Description
- Kinescope builds digital video infrastructures for the internet. They do this while making it affordable, business-friendly and technologically advanced. Kinescope makes sure that clients can always access their infrastructure for professional video purposes. Kinescope differentiates in that it keeps the data from clients within the legal jurisdiction of where it came from. This enables extra security for the data because it is not stored at external locations, unnecessarily. Kinescope finds security of the data and videos especially important, which is why they lay a big focus on it and do everything to keep the data as secure as possible.

According to Kinescope
- ''Other than the fact that 42on is a very professional and knowledgable company, I have also experienced that they are very approachable and empathetic as a company and team.''
- ''To start a project with 42on is very easy and accessible. There was no need for unnecessary project documentation, as that will only make things more complicated and slow the process.''
