Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS™) Adds
Significant Value for Armstrong and its Customers
Regulatory News:
Verimatrix, (Paris:VMX) (Euronext Paris: VMX), the leader in
powering the modern connected world with people-centered security,
today announced that Butler, Pennsylvania-based Armstrong, a
leading U.S. cable company offering service in more than 469 zip
codes, deployed the Verimatrix Video Content Authority System
(VCAS™).
Founded 74-years ago, Armstrong is committed to securely
offering a wide array of popular streaming options for its large
customer base. Armstrong recently incorporated a more sophisticated
TiVo platform into its set-top boxes in order to remain at the
cutting-edge of technological changes in the television industry.
In order to make the transition worthwhile, the company required a
high-quality, easy-to-integrate encryption solution that would
allow it to offer as many streaming options – and it selected the
Verimatrix VCAS solution.
“Their high-level anti-piracy software is widely accepted by
content owners, something other encryption services simply could
not compete with," said Mike Giobbi, CTO at Armstrong.
Verimatrix was a key player in ensuring a smooth transition from
Armstrong’s Video On Demand (VOD) legacy product, which operated
for more than 15 years, to a more graphical user interface
experience that allowed for the company to easily convert fifty
percent of its customer base to a more sophisticated,
streaming-friendly set-top box platform.
Part of the draw in using this new system was the attractive
menu of streaming options made possible by Verimatrix’s secure VCAS
system. Rather than having customers solely rely on a Firestick or
other add-on streaming device, Armstrong was able to natively offer
a wide array of content while still giving customers the option to
utilize their streaming method of choice if they so choose.
“The integration process went much quicker, since Verimatrix
already had API interfaces between TiVo and could easily be
incorporated into our existing infrastructure,” added Giobbi. “The
VOD launch was easy – we knew going with Verimatrix was a
no-brainer.”
This native, secure streaming capability is what Armstrong now
hopes more customers will rely on as time passes. What allows the
company to remain competitive in the rapidly changing world of
entertainment is the user-friendly encryption software engineered
by Verimatrix, which is consistently ranked as providing high-level
anti-piracy capabilities by coveted content providers of all
kinds.
“Verimatrix has been exceptional to work with and simple to
integrate,” said Chris Mley, Product Services Engineer at
Armstrong. “It just works. We knew Verimatrix had a pristine
reputation in the industry, but now we’ve been able to witness it
first-hand.”
“VCAS offers a long-standing track record of helping operators
innovate and grow while doing so in a consistently secure and
easy-to-deploy manner,” said Asaf Ashkenazi, Chief Operating
Officer at Verimatrix. “We’re pleased to announce that a company
such as Armstrong with such a rich and lengthy history is one of
the latest to outline the many benefits of Verimatrix’s
award-winning content security technology.”
