Onstream Media's DMSP, operating within a highly secure environment, enables customers to have total access to all of their media across their entire enterprise. Users can repurpose that content for distribution on the web in multiple formats for both streaming and downloadable media. The enhanced platform is user friendly and requires no prior programming knowledge to operate. This streamlines the approval and workflow process. Bradley Fisher, editor of Alcoa.com, the corporate website of Alcoa Inc., noted that, "The Onstream platform has made it easy and affordable to scale-up video content on http://www.alcoa.com ."

Onstream Media's DMSP offers many key advantages to users, including elimination of the upfront costs often associated with installations of Digital Asset Management (DAM) software and hardware, a low monthly fee, ease- of-use that allows anyone utilizing a web browser to use the DMSP, and a highly secure environment for content provided by SAIC, one of the country's leading IT data assurance companies.

"We are extremely pleased with the reception for our DMSP from our growing list of clients," said Randy Selman, president and chief executive officer of Onstream Media. "The latest upgrade is just the beginning, with additional feature sets to follow that are being developed in response to specific requests from both existing and prospective clients.
