Over the years, we've working with many different VMS providers including Blox VMS (formerly known as Field59). We are happy to work with your existing VMS provider, and we won't try to put ourselves in the middle of that important relationship. We don't have any interest in getting into the video hosting and transcoding business. The video library you will use in our CMS interacts seemlessly with your video provider via their API. This way, you can use the video provider that works for you.

I wanted to reference this article on the BLOX blog because it's a great write-up on our successful integration of their VMS in our product from one of our customers. I like the quote they provided about Viking CMS:

Using built-in BLOX VMS workflows, Griffin Communications has customized a solution to meet their needs that includes multiple livestreams, captured video feeds, and FTP processes.
"The way they've built BLOX VMS into their content management system (CMS) gives the stations the ability to quickly go live on their digital platforms with multiple livestreams," said Michael Worringer, senior product manager at BLOX Digital.

Viking CMS concentrates it's effort into being the fastest, and best CMS in the enterprise market without getting lost trying to do everything. We loved working with Field59, and would highly recommend it to anybody who is looking for a video hosting partner!

I'm Don Drury, and I created Viking CMS. I built a whole enterprise-scale CMS based on a need I saw working as a front-end developer within the largest media conglomerate in Oklahoma. They had spent 20 years trying to work around their CMS. They had hired a back-end developer, a front-end developer, 4 designers and still weren't able to do the basic things they wanted to do. I built Viking CMS and changed everything for them.
