Datapost Media Distribution Solutions is a South African leader in Rich Media Content delivery and asset storage and management technology. The business offers state-of-the-art solutions for the full spectrum of companies and organizations wanting to compete successfully in the networked economy. New technologies are radically transforming the market for the creation and distribution of rich media (audio, video, animation, high resolution images and dense information streams). Highly scalable media servers and authentication software allow rich media content to be produced, distributed and experienced with far greater speed, security and flexibility than ever before.

Datapost designs, develops and markets advanced systems for specialized content capture, storage, management, retrieval and delivery allowing companies to leverage their digital assets and realise their true value. These web based systems work with specialist hardware supplied by major integrators. They are sold to small, medium and large sized companies within the new-networked economy for a range of applications. Datapost's systems are distinguished from the competition by their sophisticated interfaces, scalability and ease of modification.

The team involved with the creation and development of the Datapost solution have been involved in the media business since the inception of television in South Africa in 1972. The team has a wide variety of skills based around this industry, ranging from content creation through to content delivery.
We have been following the development of the electronic media with a keen interest. In 2000 Datapost actively began developing a product to deliver media on demand mainly for our core business, the advertising agencies.
The vision was to take the video facility on-line. We have developed an interface which is web based to run the database. It is simple, easy to use and does not require a high level IT resource to manage.
