Overcast is fundamentally different — it changes the game for video owners\!

Cloud Native Architecture
We were born in the cloud. That’s very different from traditional DAMs, MAMs, PAMs and CMSs that are lifted and shifted to the cloud. It’s all about micro-services orchestrated for your specific needs.

Transcoder First
With more than 500 video formats and 5,000 CCTV formats, you need a solution that (a) guarantees your upload and (b) ensures you can stream to all devices. That’s why we use 5 different transcoders.

Workflow Automation
Our award-winning design and UI mask the automation of complex video processes. We make it easy for non-techies to engage with the video supply chain.

Cost/Sales Optimisation
Small teams can choose off-the-shelf SaaS solutions while larger organisations can take advantage of access to real-time usage data, cost simulations and secure audit logs.


Video Content-as-a-Service (VCaaS) — a new standard for business

Simplify your tech stack
Manage your video and other digital content from a single platform. Simply and easily integrate your existing technologies or decommission them over time.

The old approach to video content management is wrong
Traditionally, video was siloed in organisations while managed by engineers and editors. Now, with the advances in automation and AI services, video can be managed across an organisation by less-technical employees.

Video content distribution is changing
Most organisations now deliver video across a number of channels: broadcast, web, social, apps, affiliate networks, in-store, stadiums. Previously, when organisations introduced new channels of distribution they would also create new content pipelines. This led to silos and costly duplication. Now we can work from a “single source of truth” and manage it with a “single pane of glass.”

Scaling the distribution of video is core to all enterprise organisations
Whether you are a Hollywood studio, publisher, or simply a business that understands the power of video, you’ll know that we pay a lot to produce quality content. Value is only derived when we distribute it — and to maximize that value it’s essential to simplify the supply chain.

Adding value through micro-services
There are plenty of tools that have been used for a single purpose: storage, transcoding and metadata enrichment to name a few. Value is created when you consolidate and orchestrate those micro-services for speed and efficiency.

## Reviews

### "The Best Media Sharing & Management Software Available" — 5.0/5

> **Adrian** | *3 July 2021* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy for clients to use and access. Uploading, sharing, and time stamp commenting.
> 
> **Cons**: Exporting of comments so one doesn't have to go back and forth
> 
> No dead links, sharing is easy, never had an issue

-----

### "Simple to use review and approval system" — 5.0/5

> **Martin** | *2 July 2021* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We are implementing a whole new system and part of the requirements was a way for external clients to have access to work in progress and be able to make comments. This is easily achieved using Overcast and the integration with editing systems is fantastic.
> 
> **Cons**: So far everything is working as expected so nothing to dislike.
> 
> We needed a way to share content with clients in a more streamlined way than uploading a link and have the ability for them to make comments that can feed back into editors and producers.

-----

### "Easy to use and excellent customer service" — 4.0/5

> **Alice** | *19 August 2021* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: No nonsense, user friendly, multi-functioning, easy client access, excellent customer service
> 
> **Cons**: Doesn't have some of the "nice to have" functions or full streaming capabilities (such as viewer data analytics). But does have everything we needed from a digital asset management point of view.
> 
> Working with Overcast has been great, especially whilst adapting to digital events. They are hands on, supportive and the product does what it says on the tin.

-----

### "Great tool for video localisation" — 4.0/5

> **Mary** | *20 August 2021* | Translation & Localisation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Enables sharing of videos with ease.  Review commenting is efficient and easily tracked.
> 
> **Cons**: No specific dislikes.  Some tweaks in workflow identified, taken on board by Overcast and solutions found.
> 
> Improved efficiency in sharing / reviewing videos, positive experience overall.

-----

### "Easy to use and easy to work with" — 5.0/5

> **Neil** | *24 May 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The features that really stand out with Overcast are (1) customer service and support, working with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was a true partnership and it was great to deal with real people rather sitting in a queue waiting for a response to your support ticket (2) intuitive interface making the software a pleasure to use rather than the painful experience we had with our previous software.
> 
> **Cons**: Overcast lacked some of the nice to have features that more established players had, but did have all of the core features we needed. But since using it we have already seen more functionality come on stream and are kept informed about further developments in the pipeline.
> 
> Overcast accomplished our goal of bringing four disparate asset management systems and the assets the held into one easy to use system, whilst minimising the pain of ingestion and standardising the metadata.
