You.i TV and Vimond have announced Vimond’s entry into the You.i TV partner programme as part of a joint commitment to accelerate global availability of cross-platform video experiences.
You.i TV and Vimond are providing SVOD and TV Everywhere solutions with differentiated one-stop access to the front- and back-end elements needed to achieve direct-to-consumer success. The collaboration allows customers to leverage the combined power of the Vimond Platform, a multi-tenant architecture that includes tools and controls needed to manage and deliver multi-format OTT services, and the You.i Engine experience platform, which expedites availability of best-in-class video apps at scale.
The Vimond Platform covers the full scope of OTT back-end operations, from ingest and encoding to conditional access and business intelligence reporting. Vimond provides the platform for many award-winning TV Everywhere services, including Thomson Reuters, Swedish TV4 Play, TV 2, RiksTV and NRK in Norway, MTV in Finland, and C-More in Northern Europe. Vimond has also delivered SVOD services for iflix in SE Asia and for Comcast in the US.
“Vimond’s customer base has been built on the strength of our tool set that offers comprehensive answers to our customers’ growing DTC businesses,” said Stein Erik Sorhaug, VP, product strategy for Vimond.
“Our partnership with You.i TV creates significant new value for our customers by giving them the opportunity to create video app experiences that differentiate their offerings and engage viewers across the vast universe of smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, set-top boxes and gaming consoles.”
“You.i TV and our partners are reshaping the TV landscape by delivering ‘user first’ experiences that are more engaging and better for our customers’ businesses,” said Susan Odle, director of business partners for You.i TV.
“By adding Vimond to our Partner Program, we’re increasing our ability to offer the advantages of the You.i Engine development environment within solutions that are designed to meet each video service provider’s needs.”
