This need exists because of the complacency of traditional graphics and multimedia software makers in providing timely services and open, customizable, community-driven software solutions that are bandwidth savvy. Tribeworks offers comprehensive solutions and tools for building next-generation multimedia experiences that add powerful richness and depth to the Internet. Unlike traditional software companies with whom the investment in the customer ends once they purchase products, Tribeworks offers a continually cultivated relationship based on solutions and services. Using iShell 2, companies own a direct customer relationship by immersing audiences in unique media rich environments that combine online full-screen video, custom players, and interactive presentations. Tribeworks services are sold on an annual basis to multimedia authors through a Developer Network.
Services are available through a multi-level membership model.
Gold Membership provides a complete software and services portfolio rolled into one effective, premium package. Silver Membership suits the basic, entry-level needs of multimedia authors adopting iShell for commercial use. Tribeworks also provides Enterprise Solutions to organizations, ranging from solutions based on Tribeworks technology to programming and development. Tribeworks, based in San Francisco, was founded in 1998 by a team with a long history in rich-media and streaming technologies.
