Pain Points

• Unifies multi-cast and OTT infrastructure for richer analytics and efficient operations
• MediaFirst is hosted in a DevOps delivery-mode out of Microsoft Azure to make testing and migration into Production a more granular and controlled mechanism for customers, and it reduces CAPEX investments
• Built to scale from the smallest operator of 50K subs to the largest with 10's of millions of subscribers. We have our pedigree from Mediaroom which is the most widely deployed IPTV middleware solution in the world. Our experience is unsurpassed. This extends to global experience in all markets whereas many of our competitors are niche-focused specifically in parts of Europe or Asia or Latin America.
