Streamcheck, the streaming industry's leading source of objective quality metrics, has announced an expanded sales and marketing partnership with Netvein Corporation, one of Japan's leading management service providers. This relationship builds on the business partnership already established with Tekinvest KK, a strategic consulting and investment firm based in Tokyo, and Mitsubishi Research Institute, one of Japan's leading research firms. "This partnership is designed to take advantage of the tremendous opportunity in Japan for new streaming services. We're very excited to have a partner who understands the local business environment." said Shai Berger, president of Streamcheck.
Netvein will be a value-added reseller of Streamcheck's industry leading quality measurement services. Japanese customers are already able to take advantage of Streamcheck's local infrastructure, set up last year in partnership with Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Research Institute and Tekinvest KK. Customers can also complement this data with measurements using Streamcheck's Canadian, European and U.S. based measurement points.
"The Streamcheck service is arriving at an ideal time for the streaming market in Japan. A source of objective quality metrics on streaming media is essential for content owners as they compare the delivery options available to them." said Koichi Masaki, president of Netvein. "As broadband use in Japan has finally passed 7 million users, we see streaming as a growing business and our customers see assuring quality as essential. Having been working with Streamcheck from their beginnings, we have confidence in their technical leadership and ability to maintain that lead." said Ray Klein, founder and president of Tekinvest.
