Uniguest, a digital engagement technology company, has purchased Planet eStream, a unified video platform provider for the education sector, according to a company press release.
Uniguest has more than 4 million users across over 550 locations. Located in West Yorkshire, U.K., Planet eStream will align under the UK-headquartered Tripleplay IPTV and digital signage division of Uniguest.
Planet eStream is a unified video platform used primarily by secondary schools, colleges, and universities to create, manage, and deliver content and digital learning resources to students and staff. Features include video on demand, live streaming, lecture/classroom capture, digital signage, and image management.
“Planet eStream is an excellent addition to the Uniguest family of brands,” Jeff Hiscox, Uniguest CEO, said in the release. “Digital engagement in education is growing at an exponential rate, and we are excited to offer new and existing customers a solution with such a wide range of capabilities. As we integrate Planet eStream into our Tripleplay division, we will explore opportunities to extend a number of its enterprise video and digital signage capabilities across other end markets and territories.”
Wendy Robinson co-founder of Planet eStream, will stay on with Uniguest after the acquisition as managing director.
“Over the past 17 plus years, we have worked hard to create a platform to support the ever-increasing requirements of educational organizations for video-based learning,” Robinson said in the release. “I look forward to continuing our work within the education sector and introducing our technology to other territories and new verticals.”
Uniguest is a portfolio company of Atlantic Street Capital and adding Planet eStream to the Uniguest organization marks the fifth acquisition of 2021. The company acquired JANUS Displays, a hospitality-focused digital signage company in February; Sagely, a senior living software technology provider in May; UCView, an IPTV and digital signage provider in September; and Volara, a voice-based engagement provider in October.
