WCP Media Services was formed in Lugano, Switzerland in 2011
to develop a standardized platform for managing and distributing entertainment
content using the latest cloud-based technologies. WCP Web App combines
proprietary software with top-tier solutions from Signiant, SNELL, Harmonic,
Telestream and others in an integrated platform that allows content owners to
manage their assets and deliver them to business partners domestically and
internationally.
The platform is aimed at reality TV producers and other television
producers who create and distribute a large volume of content for domestic and
international markets. It is also an ideal solution for other independent
producers, distributors, buyers, film festivals and institutions. The platform
is currently being used by Sierra/Engine Television, distributors of such shows
as SAF3, Crossbones and Ghostbreakers;
MonteCristo International, distributors of long-form television content;
and Electus, producers of such shows as Style
by Jury, Mob Wives and Wake Up Call.

WCP Media Services President Cristina Molinari says that WCP
Web App is the first affordable PaaS that directly addresses each step in the
process of managing and preparing large digital media files for widespread
delivery. “Our web-based, pay-per-use service allows our users to distribute
content in the same manner as major studios with million dollar investments in proprietary
systems,” Molinari explains.

and tracked online, so you know instantly (without having to ask) where your
content is going, when it arrives at its destination, and what costs are being
