Snapstream's Rakesh Agrawal Interviewed by Mike McGuff

For those of you who are familiar with Snapstream and BeyondTV, you'll want to check out this video from MikeMcGuff's BarCamp Houston 3 TV.  The interview is of Rakesh Agrawal, the CEO of Snapstream - maker of BeyondTV and Snapstream Enterprise.

The focus of most of the conversation is on Snapstream Enterprise.  According to Agrawal in the interview,

"for the last two years as a company, we've (Snapstream) shifted our focus to solving television search problems for organizations."  

This shifted focus has transformed Snapstream Enterprise into a force in the enterprise markets filling a void for television search and archiving.  Agrawal also goes into their consumer HTPC product, BeyondTV near the end of the video.






I had the opportunity to meet with Rakesh last Fall (my interview with Agrawal can be found here) and discussed in detail the HTPC industry, BeyondTV and their Enterprise product.  I think their enterprise product is a great idea and shows how you can take a good idea and fill a need by thinking a little outside the box.
