The New York-based purveyor of online and mobile platforms for broadcasters, WorldNow, has signed an agreement with Razuna to embed the Razuna Digital Asset Management technology into the WorldNow platform.
WorldNow is enhancing their technology to be more Digital Asset Management focused and decided on Razuna to handle the digital asset management processes and functions inside the WorldNow platform.
We were looking for a technology, which could be embedded deep into the WorldNow platform, says Joe Sticca, WorldNow SVP Digital Product Management and Development. Razuna has an intuitive user interface and proven track record of handling large scale digital assets. Our technology is very nimble and flexible, allowing us to innovate quickly. Razuna is a very good match in our flexible modular approach for integration.
Using the Razuna customization engine, Razuna will seamlessly integrate into WorldNows user interface making it a completely transparent experience for the users.
Razuna has been built with the user in mind, says Razuna CEO Jens Strandbygaard. Our users need to be able find their assets quickly, manage them and share them with dealers, on their website or website or for print publications. We have 50,000 downloads a year and more than 2,000 paying users of our cloud service. We are therefore committed to flexibility and ease of use. Our Digital Asset Management service has got to be something you sign up for easily and can start using immediately.
Razuna features an API, allowing it to be integrated or embedded into other CMS or webshop technologies. As all assets managed via Razuna can be stored on the platform directly or via a third party cloud storage provider or Content Distribution Network such as Nirvanix, Amazon S3 or Akamai, Razuna has proven to be a preferred choice for customers looking for the added flexibility and accessibility that a cloud or CDNs storage provides without any hazzle.
We are happy that WorldNow has chosen Razuna. They have a strong technology and impressive customer base, and we are proud to work with them, says Razuna CEO Jens Strandbygaard. And with our European base, we definitely see some potential for helping WorldNow into the European market as well.
The technology partnership between WorldNow and Razuna will result in new digital asset management features available for WorldNows customers in later part 2012.
Razuna is exhibiting at the Next Web Conference in Amsterdam on April 26th and 27th 2012.
