Business Wire
Azuki Systems and ARRIS Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARRS) today
announced a collaboration via a pre-integrated video solution
designed to help service providers quickly and cost-effectively
deploy on-premise, multi-screen video services to their
subscribers.
This collaboration provides a full integration of the Azuki
Media Platform™ to deliver managed and optimized over-the-top (OTT)
video to any screen over any network, and the ARRIS ConvergeMedia™
Management Suite (CMM) software to enable flexible management of
on-demand content, assets, billing and workflow. The combination of
Azuki and ARRIS products represents a simple, seamless and
ready-to-deploy TV Everywhere solution. It allows service providers
to leverage first-screen, video-on-demand (VOD) assets to extend
and monetize, via the ARRIS SkyVisionTM advertising platform,
multi-screen services at home, and on-the-go.
“The rapid proliferation of multi-screen devices represents a
huge opportunity for service providers – but multi-screen
implementations must be simple, cost-effective and fast-to-deploy,”
said Neerav Shah, Vice President Advertising Solutions Group from
ARRIS. “This collaboration between Azuki and ARRIS delivers all of
that, and more. Azuki’s approach to TV Everywhere and its
connector-based architecture augments the power of our
ConvergeMediaTM Management Suite to reach multi-screen devices over
any network, anywhere.”
Now, service providers can share entitlements and provide screen
shifting from first-screen to all-screen devices inside and outside
of the home. With this partnership, service providers can:
- Expand reach to all devices and
screens
- Leverage their existing back-office
infrastructure, including metadata, account information, content
files, and VOD assets
- Deliver screen shifting between all
devices
- Integrate with existing ad platforms
for dynamic ad-insertion across all devices
- Leverage a simplified and automated
multi-screen workflow, which eliminates the complexity of
supporting multiple devices, platforms and networks
- Monetize multi-screen solution by
leveraging existing media sales infrastructure and operations
“Until now, deploying a turnkey, integrated multi-screen video
offering was complex, time consuming and very expensive,” said John
Clancy, president and CEO of Azuki Systems. “By collaborating with
a widely regarded leader like ARRIS to deliver this integrated
solution, we’ve empowered service providers to quickly, easily and
cost-effectively deploy multi-screen TV Everywhere and fully
monetize this opportunity beyond limited authentication
services.”
