Electronics retailer Media-Saturn Germany has selected CSG International’s digital services platform CSG Ascendon, to power JUKE, its new entertainment portal.
Media-Saturn’s new JUKE service includes a range of products with over 30 million songs, more than 15,000 movies and TV series, 1.5 million e-books, as well as 2,400 PC games and PC software applications, launched by using free apps or via the JUKE website. CSG Ascendon brings video and music together in one service, available anytime and anywhere with a single login across smartphone, tablet, PC/notebook, smart TV or set-top boxes.
CSG’s digital service platform enables Media-Saturn to offer more robust, flexible services, based on customer interests. The platform enables JUKE to include multiple services including purchase (EST) and on-demand rental (TVoD) for TV programming and movies. CSG Ascendon claims a powerful, smooth customer experience across all consumer devices including PC and Mac, iOS, Android Devices, Samsung TV, LG TV, Humax STB, and Chromecast. In addition, CSG manages the video content management system, entitlements, supply chain integration, customer care application, analytics and reporting.
“Media-Saturn is focused on not only delivering a robust catalogue of services, but also offering its customers a cutting-edge, personalised experience. This combination accelerates any digital content strategy,” said Kent Steffen, president of digital services at CSG International. “While many consumer brands are extending their core business to become digital service providers, we find that they are often challenged by their existing infrastructure. We are proud to help companies like Media-Saturn transform their systems and services through CSG Ascendon.”
CSG Ascendon is a digital services platform that allows communications service providers (CSPs), content producers and retailers to launch, scale and monetise new digital services such as movies, music, games, home security and more. The platform enables providers to launch new digital services without uprooting existing technologies or infrastructure.
