The company continues to develop its core platform, by introducing support for real-time data and analysis. The number includes the $32 million that they announced in January of last year. Action IQ has seen 100% year-over-year revenue growth, increasing its valuation by more than 250%.

VIDIZMO partners with NEC Networks & System Integration Corporation (NESIC).

The partnership will provide support for customers with their live and on-demand videos, through AI capabilities. Working as part of the “Zoom Boom” in Japan, the solutions that arise from the partnership will help enterprises to manage the growing number of Zoom meetings.

Yum! Acquired the omnichannel ordering and marketing platform this week. This confirms the deal has now closed, following the announcement earlier this month. Yum! Brands sales hit a record of $17 billion in 2020, a 45% increase from the following year. The acquisition has arisen out of the company’s plans to scale.
