Netherlands based eventIS, a SeaChange company, has claimed that they have completed an end-to-end VOD solution for Slovenian IPTV (News - Alert) operator Amis.
eventIS has stated that their video-on-demand back office system supports targeted advertising, content pre-selection, push VOD and transactional VOD. And by using the technical expertise and deployment of the same system eventIS enabled Amis to roll out services fast.
Tomaz Stegel, IPTV project manager at Amis, commented in a press release, “When they were faced with the challenge of introducing advanced content on-demand services to compete in the highly competitive Slovenian IPTV market, eventIS provided outstanding expertise as well as a flexible middleware solution. The integration, involving many different market-proven IPTV ecosystem component providers, went smoothly and in an impressively short time. This was largely due to all the internal and external interfaces being highly stable and well-documented. Now, in the operational phase, they're finding the system management intuitive and easy to handle, with very little maintenance involved.”
Marcel Simons, vice president of EMEA sales at eventIS, added that they have enormous experience in implementing VOD services and are committed to providing best-of-breed, open back office solutions. These offer excellent flexibility and scalability for dynamic markets like Eastern Europe. By applying their expertise in system integration, they can help service providers like Amis seize market opportunities.
Amis rolled out services like both on-demand and subscription-based VOD, quota-based nPVR, time-shifting of the 30 most popular TV channels, pause live TV, restart-TV and historic EPG with 48 hours of catch-up TV.
eventIS has claimed that their VOD back-office suite features open interfaces based on standard metadata specifications. In addition, it offers a great deal of flexibility to handle new developments in the industry, allowing operators to future-proof their offering and deliver attractive services such as time-shifting and restart TV.
In June 2010, eventIS and Verivue (News - Alert) entered into cooperation on the development of a complete solution for on-demand digital video services.
