Leading Streaming Technology Vendors Join Forces to Offer Pre-Integration of Streaming Workflow with Edgio Managed Services
Edgio, together with top streaming technology providers, Accedo, Bitmovin, Grabyo, and Vimond, today announced a strategic partnership to address a growing need faced by media and entertainment when it comes to delivering OTT video – the ability to quickly assemble and manage a streaming ecosystem that delivers high-quality linear, live or on-demand video while reducing costs and increasing efficiencies. Edgio is leading the alliance as a Managed Service Provider, working with companies to seamlessly integrate technologies across the entire streaming tech stack – from content production, personalization and distribution to user experience and monetization. This not only simplifies the intricate processes associated with delivering and managing streaming workflows, it also helps provide a frictionless entry into the market. As managed service provider, Edgio will provide a single point of contact for all support needs, regardless of vendor.
"For media companies, piecing together an ecosystem like this on their own would be costly, time-consuming, and risky," said Eric Black, CTO and GM of Media for Edgio. “By bringing together companies at the forefront of streaming and managing the entire process under one service partner, media companies can focus on creating innovative content versus navigating the complexities of a streaming workflow.”
The pre-integrated workflow provides a winning solution for OTT platforms, broadcasters, sports leagues and content owners: it delivers on their desire to increase profitability, while supporting the very best in viewer experience, no matter what type of content a viewer is watching or on what device — all while reducing internal costs and operational complexity. The increased flexibility empowers customers to experiment with distribution and price point models, such as AVOD, SVOD, and FAST, to find the most profitable individualized offering for their specific audiences.
At launch, the partner ecosystem includes:
-
Accedo: App Development
Media companies can ensure a consistent, high-quality representation of their brand across all streaming touchpoints with Video Application management, which includes custom templates and bespoke development for state-of-the-art UX that attracts and retains users.
