The newly launched French streaming service Salto has chosen an end-to-end solution from Bedrock, a joint-venture technology company owned by Groupe M6 and RTL Group.
The solution aggregates the best of two worlds, namely a leading broadcast experience with 20 live channels including catch-up services and live sports events, and a premium SVOD catalogue with 10,000+ hours of all genres and formats.
Salto uses Bedrock’s advanced back-office and data tools to provide in depth personalisation, and a unique kind of editorialisation and design, including human- curated sections.
Its subscribers get a fresh and unified user experience on a wide range of OTT devices, including iOS, Android, Smart TVs, Chromecast, Apple TV, Android TV and web, all developed by Bedrock.
Salto also relies on Bedrock’s capabilities for payments, customer relationship management, revenue optimisation and many other features set by the request for proposal won in 2019.
Commenting on the development, Jonas Engwall, CEO at Bedrock, said: “Bedrock is one of a few European streaming-tech companies with the scale and expertise needed to deliver a user experience on par with the global streaming giants. We are proud to power such a unique SVOD platform as Salto and we look forward to a long and fruitful partnership”.
Thomas Follin, CEO at Salto, added: “Bedrock’s technology empowers Salto to become a powerful streaming service pushing the TV experience forward. Our partnership allows us to rely on Bedrock’s best-in-class streaming technology with promising potential. I would like to thank Bedrock’s teams for their hard work and contribution to Salto’s successful launch”.
