Video on public websites and portals, without the compliance overhead.

Public institutions weigh video hosting on more than one side: privacy law, accessibility rules, formal procurement processes, and, just as important, how the video actually works for the citizens, participants, and colleagues who watch it.

Ignite is built to hold up across all of them: privacy first, accessible, procurement-ready in the documentation, and comfortable enough that people actually come back.

    Procurement and IT departments typically need the same set of documents: DPA, sub-processor list, TOMs, data centre certifications, independent legal opinion on cookie-free operation.

    All available for your internal review. Reach out with your institutional details, and we send the compliance documentation over. Formal quotes and a reference list of public-sector customers are available on the same request.

Volkstheater Logo

With Ignite, we were able to make the website of the Munich Volkstheater significantly more dynamic — in a way that’s both GDPR-compliant and as accessible as possible. This allows us to use our video material optimally to promote our productions.

Where public institutions use Ignite.

  • Citizen portals and public websites

    Ministries, municipalities, and public agencies embed information videos on their websites and citizen portals. For them, cookie-free means the video plays for every visitor.

  • Live webinars and council meetings

    Advisory bodies, education agencies, public research institutions, and municipal councils run live sessions for stakeholders, participants, and the wider public: online consultations, council meetings, and educational webinars. 10 to 1.000 participants is the typical and wide range. We don't charge per viewer; we just measure traffic.

  • Training and knowledge platforms

    Recorded courses and knowledge content in a structured library is one use case. Ignite is the video layer inside training platforms (Moodle, ILIAS, Totara, custom).

Structured for public procurement.

Public institutions follow defined evaluation and approval processes. Ignite supports that with documentation, references, and a transparent pricing model.

  • Formal quotes and evaluation timelines

    Formal quotes for internal approval workflows on request. Longer trial periods align with your evaluation timeline. No payment method for trial: budget approval and technical evaluation run in parallel.

  • Reference list for public-sector procurement

    On request, we share a reference list of public-sector, cultural, and educational customers. Supports the reference-check phase.

  • Transparent pricing, no per-seat fees

    Pricing mostly based on video hours and traffic. No per-view, no add-ons for features. Enterprise plans with SSO and special settings. And of course you can pay via invoice.

Sounds interesting?

Then you can try all features for 30 days completely free of charge. No up front subscription, no need for payment details. Of course, we can also schedule a personal demo to show you what's possible with Ignite.
