Qumu was founded in 2002, when
Yahoo! purchased the
dot-com era search engine company
Inktomi. As part of that transaction, Yahoo received a technology for managing and publishing video assets called Media Publisher, originally developed by eScene. Two entrepreneurs and former eScene executives approached Yahoo with an offer for the Media Publisher product. They spent the next six years developing it into an enterprise video platform and renamed the company Qumu in 2008. In 2014, Qumu acquired London-based video platform provider Kulu Valley and rebranded their video platform as Qumu Cloud. In October 2015, Qumu named Vern Hanzlik President and CEO. Hanzlik was a founder of content management technology company Stellent, which sold to
Oracle for $440 million in 2006. In July 2020, Qumu appointed technology executive TJ Kennedy as Chief Executive Officer. In September 2020, Qumu launched its
Zoom app. Qumu was acquired by
TSX-listed company Enghouse Systems Ltd in an all-cash deal worth million in February 2023. ==References==
