Reality Digital, an established leader in user-generate content (UGC) and video sharing for businesses, today announced partnerships with international technology resellers, Germany’s ISC Opcorner AG [www.opcorner.com] and Italy’s Bitage [www.bitage.it]. The resellers will add Reality Digital’s user-generated video and social networking platform, Reality Digital Opus, to their list of technology solutions for the enterprise.

ISC Opcorner AG is a technology reseller headquartered in Munich and operating throughout Germany, Switzerland and Austria. ISC will include Reality Digital’s UGC platform with its end-to-end technology services and product offerings for the enterprise customer.

“Companies all over Europe are looking to leverage Web 2.0 technologies such as user-generated video and social networking to support their business goals,” said Joachim Jauch, chief executive officer, ISC Opcorner AG. “Reality Digital provides a proven, best-in-class solution that offers the enterprise a chance to connect with customers in a self-branded environment. It’s an easy sell.”

Bitage, a Milan-based technology reseller that specializes in Web, networking and IP communications integration, identified Reality Digital as the market-leading vendor of user-generated content solutions. By using Reality Digital Opus, the company’s hosted, white-label solution for the enterprise, as the back end for a community video sharing site (such as ClipShack.com in the U.S.), Bitage will debut a similar user-generated video sharing site in Italy and will launch their own white-label business.

“We had a number of immediate opportunities in the Web 2.0 space. When we looked at our options for technology vendors, Reality Digital came out on top in terms of both cost and quality of service,” said Federico Bolondi, chairman, Bitage. “In addition, the opportunities we had in our pipeline needed to be turned around quickly, and Reality Digital was able to accommodate with an affordable, fast-to-market solution.”

Reality Digital developed the Opus platform as a user-generated content and social networking platform for the enterprise. Opus equips business customers to create their own UGC Web site or add a UGC aspect to an existing Web site. Customers also have the option of monetizing their content through a patent-pending advertising module called Opus AdCel™, an animated in-video overlay.

“We are proud to lead the way in the European user-generated video and social networking market,” said Cynthia Francis, chief executive officer, Reality Digital. “Companies worldwide recognize that user-generated video and social networking offer an unprecedented opportunity to increase brand recognition as well as customer acquisition and retention. We’re only too happy to provide the opportunity along with these great partners.”
