Platforms Analyzed
1. IndiVideo — BlueRush (Canada)
Overview: Its main strength for the financial sector is the secure and normative handling of data. BlueRush uses a client-side rendering architecture ("SmartEmbed") where the video is assembled in real time on the user's device rather than being pre-rendered on a server, ensuring that no Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is stored on the platform.
Key Features:

- Dynamic data injection (e.g. recalculate a pension payment live in the interface)
- Interactive elements (buttons, forms, decision trees)
- Interactive CTA forms integrated into the player
- WCAG 2.1 accessibility compliance
- SOC 2 Type I certified
- Native API integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, and advisor portals (Broadridge AdvisorStream)
