By Powering Video Services at Web Scale and
Speed, Elevate Raises the Game for Operators of Any Size
Transforming the viewing experience worldwide, Espial will
introduce its Elevate cloud-based software as a service (SaaS)
video platform to the European market at IBC2017. With Elevate,
IPTV, cable, and OTT operators can leverage a proven, multitenant
cloud platform that has been successfully deployed by 40 North
American customers. In the face of OTT competition, operators
require a cloud platform that provides predictable costs and a
roadmap to achieve web scale and speed. Espial’s Elevate ensures
that operators can deliver a richer and more immersive video
experience to subscribers across all devices, including set-top
boxes and consumer-owned screens. Combined with the benefits of the
cloud approach — including flexibility, scalability, and cost
efficiency — Elevate allows operators to attract and retain
subscribers as well as drive new revenue streams.
“To stay ahead of the competition, pay-TV operators need to
launch video services with rapid scale and speed. It’s also
important to achieve the benefits of scale on a platform shared by
dozens of operators. Elevate answers those requirements, and we are
excited to bring its powerful capabilities to the European market,”
said Michael McCluskey, vice president of product management at
Espial. “Elevate is redefining the video experience by enabling
operators to deliver the most advanced experience with the lowest
possible investment by leveraging the cloud and multitenant
platform, while allowing consumers to more quickly discover the
content they want to consume.”
Elevate is available as a turnkey, cloud-hosted video solution
to ensure a quick time to market for pay-TV services with an
award-winning user interface. Through advanced analytics; a
powerful segmentation engine that allows operators to test,
deliver, and promote offerings to a single user, group, or the
entire customer base; promotions management; and recommendations,
Elevate sets the bar for managing, monetizing, and delivering an
exceptional video experience. With support for a wide range of
devices — including set-top boxes, mobiles, tablets, Roku, and more
— and easy integration into existing infrastructure, Espial ensures
quick time to market.
At IBC2017, Espial will showcase some of the latest innovations
to the platform including voice control and Android TV support.
With voice control, end users can quickly change channels; search
the guide; review the VOD catalog; play DVR recordings; and pause,
rewind, or forward programming, simplifying the entertainment
experience. Android TV provides operators with a rich apps
environment and a seamless, consistent UX with other Elevate
devices.
