MCA-I chose to partner with Multicast for a number of reasons, partly the quality and speed of the product for delivering video over the web, but also the functionality and range of player options. “We also felt that that the look of Multicast’s players suited the professional image the association wants to present. Equally as important was its members’ positive feedback about their experiences with the product and Multicast’s enthusiasm for the partnership,”
“As a professional association with multi media professional members, the Multicast partnership gives MCA-I a technical presence that enhances our credibility in a technical world. Showcasing the winners of an International Awards competition through an online portal portrays the MCA-I as a technically savvy group of professionals, an association that would be attractive to potential new members,” said Shifflet.
