Envivio Presents at Herring on Hollywood

Los Angeles, CA (August 1, 2000) – Envivio, a leading provider of standardized, streaming solutions for multimedia content providers and distributors will be presenting at Herring on Hollywood. At the convergence point of the Internet and television, Envivio provides tools to deploy truly interactive and on-demand services. Envivio was selected from several hundred start-up companies to present to an invitation-only assembly of leading figures in the Internet and Hollywood community. Shawn Ambwani, Vice President, Business Development, and Co-Founder, and Julien Signès, President, CTO, and Co-Founder are presenting.

Envivio will introduce a software solution for content providers to merge television invasiveness with Internet interactivity. With Envivio end to end solution, Content providers can create, stream, and present content in a completely secure and standardized format. End-users can personalize and participate in streaming presentations.

Envivio's technology is based on MPEG-4, the ISO multimedia standard from the creators of MPEG-2 and MP3. As a France Telecom spin-off, Envivio acquired over 3 years of experience in MPEG-4 development. "Our technology brings to broadband users and content providers a level of interactivity and content integration that has never been available before in an integrated, end to end, standard, optimal solution" stated CTO Julien Signès. Mr Ambwani added: "As broadband becomes more widespread, companies that utilize streaming media will demand solutions that attract more attention, provide maximum distribution, generate dynamic customer personalization and that are based on a standard, stable format."

"There are currently no streaming media solutions that satisfy the needs of content creators and broadband users," stated Robert Graham, Senior Managing Director at Global Accelerator LLC. "Not only does Envivio's technology satisfy these needs, but they are providing an infrastructure solution for the future of marketing and advertising on the Internet."
