Tout: Bridging the Gap Between the Video-Rich and the Video-Poor

"As the web becomes a more video-centric medium there is an unnecessarily large disparity between the video-rich and the video-poor in terms of publishers," said Tout Founder/CEO Michael Downing..

Tout Launches Programmatic Video Content Exchange

Technology enables video from hundreds of leading media brands to be instantly and dynamically inserted into contextually relevant articles across the web. 


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tout, a leading online video network, today announced the public launch of its programmatic video content exchange.

The Tout Programmatic Video Content Exchange taps into Tout's patented video data-annotation technology, originally developed at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI International) to establish contextual matches between text-based news articles across the web and relevant video that covers the same topic or story. The Tout platform analyzes hundreds of thousands of articles across its publisher partner ecosystem and once a match is established, the technology dynamically inserts a video embed into the body of the article.

Leading media brands across news, sports, entertainment and lifestyle pump thousands of videos daily into the Tout video content exchange. Publishers in turn have the ability to either manually or programmatically embed the videos into their websites and earn a revenue share from the advertisements that run against the video views generated.

"As the web becomes a more video-centric medium there is an unnecessarily large disparity between the video-rich and the video-poor in terms of publishers," said Tout Founder/CEO Michael Downing. "The Tout platform reduces this disparity by programmatically inserting the highest quality video into articles across news, sports, entertainment and lifestyle at an unprecedented scale – regardless of the size of the publisher. The ease and efficiency of matching and rendering contextual videos in articles will drive an unparalleled level of high engagement, in-article video supply and revenue."

Publishers who sign on to the Tout video content exchange will have highly relevant video sourced either from their own in-house video contributors or from the broader content exchange's leading media brand partners. Publishers implement the dynamic video embed via a simple process, retain complete editorial control and can customize the programmatic engine to prioritize or merchandise specific content. More than 500 leading media brands participate in the Tout content exchange today including The Wall Street Journal, People Magazine, Sports Illustrated, CBS, Reuters, The Weather Channel and many more.

About Tout
Tout is a next-generation video network that counts over 500 leading media brands across news, sports and entertainment as platform customers. The Tout platform enables top tier media brands and publishers to create, distribute and monetize their video content more effectively in a fast changing landscape. The Tout programmatic video content exchange and patented Annotator™ technology seamlessly match highly relevant video to text-based articles across the web – creating unprecedented distribution opportunities for video creators and entirely new revenue opportunities for publishers.

ABUJA, Nigeria, 28 August 2014 -/African Media Agency (AMA)/- Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan today received his National eID card, heralding the official launch of the eID pilot program. In the pilot phase, the Nigerian Identity Management Commission (NIMC) will issue MasterCard-branded identity cards with electronic payments functionality to 13 million Nigerians. This initiative is the largest rollout of a biometric-based verification card with an electronic payment solution in the country and the broadest financial inclusion program in Africa.

The eID card forms a key component of the Nigerian Identity Management System, deployed by NIMC as part of its mandate to create, maintain and operate the country's first central National Identity Database and provide proof of identity to Nigerians 16 years and older.

With 13 applications, including MasterCard's prepaid payment technology and Cryptovision's biometric identification technology, the eID card will provide millions of Nigerians - the majority of whom have never had access to a banking product - with the security, convenience and reliability of electronic payments.

At a celebratory event held in Abuja, His Excellency President Goodluck Jonathan said: "I am happy that this important milestone of the rollout of the National Identity Management System has been realized today. I am impressed with the quality of the eID card and the work of the corporate partners that made it possible. I commend especially MasterCard, and Access Bank Plc, as well as the Commission [NIMC] for achieving a world-class product."

He said the card builds a window to a social security benefit system and therefore, it is a card every Nigerian should get.

NIMC is working with several government agencies to integrate and harmonize all identity databases including the Driver's License, Voter Registration, Health Insurance, Tax, SIM and the National Pension Commission (PENCOM) into a single, shared services platform.

"The National eID program enables us to create an optimized common platform for Nigerian citizens to easily interact with the various government agencies and to transact electronically," says Barr. Chris 'E Onyemenam, Director General and CEO of NIMC. "There are many use cases for the card, including the potential to use it as an international travel document, which will have significant implications for border control in Nigeria and West Africa."

"In close collaboration with both the public and private sectors to achieve the full potential of this program, NIMC is focused on inclusive citizenship, more effective governance, and the creation of a cashless economy, all of which will stimulate economic growth, investment and trade," he adds.

Through the collaborative efforts of NIMC (the project lead), MasterCard (payments technology provider), Unified Payment Services Limited (payments processor), Cryptovision (Public Key Infrastructure and Trust Services Provider), and pilot issuing banks including Access Bank Plc, 13 million Nigerians will gain access to state-of-art financial services as part of the pilot program.

"This is a memorable occasion for MasterCard as we witness the start of a financial inclusion program that is unprecedented in scale and scope," says Daniel Monehin, Division President of Sub-Saharan Africa, MasterCard. "Combining an identity card with MasterCard's prepaid payment capability creates a game changer as it breaks down one of the most significant barriers to financial inclusion - proof of identity - while simultaneously enabling Nigerians to access the global economy."

He said the broader economic impact of the card will be felt as the previously unbanked and under-banked are able to gain access to the mainstream economy, and the visibility of their assets allows them to build a financial history and establish credit-worthiness with financial institutions.

Using the card as a payment tool, Nigerians can deposit funds, receive social benefits, save, or engage in many other financial transactions that are facilitated by electronic payments with the extra security assurance that biometric verification provides. They can also pay for goods and services and withdraw cash at millions of merchants and ATMS that accept MasterCard payment cards in Nigeria and in more than 210 countries and territories globally. MasterCard has unsurpassed merchant acceptance; no other brand is more widely accepted. The card also has the added safety and security benefits offered by the EMV Chip and Pin standard.

Group Managing Director, Access Bank Plc Herbert Wigwe, said: "Access Bank is a supporter and promoter of innovative ideas that would improve the quality of lives of Nigerians. This initiative provides another opportunity to highlight our commitment to national development and nation building."

To receive the eID card, Nigerians aged 16 and above need to register at one of the hundreds of NIMC enrollment centers nationwide. The enrollment process involves the recording of an individual's demographic data and biometric data (capture of 10 fingerprints, facial picture and Iris) to authenticate the cardholder and ensure that there are no duplicates on the system. Upon registration, NIMC issues each Nigerian with a unique National Identification Number (NIN), followed by the national eID card.

Upon completion of the pilot program, NIMC plans to introduce more than 100 million cards to Nigeria's 167 million citizens.

"By supporting the Nigerian Government in the implementation of a world-class and innovative electronic payments program, we are helping them to reduce the costs of cash to the economy and society, improve efficiencies and prevent fraud and corruption. More importantly, we are opening up a world of financial inclusion to millions of Nigerians and improving lives," says Monehin.
