AudiencePlayer, a leading video technology company, has successfully migrated its platform from Azure Media Services to Jet-Stream Cloud. This strategic move ensures continuity, enhanced performance, global scalability and road map acceleration for AudiencePlayer’s video platform solutions.

AudiencePlayer vision

In our “online” lives, streaming services like Netflix and Masterclass play a significant role. A new reality and market opportunity are emerging, and a rapidly growing number of businesses want to seize this chance.

The mission of AudiencePlayer is to empower content professionals to scale their own video streaming business and generate revenue. Easily and affordably. 

While our customers focus on producing content and marketing their video service, we handle all the technical aspects. Because we only succeed when our customers succeed.”, highlights Doron Nethe, CEO of AudiencePlayer

AudiencePlayer solutions

Easily upload your videos in the management environment and publish them with a single click. Use their Netflix-style building blocks to create your own OTT website, mobile apps, and smart TV apps, or develop your own frontend apps with their user-friendly WordPress plugin or API. 

Set up a revenue model that fits your audience and scale safely worldwide across multiple channels. AudiencePlayer provides all the solutions and products to maximize the value of your content.

Partnership with Jet-Stream

Last year, AudiencePlayer received news from their partner Microsoft that they would be discontinuing their global streaming services in July 2024. According to Doron Nethe, “This news was not only a challenge for us but also an opportunity to broaden our horizons and seek an even stronger solution. With determination, we rolled up our sleeves and ultimately found the perfect match: Jet-Stream, an innovative Dutch company based in Groningen”.

After months of intensive collaboration, this summer the AudiencePlayer platform was successfully integrated with Jet-Stream’s cloud services. 

Why did AudiencePlayer choose Jet-Stream?

Here are the four main reasons:

Security

Jet-Stream fully complies with GDPR regulations. All of AudiencePlayer customers’ content is securely stored in Europe (Amsterdam).

Sustainability

Jet-Stream uses 100% green energy for all its services, aligning with AudiencePlayer’s vision for a sustainable future.

Scalability

With multiple integrated CDNs Jet-Stream provides extensive global coverage, including regions in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and China. This allows AudiencePlayer to expand their streaming services to even more countries worldwide without compromising on quality.

Innovation

Jet-Stream Cloud offers an open infrastructure, allowing for easy customisation and optimization at every workflow stage. Since each AudiencePlayer customer has a unique setup, Jet-Stream’s Advanced Media Streaming Suite (AMSS) helps streamline these workflows, by automating such processes as transcoding, packaging, DRM protection, etc… 

Moreover, according to Doron Nethe, Thanks to Jet-Stream’s advanced technology, we can add valuable new features to our platform, such as live streaming and FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming Television).”

Switch to Jet-Stream

In short, this strategic partnership allows us to grow, innovate, and serve our customers even better. We are excited about a successful and promising future together!

AudiencePlayer

If you’re also looking for a robust and future-proof streaming solution, now is the time to make the switch to Jet-Stream. Let’s innovate, scale, and thrive together.

Jet-Stream, in collaboration with EdgeNext, worked with Leqture to globally stream the International Women’s Day 2024 celebration to viewers worldwide, available in Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch and English languages.

Leqture & Jet-Stream

Leqture, a company specializing in curating, producing, and facilitating live sessions for numerous companies, was hosting a high-profile event featuring 12 keynote speakers from all over the world for international companies’ employees. Unlike previous occasions where Microsoft Teams sufficed, this time, the streams had to cater to a global audience, spanning from America to China, with live subtitling in numerous languages. Thus, Leqture required a professional streaming service provider capable of meeting these specific criteria: Jet-Stream.

Why Jet-Stream?

Jet-Stream emerged as the preferred solution due to its reputation as Europe’s leading streaming platform with a track record of ensuring high-quality, secure streams worldwide and it’s live multi-language capabilities.

A major advantage of Jet-Stream Cloud is that it combines multilingualism with distribution to exotic continents. Translation into Japanese, Arabic and Chinese, for example, is of little use if you are unable to reach viewers in those parts of the world. And vice versa, high performance and scale for streams in those countries are of little use if people cannot understand the content. Jet-Stream Cloud has integrated both multi-translation and multi-CDN, maximizing the reach of your content: both in readability, audibility and high performance in Asia, China, the Middle East and Africa.

Multi Language Subtitling

Jet-Stream’s Cloud, designed for multi-language streaming support, integrates a comprehensive suite of multilingual features such as automated translation, subtitling, and narrative services. For this particular event, Leqture used the multilingual subtitling from audio to text with further translations.

These multilingual live subtitles are generated through Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology, that transcribes spoken content into text with remarkable precision. Subsequently, the transcribed text is automatically translated using AI into numerous languages.

To ensure accessibility and comprehension for Leqture’s diverse global audience, the live subtitles were provided in the following languages: German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, Italian, Japanese, Dutch and English. Thanks to Privacy Player Pro, viewers were able to switch between the multilingual subtitles on-the-go, which enhanced their viewing experience.

Global Reach, Including China

To ensure the event’s availability across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas, Leqture leveraged Jet-Stream’s Airflow Multi CDN service. With integration into 7 global CDNs, Jet-Stream guaranteed optimal performance, scalability, and reliable high-quality streaming worldwide. Jet-Stream’s partnership with EdgeNext, a leading edge cloud service provider with a physical presence in China, ensured the necessary infrastructure and technical expertise to facilitate streaming into China.

There is a clear trend to livestream events more professionally, where more advanced features are required such as delivery into emerging markets such as China, multi-language live subtitling, and professional webcast support services, and we welcome professional partners such as Leqture”, comments CEO of Jet-Stream, Stef van der Ziel.

Valuable Insights

Furthermore, Jet-Stream’s built-in real-time analytics provided Leqture with valuable insights into audience engagement. Analyzing traffic usage, live stream sessions, popularity, demographics, devices, and referrers allowed Leqture to measure the event’s success and optimize future strategies effectively.

Jet-Stream’s multi-CDN technology was crucial in reaching viewers worldwide with smooth, high-quality streams. It was amazing to combine that global reach with live subtitles in ten languages.  

Team Leqture

For such a high-profile event, we needed a streaming partner that could handle a global audience. Jet-Stream’s multi-CDN technology was crucial in reaching viewers worldwide with smooth, high-quality streams. It was amazing to combine that global reach with live subtitles in ten languages.  It made the International Women’s Day event truly accessible and ensured everyone could understand the inspiring speakers, no matter where they were in the world.” – Team Leqture

AudiencePlayer, a leading video technology company, has successfully migrated its platform from Azure Media Services to Jet-Stream Cloud. This strategic move ensures continuity, enhanced performance, global scalability and road map acceleration for AudiencePlayer’s video platform solutions.

PPRCRN & Jet-Stream

PPCRN, a part of Loyals, specialises in video content and live registrations for online and hybrid use. The company focuses on the strategic combination of purpose, placement, and technology to deliver high-quality video production tailored to the needs of its clients. Whether producing periodic videos, securing assets for brand strategy, or creating standalone content for socials and commercials, PPCRN provides advisory, creative, and production services.

Why Jet-Stream?

The Second World Local Production Forum was a collaboration between the Ministry of VWS and the WHO and as the partner for online and hybrid events, it was down to the team at PPCRN to stream this event. Although PPCRN had an established live streaming partner, the uniqueness of this live stream required SRT streaming capabilities and support for multiple audio streams. In light of these specific requirements, the company embarked on a search for a partner and ultimately selected Jet-Stream.

Multi-language live streaming

PPCRN’s decision to opt for Jet-Stream was rooted in its capacity to facilitate live streaming with multi-language audio streams. A bespoke transcoder setup was implemented. Thus, enabling multiple transcoders to operate seamlessly, resulting in a high-quality adaptive live video stream with synchronised multiple audio tracks. 

Global reach

For global performance, scale and reliable high-quality streaming, PPCRN leveraged Jet-Stream’s built-in Airflow Multi CDN service, with its 7 integrated global CDNs. 

Interactive video player

End users easily switched between language tracks in Jet-Stream’s video player, while the html5 video player automatically adjusted the video bit rate selection for the most optimal quality of experience (QoE). Jet-Stream’s customizable player, enriched with interactive elements, offered an engaging and immersive viewer experience, enhancing the overall impact of the streamed content.

24/7 support

Jet-Stream’s support team was on hot standby before and during the event to guarantee a smooth setup and flawless live stream event.

We were really pleased with the professional solution which brought this event to the next level.”

Joost Berk

In the dynamic landscape of multi-language live streaming, Jet-Stream proved to be the right partner for our unique project requirements. Giving the viewer the option to choose one of the interpreter languages all within one player and a simple click of the button was our request. Working with Jet-Stream we were able to create this multi-lingual player. By testing and working together we were able to create, adjust, test, adjust and test some more to make sure we could offer the perfect experience. We were really pleased with the professional solution which brought this event to the next level.”, shares Joost Berk, CTO of the PPCRN.

The collaboration between PPCRN and Jet-Stream for the 2nd World Local Production Forum exemplifies the importance of choosing the right streaming partner for specific project needs. Jet-Stream’s operational and technological capabilities, coupled with PPCRN’s expertise, resulted in a successful streaming experience that met the stringent requirements of a global event hosted by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport and the World Health Organization. This partnership not only addressed the immediate needs of the project but also showcased the adaptability and reliability of Jet-Stream for streaming for government organisations.

The post Over a dozen broadcasters increase revenues via innovative video ads appeared first on Jet-Stream.

Traditional ad banners are becoming less effective for broadcasters, posing a challenge to generate sufficient revenue in the evolving landscape of online advertising. Viewers are increasingly ignoring or blocking standard banners, necessitating a fresh approach to engage audiences and boost ad revenue.

Jet-Stream & Opt Out Advertising

Opt Out Advertising and Jet-Stream increase broadcasters revenues

To increase ad revenues for broadcasters and publishers, Opt Out Advertising collaborated with Jet-Stream to revolutionise the advertising model with an alternative to banner ads, now effective already for over a dozen broadcasters who see increased ad revenues. According to research, viewers are 27.4 times more likely to click through online video ads than standard banners. Recognizing the limitations of a traditional advertising strategy, the focus shifted to cookie-less advertising solutions like OutStream video ads, offering a unique solution to capture viewer attention without relying on cookie consent.

OutStream video ads

The new OutStream advertising service shows advertisement videos in the broadcasters’ web pages and apps, without the need for video content. Video ads are shown without the need for cookie-consent because privacy is guaranteed and no cookies are being used, resulting in high reach.

“With the increasing growth of consentless inventory, we are excited to offer a range of products that respect users’ privacy to both publishers and advertisers. Expanding advertising opportunities with outstream video allows publishers to serve a diverse range of advertisers. As instream video is rare, the outstream video product makes it possible to add a new revenue stream while respecting users’ privacy and the first results look very promising”, says Tom van Bentheim from Opt Out Advertising.

Privacy friendly cloud

One of the key components facilitating this advancement is the switch to the European GDPR-compliant Jet-Stream Cloud, which also provides an improved video player for displaying ads. Jet-Stream Cloud is an EU-owned, operated, and hosted sovereign cloud that actively protects its customers and the viewers’ data.

Enhanced advertising video player

Jet-Stream Privacy Player Pro was enhanced to support the new OutStream video advertising model. Opt Out Advertising uses the players’ built-in API to fully control and monitor whether the ad is being loaded, watched, to pause the video when is scrolled beyond, whether the window is active or not, and to verify whether the ad is watched.

“We love the cooperation with Opt Out Advertising, since both our companies are committed to data protection. And together we help our customers improve their monetisation, while protecting their data. We are excited that broadcasters value our partnership and our mutual innovations. To see that they are improving their ad revenues, while start taking true GDPR compliance seriously is great. The cases with the broadcasters prove that privacy drives business, which is a breakthrough in this industry”, says Stef van der Ziel from Jet-Stream.

The collaboration between Opt Out Advertising and Jet-Stream is rooted in a shared commitment to data protection. By prioritizing cleanliness and privacy-friendliness in the monetization of consentless inventory, both companies have empowered broadcasters to enhance their monetization strategies while safeguarding user data.

Jet-Stream, EdgeNext, and EPEAK stream into China for Entrepreneurs’ Organization, delivering high-quality, high-performance streams across the globe. 

In today’s digital world, webcasting and live streaming have become an integral part of global communication and entertainment. However, streaming into China presents a unique set of challenges due to the country’s strict internet regulations and infrastructure limitations. 

To overcome these obstacles, EPEAK Studio, a global service hub for events, marketing and process automation, used Jet-Stream Cloud, Europe’s leading streaming platform, which recently joined forces with EdgeNext, an edge cloud service provider with a physical presence within China. And now, they met on a Jet-Stream Podcast episode, where they discussed how each of the companies contributed to the successful event streaming into China.

The Need for Webcasting in China

EPEAK Studio is a global events agency that specializes in AV and live streaming, event management, and event technology. They reached out to Jet-Stream last year with a customer request to stream into China. The customer is the Entrepreneurs’ Organization, an organization based in the US that provides training to entrepreneurs, to provide live streaming services for their annual conference in Cape Town, South Africa.

The event, with one large stage and one studio, with multi-camera capturing and multi-lingual live translation, was to be streamed globally. 

Global?

But what is global? You may think that ‘global’ video platforms can reach all markets, but in reality, the are blocked, and ‘global’ CDNs can deliver in all markets, but they can’t, at least not with presence, scale, performance and capacity in every country.

China opportunities

The world is so much larger than just Europe and the USA. China alone is a market for video services of over a billion people. Interesting video streaming applications for China for example are B2C media, B2B education, commercial e-learning, marketing, sales, sports and gaming. 

Challenges

Tim, Josh and Stef discuss what can go wrong with webcasting in general (a lot!), what technical and legal restrictions there are to stream into other continents and countries, and how to optimise your content to local cultures, ethics, device usage, and networking constraints.

Choosing Jet-Stream

As the only streaming provider they knew that could provide a reliable live streaming solution in China, EPEAK Studio reached out to Jet-Stream to help them provide a live stream for their client. Jet-Stream’s partnership with EdgeNext meant they had the infrastructure and technical expertise required to provide live streaming services in China. This made it possible for EPEAK Studio to deliver a seamless live stream to the Chinese audience without any disruptions or downtime. 

Learn how the three companies made it easy to stream into China, overcoming technical challenges and legal/bureaucratic challenges too.

Glass to glass from South Africa to China

They discuss the specific case from glass to glass, how the signals were translated, contributed, transcoded, and distributed in partnership with the three companies, with a successful global major streaming project as a result. 

“Jet-Stream’s dedicated support team proved their value before and during the event’s livestream. We and our customer were satisfied with the services provided”

Timothée Pineau

Learnings

Listen to the podcast and learn from three veteran industry leaders, their experiences, their insights and their learnings to further improve streaming into China and other emerging markets.

A leading global faith organization was struggling to reach their customers around the globe due to slow streams and poor customer support from their previous online video platform vendors. None of the platform they tried brought them the performance and support that was promised and needed. The organization was losing their faith in the streaming industry and sceptical about trying yet another streaming platform. However, Jet-Stream was able to make a difference.

We are a global educational organization in the Netherlands with 6 24/7 streaming channels and some specific backend requirements. Over the years, we worked with a number of different streaming providers, including some big names in this field. But Jet-Stream has been the best of all of them. Their technology is leading edge and always improving, they accommodated us with our special requirements, they are very easy and fun to work with and respond very quickly to any situation where help is needed. And they have a very high-quality CDN system, with GDPR compliance and green streaming. We highly recommend them.”

Why Jet-Stream?

Jet-Stream’s interface was a welcome surprise. Managing streams, on-demand video, player publishing and streaming analytics is easy, in one unified interface. Streams are available instantly, and settings changes are in real-time. Multi-CDN proved to improve the performance of streams around the world, and the organization was pleasantly surprised with the platform’s uptime for transcoding, origins, videos, and streams. All features – except for one- worked out of the box, while the organization’s experience in the past was a rollercoaster of disappointing interfaces and workflows, buggy statistics and underwhelming performance and support.

The one custom solution required was DVR. It is a feature that allows viewers to go back in time while watching a live stream. With the help of Jet-Stream, the organization was able to implement this feature and provide its customers with a seamless and uninterrupted streaming experience. Our team tested various implementations until they found one that fit the organization’s needs, resulting in a positive and enthusiastic response from the organization.

The live watchback service was implemented by running two custom origin services in Jet-Stream Cloud, with DVR functionality enabled. The benefit of Jet-Stream Cloud is that it is easy to run isolated, dedicated containers, so Jet-Stream can run custom services, within its standardized cloud and streaming workflow environment.

Faith-based organization’s workflow, highlighted in orange.

Jet-Stream’s technology is leading edge and always improving, they accommodated us with our special requirements, they are very easy and fun to work with and respond very quickly to any situation where help is needed.

Organization in Faith

This situation illustrates the power of Jet-Stream to provide tailored solutions that meet the needs of our clients. By implementing DVR, we were able to address the organization’s challenges and enhance their users’ streaming experience. As a result, they have chosen us as their supplier, highlighting the importance of providing reliable and effective streaming solutions in the streaming industry, and that of a seasoned team of experts who run a dynamic streaming cloud. So, Jet-Stream saved the day and restored the Faith organization’s faith in streaming.

Who hasn’t heard of it: the Eurovision Song Contest, with extravagant shows from all over Europe and far beyond? The 2021 edition was of course different than other editions because of COVID. How could participating countries see their own rehearsals if they were not physically present? And how could you keep the press informed if journalists could not get in touch with the artists? The answer was streaming. And Eurovision trusts this to Jet-Stream.

Eurovision & Jet-Stream

Since Covid, streaming became a mission-critical core part for the Eurovision Song Contest. A number of strict conditions were therefore rightly imposed. Think of streams that must always work, at high video quality, but also making sure broadcasts could be viewable as far as Australia. Jet-Stream was selected in 2021 and in 2022 by Eurovision because they were one of the few suppliers that could meet the combination of requirements.

When the 2023 contest was held in the UK, the chosen vendor could not match high performance standards set by Jet-Stream. As a result, Eurovision has decided to continue using Jet-Stream Cloud for the next three years.

Livestream Eurovision Song Contest

Why Jet-Stream?

Source streams are redundantly sent from the event location to Jet-Stream’s new European Streaming Cloud, which live transcodes the streams to multi bit rate adaptive streams in real-time. The Jet-Stream Cloud is purpose-built for streaming, offering the latest technologies in high quality media processing up to 8K video, media protection and ultra-fast streaming delivery throughout the European continent.

The show must go on

The internet is a patchwork of interconnected infrastructures that can fail. Imagine the damage if streams buffer or break during such important events as the Eurovision Song Contest. Jet-Stream Cloud integrates multiple Content Delivery Networks to globally deliver high performing streams. All streams and CDNs are actively monitored across the globe. Active load balancing algorithms select the most optimal path for each viewer upon start and mid-stream to guarantee the highest possible uptime and performance for each viewer, even when a global CDN suffers from a minor or major outage.

Media security

Rehearsals absolutely must not leak; the show needs to remain a surprise. To prevent unauthorized access to streams, Jet-Stream Cloud protects Eurovision streams with encrypted connections and URL signing technologies that prevent deep linking outside the Let’s Get Digital online event platform.

Uniformity of branding

To offer the viewers an exclusive Eurovision branding experience across any device, Jet-Stream’s Privacy Player Pro is built into Let’s Get Digitals’ platform, matching the look and feel of the Eurovision brand. Privacy Player Pro is responsive, adaptive and supports mid-stream switching and comes with an interactive API.

European data shielding

Jet-Stream Cloud is European owned and built on European soil. Third parties have no access to logs and analytics that are stored in the secure Jet-Stream Cloud. Therefore, the entire Eurovision streaming service is fully GDPR compliant. Jet-Stream Cloud actively protects the privacy of the Eurovision viewers and protects Eurovision’s data.

Eurovision’s workflow on Jet-Stream Cloud, highlighted in orange.

Support from the experts

Let’s Get Digital and Eurovision setup, process, protect and publish themselves with Jet-Stream’s easy to use and user-friendly services. The technical teams at Eurovision are 24/7 supported by the Jet-Stream team in the Netherlands. Our experts have nearly 30 years of streaming experience (they invented streaming in 1994) and offer support to make sure that the show goes on, no matter what. We are supporting with glass-to-glass checks of the entire chain: from encoder tuning to player integration, from upstream connection monitoring to livestream monitoring. 

We’re absolutely delighted to extend our collaboration with Jet-Stream for the Eurovision Song Contest. Their commitment to meeting rigorous standards for reliability, quality, and security is truly outstanding. With Jet-Stream on board, we’re confident in providing Eurovision fans worldwide with an unforgettable experience.”

NH Media, AT5 & Jet-Stream

NH Nieuws and AT5 are the most important news sources for the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area and the North-Holland region, reaching almost 75% of its population. They are an innovative media company with 250 ambitious and highly-skilled professionals who create high quality content for apps, websites, social media, radio, television and events.

Why Jet-Stream?

The media companies were not satisfied with their streaming vendor. Too many times they had worked with vendors who overpromised but underdelivered. Too many outages, outdated technologies, and support was not responsive or technically experienced enough. This was bad for business since being broadcasters, streaming is a mission critical core service. The broadcasters considered to have a custom platform built, which would have become time and money consuming.

Instead the media companies chose to partner up with Jet-Stream because of their availability, performance, features, security, privacy, workflow automation, modern technologies, expertise and support. Coincidentally, when Jet-Stream visited NH Media and AT5 to discuss the contract, the live streams of their current vendor failed. Instantly Jet-Stream created an account, configured the live stream publishing points, so the live encoders could be setup. The Jet-Stream URLs were pasted into the video players, so within a few minutes NH Media and AT5 were back online. And never left since.

NH and AT5’s workflows, highlighted in orange.

Sebastiaan Vos is Manager Digital / Head of product. He comments: “Jet-Stream has provided NH Media with an invaluable partnership. They made integrating our workflow extremely easy. From the migration process to adding trans rating services on top of our products. The team at Jet-Stream properly monitor both their services as well as our input. They have helped in all aspects of the distribution of our content. Equally as important as their service is the core product, which is rock-solid. Jet-Stream really delivers a product that “just works”. Understanding what is needed to achieve this, I tip my hat to the team.

EDPS & Jet-Stream

EDPS wanted to webcast their congress: the Future of Data Protection, effective enforcement in the digital world. The congress was hosted by the top 100 speakers with expertise in data protection. Slash9, the production company, proposed to use Jet-Stream, because of our pro-active data protection policies. Jet-Stream was audited by a specialist, and found Jet-Stream to be fully compliant. All lights were green to broadcast the congress live, with great privacy for the audience, and with data protection for EDPS.

Slash9 sent the live streams to Jet-Stream Cloud. Here, the streams were live transcoded to high quality multi-bit-rate adaptive bit rate streams. The streams were secured and Privacy Player Pro was published on the event page. Chromecast was disabled to prevent the player from pinging data to Google. A specific Mix of Jet-Stream CDN plus European CDNs was used to make sure no non-EU service was used in the process. All logs and analytics are stored within Jet-Stream Cloud, protecting all data.

Who hasn’t heard of it: the Eurovision Song Contest, with extravagant shows from all over Europe and far beyond? The 2021 edition was of course different than other editions because of COVID. How could participating countries see their own rehearsals if they were not physically present? And how could you keep the press informed if journalists could not get in touch with the artists? The answer was streaming. And Eurovision trusts this to Jet-Stream.

Mediahuis & Jet-Stream

Publishers like Mediahuis are investing in transforming themselves into digital powerhouses. The internet brings many new opportunities. And when you go digital, you go video. Video is the most appreciated form of consuming media. Video drives engagement. And more viewers, with better engagement, mean more business. Streaming is therefore a strategic asset. That’s why Mediahuis Noord selected Jet-Stream to power its video services.

Mediahuis offers on-demand videos and live television streams of events to its audiences. Jet-Stream provides high availability streaming services to guarantee high uptime, high performance and scale. Mediahuis uses the Jet-Stream Mix service to cherry pick Jet-Stream services, tune these to fit their needs, and integrate live encoding, batch ingress, back-end systems, and portals.

We especially appreciate the combination of flexibility, hands-on approach and streaming knowledge present at Jet-Stream.

Patrick Knopjes: “Recently we selected Jet-Stream to stream the podcasts from De Telegraaf, which is the largest news publisher in the Netherlands. The reason why we selected Jet-Stream was because we had some specific wishes with regards to sharing serverlogs with a 3rd party. This would enable the possibility for De Telegraaf to participate in the monthly national podcast ranker. Some custom development was needed, and the available time was limited. The flexibility and knowledge present at Jet-Stream helped us to achieve this goal.”
