Beamr Issues Q3-2024 CEO Letter to Shareholders: Focus on Marketing Strategies and Building the Sales Funnel

 

Herzliya, Israel, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beamr Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ: BMR), a leader in video optimization technology and solutions, today issued a Letter to Shareholders from Sharon Carmel, Chief Executive Officer.

 

Dear Shareholders:

 

I am pleased to share with you our Q3-2024 activities, progress, and other recent updates.

 

Below are the key aspects of our strategy:

 

In 2024, Beamr has strengthened its market presence by participating in 7 leading trade shows and conferences during the year so far, including Mile High Video, GTC, NAB, SIGGRAPH, Oracle CloudWorld, IBC and Demuxed.

 

During these events, Beamr executives delivered high-impact presentations to hundreds of industry professionals, showcasing our innovative technology and expanding SaaS solutions. Furthermore, we held over 100 face-to-face meetings with existing and prospective customers. These efforts focused on differentiating Beamr in the video market and highlighting the value of our high-quality, high-efficiency, GPU-accelerated SaaS offerings to key and prospective customers in emerging markets, such as Media & Entertainment, User-Generated content and Internet-of-Things.

 

Building the sales funnel

 

We achieved a significant milestone with our first cloud sale, demonstrating that all of Beamr SaaS’ components - ranging from onboarding and connecting the customers’ video repositories to billing - are functioning as designed.

 

Currently, we are working on dozens of new leads and deals in our sales funnel, which we are aiming to convert into signed customers in the end of 2024 and leading into 2025. Though we still cannot give projections, we are encouraged by the substantial interest generated since the launch of Beamr Cloud in February 2024, and we are pleased with the progress we’ve made so far.

 

 

Optimizing Live 4Kp60 using GPUs

 

Beamr successfully demonstrated live video optimization for the first time at 4K resolution (Ultra-High Definition) and 60 frames per second (4Kp60) - the only live optimization available on GPUs (for more details, read here).

 

The demonstration set a higher bar than video on demand, as live video optimization requires fast and constant video processing. We view live video optimization as a highly valuable milestone that can contribute significantly to our sales growth in 2025.

Q3-2024 Highlights

 

During Q3-2024, we strengthened Beamr Cloud with our first AI capabilities, expanded our collaborations with video industry leaders, and created a new channel to reach customers with large-scale video libraries in the media and entertainment market.

 

In July 2024, we launched our first AI capabilities integrated into Beamr Cloud, enabling automatic caption and transcription generation in multiple languages. It is a first step in augmenting Beamr Cloud with AI capabilities.

 

In August 2024, we announced that Beamr Cloud supports automated and scalable modernization of video to the advanced AV1 format (AOMedia Video 1), which is poised to address a significant challenge that has occupied many video industry professionals in recent years.

 

As a GPU-accelerated video service, Beamr Cloud enables its customers to enhance videos with AI capabilities, while simultaneously performing video operations, such as upgrades to advanced formats like AV1.

 

Delivering “Forever Video”

 

In October 2024, we commenced a collaboration with Bridge Digital Inc., a proven video technology integrator, to offer a specialized service for companies and organizations with large-scale video repositories, including those in news, sports, entertainment and user-generated content.

 

Utilizing Bridge Digitial’s extensive expertise in media storage and video management, this partnership enables companies that rely on video for their daily operations or manage vast video libraries to achieve “Forever Video” - future-proofing their content to ensure long-term compatibility through efficient, automatic, and scalable processes, all while significantly reducing costs.

 

Capturing the interest of video industry leaders

 

Throughout Q3-2024, we participated in top industry conferences showcasing our collaborations with tech giants and capturing the interest of video industry leaders.

 

At SIGGRAPH 2024 and at Oracle CloudWorld 2024, we demonstrated with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) an optimized production of large, high-quality, high-resolution videos rendered from 3D design, enabling the sharing of heavy files of 3D model visualizations with creative teams members, customers, and other stakeholders.

 

 

We also participated in investor conferences, where we presented Beamr’s achievements and future plans, such as the H.C. Wainwright 26th Annual Global Investment Conference and the 2024 ThinkEquity Conference.
