled changes that will help companies more easily manage their corporate videos.

The online video startup, founded in 2006, today announced its platform will integrate with Cisco’s WebEx, an on-demand web conferencing software, online meeting software, and desktop video conferencing platform. Kaltura hopes the move will make it easier for WebEx users to more easily manage, publish, search, and distribute their WebEx recordings on Kaltura’s platform.

The new integration means Kaltura’s video management and publishing tools can be used to enhance WebEx recordings of any kind. WebEx users can take advantage of Kaltura’s features, including delivery across multiple devices, commenting, social media sharing, analytics, and advanced search options.

Kaltura’s integration with a major hd video conferencing platform comes after a year of explosive growth. In 2012, the company grew from having 120,000 websites, companies, educational institutions, media companies, and tech platforms using its software to more than 300,000 by the end of the year. The company’s open source community has grown significantly, as well.

The integration with WebEx means companies can create more “unified flows from creation to consumption,” says Ron Yekutiel, Kaltura’s chairman and CEO. The integration means organizations can archive their WebEx recording in Kaltura’s platform, embed WebEx content on any website, publish recordings, manage and search WebEx videos, enable user-restricted channels, and tap into analytics to improve video performance.

In a world where 56 percent of consumer Web traffic is now video, enterprises and other institutions need immersive technologies if they want to keep up. As video trends fuel communication changes in companies across the globe, an announcement like Kaltura’s offers a timely and necessary move toward enhanced productivity in the enterprise.
