Strategic Context

The global pay-TV landscape was undergoing structural disruption driven by:

  • Rapid consumer migration from satellite and cable to IP-based streaming

    • Video on Demand (VOD)
    • Live streaming
    • Third-party application integration
  • Enable cloud scalability and multi-tenant operations
  • Accelerate time-to-market while minimizing disruption to existing operations
