Global Publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Selects Entriq to Package and Distribute Content to New Digital Channels

CARLSBAD, CA--(Marketwire - January 15, 2009) - Entriq has been selected by global publisher, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., as the video provider for a variety of Wiley's websites, including its soon-to-be-released "For Dummies®" video content library across its branded online properties and other syndicated destinations.

The ubiquitous "For Dummies®" reference books have gained massive popularity by helping simplify the technical complexities of computers and a myriad of personal and business issues.

In response to fast-growing demand from consumers seeking advice and how-to video content, and as a complement to its books and online reference material, Wiley has developed an extensive video library that draws from existing publications and brings further to life the already engaging and light-hearted "For Dummies®" content.

In order to effectively extend its video across the web, the company needed a flexible and robust platform to package, control, deliver and monetize its content across all relevant devices and platforms. Wiley selected Entriq's solution because of its unique ability to manage the entire video publication workflow, from inception into the content management system to syndication across branded properties and other sites, including popular social video services.

"Entriq is Wiley's choice as an enterprise-wide, corporate solution for serving video on any and all of our websites that need them. We're especially excited about their current project supporting Dummies.com. 'For Dummies®' is a household name in the publishing industry and a trusted resource for consumers seeking to navigate life's challenges. We understood we had a powerful brand that had not reached its largest possible audience, especially given the dramatic growth of online video consumption in recent years," said Eleanor Russell, vice president of Online Channel Development at Wiley. "In Entriq, we found a solution that minimizes the technical challenges of getting video from the source to various online destinations in the most appropriate format, across all of Wiley's online businesses, allowing us to focus on producing the quality content our audience has come to expect."

With Entriq, Wiley can achieve in a single solution what has traditionally required multiple point solutions, and most importantly, present the right content at the right time to its audience.

"Companies like Wiley are seeking a way to get digital assets to new audiences," said Guy Tennant, chief operating officer at Entriq. "Entriq provides a one-stop solution that removes the complexity and technical challenges of publishing or syndicating. We take delight that a company known for survival guides for tough situations has chosen our technology to navigate the move to online video and reach its digital media potential."
