The Challenge Forum IAS Faced
- Despite being Vimeo’s Enterprise customer, No proper support or point of contact with Vimeo.
- Often their valuable course videos got leaked in Telegram.
Why Forum IAS Chose TPStreams
- ForumIAS was looking for a secured video hosting platform alternative to Vimeo.
- They were considering other vendor and TPStreams for hosting their videos.
- TPStreams has an inbuilt DRM solution whereas, for other vendor, Forum IAS has to buy third-party DRM and integrate with other vendor. This would lead to more cost and delayed deployment.
- Also, the ease of use of Live class and uploading videos is more simple with TPStreams.
How TPStreams responded?
- ForumIAS had about 10000s Videos on the previous platform. Migration was a bigger task for the developer Team.
- TPStream’s inbuilt Video Migrator has helped ForumIAS move the entire library from the previous solution to Testpress in just 24 hours. An excel sheet with Vimeo Video’s equivalent video ID / Embed code is provided to ForumIAS in an excel sheet. This made the job much easier for their development team and migration was more simple for them.
- The customer feels that they have a person to connect with when they have any query
- Video processing and upload speed with TPStreams is faster than the previous solution.
The Results
- After migrating to TPStreams, they see no new videos got leaked in Telegram.
- Due to TPStream’s intelligent per-title transcoding algorithm, bandwidth usage of students and Forum IAS got reduced by about 40%.
“Partnering with TPStreams greatly helped us serve encrypted EdTech video content device-agnostically by integrating cutting-edge per-title technology.
Leveraging this not only helped embed and serve our voluminous data across platforms in a secure environment but also tremendously reduced our time-to-market and associated costs.”
