AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS — Edgio, together with streaming technology providers Accedo, Bitmovin, Grabyo, and Vimond, have come together for a strategic partnership that seeks to address a growing need faced by media and entertainment when it comes to delivering OTT video — the ability to quickly assemble and manage a streaming ecosystem that delivers high-quality linear, live or on-demand video.
Edgio is leading the alliance as a Managed Service Provider, working with companies to integrate technologies across the entire streaming tech stack, from content production, personalization and distribution to user experience and monetization. “This not only simplifies the intricate processes associated with delivering and managing streaming workflows, it also helps provide a frictionless entry into the market,” Phoenix-based Edgio notes.
As Managed Service Provider, Edgio will provide a single point of contact for all support needs, regardless of vendor.
“For media companies, piecing together an ecosystem like this on their own would be costly, time-consuming, and risky,” said Eric Black, Edgio’s Chief Technology Officer and Media GM. “By bringing together companies at the forefront of streaming and managing the entire process under one service partner, media companies can focus on creating innovative content versus navigating the complexities of a streaming workflow.”
At launch, the partner ecosystem includes:
Accedo: App Development — Accedo is pre-integrated with Vimond and Bitmovin to provide a seamless end-to-end solution.
Bitmovin: Video Player + Analytics
Edgio: Uplynk Platform, CDN Delivery, and Managed Service Provider
Grabyo: Clipping & Live Production
Vimond: Content Management System (CMS)
Each of the companies will be demonstrating their technologies at IBC2023, RAI Amsterdam, September 15-18, 2023. Accedo: Hall 5, Stand F40; Bitmovin Hall 5, stand D72; Edgio, Hall 5 stand F18; Grabyo, Hall 5, Stand A20; Vimond, Hall 5, Stand H59.
