I'd recommend Ooyala or BrightCove as a professional video platform for mid-to-large size businesses. Both have scalable pricing as demand increases (including support for mobile, API's and live-streaming). They're expensive (see pricing: Ooyala and BrightCove), but acceptable for mid-large businesses. Brightcove is used by big names such as Fox, DiscoveryChannel, etc. Ooyala is used by EA, Dell, etc.

Competitors to also consider: Kaltura, Delve, Viddler (no live), Wistia (no live).

Ps. personally I wanted to recommend Vimeo because I love their player's interface, but Vimeo Plus' 5gb/week limit means it's probably not suitable for businesses.
