Hearst Networks is migrating its VoD distribution to Arqiva’s fully cloud-based VoD processing platform, as part of the companies’ existing partnership.
The new contract will see Arqiva continue to deliver the broadcaster’s VoD assets to 40+ pay-TV and OTT platforms across EMEA.
Arqiva’s VoD processing platform provides companies with a number of features, including multi-tenanted capabilities orchestrated by Arqiva’s in-house software development teams, live view visibility of processes and delivery, and a tight integration with Qlik SaaS for reporting and billing management, enabling automated reporting and dashboards, which are updated in real time.
Speaking about the partnership with Arqiva, Matt Westrup, CTO Hearst Networks EMEA, said, “Our partnership with Arqiva has extended over many years, and in that time, the demands and scale of our VoD distribution activity have grown year-on-year, becoming a key strategic focus for our business.
“Arqiva has evolved and innovated to offer Hearst Networks an integrated cloud platform that combines the agility of software with a trusted managed service for the heart of our business – our content, our partners and our audience.’’
