- Leading Technology, Distribution and Solution Providers Join 
Brightcove Alliance

Brightcove Inc. today announced the formation of the Brightcove Alliance,
a global ecosystem of leading technology and distribution partners who have
integrated with the Brightcove online video platform, as well as solution
providers building customer websites and video applications using Brightcove.
Through the Brightcove Alliance, organizations worldwide have access to a
broad range of expert partners, pre-integrated technologies and services to
support online video initiatives of any size and scope in every market.

"Video is pervasive on the Web and website producers and operators are
faced with an increasingly complex set of requirements and challenges to
operate successful online video initiatives," said Jeremy Allaire, Brightcove
chairman and chief executive officer. "Our fast-growing network of Brightcove
Alliance partners extends the possibilities of online video for organizations
regardless of their size or market. The Brightcove Alliance helps our
customers grow their businesses and expand the role of online video on the
Web, while empowering our partners to create new innovations in online
video."

Brightcove has attracted a wide range of partners that wish to provide
solutions to the hundreds of major media companies and marketers that publish
their video through the Brightcove platform. With the launch of Brightcove 3
in October 2008, the company released a rich set of open APIs that partners
can use to integrate with and build solutions on top of the Brightcove
platform.

The Brightcove Alliance launches with more than 90 partners, spanning a
variety of online video needs, including creative and interactive design,
advertising networks and server technologies, delivery and distribution,
analytics and audience measurement, social media and community building.
Through the Alliance, partners have access to training, support, technology
and co-marketing opportunities for reaching the Brightcove customer base.

In early 2009, Brightcove will introduce training and certification
programs for partners as well as channel reseller opportunities. For more
information on the Brightcove Alliance partner program please visit

will help us to bring more features to media owners and more premium content
to advertisers looking to deepen their engagement with audiences, both of
which are crucial in today's economic climate. For Brightcove publishers,
ADTECH provides powerful ad serving solutions for the monetization of their
