Don’t Worry About File Uploads, We’ve Got It Covered.

COMPLEXITY

Large files, mobile network congestion, high latency networks, handling various file types, integration with Cloud providers, security and authentication, infrastructure management for scale and many more – each component adds complexity to build and even more to maintain.

COST

Developers are the creative foundation of delivering value. Every minute that the team spends on building and maintaining a content ingestion stack is time not spent on building other value added features for your customers. The cost to the company is enormous.

TIME TO MARKET

In the world of cut throat competition, it is always a race against time to bring killer features to market and drive value to customers. Building your own content ingestion stack could set you back months of time. Don’t let the market window pass you by.
