Kensei Media

The Kensei Media Platform is a collection of components for managing and publishing digital content - video, audio, images and documents. Designed as a framework which can be integrated with existing websites, or used to create entirely new applications, we think it's the perfect solution for media-rich experiences. Offered as a fully managed service, and with several editions, it's suitable for individual developers, SMEs, and multi-national organisations.
