Quickplay and Evergent Team Up to Deepen OTT Subscriber Relationships
Partnership boosts management and flexible monetization to build long-term value
Toronto, ON, Canada and Sunnyvale, CA, Jan. 13, 2021 – Quickplay and Evergent Technologies are integrating their cloud-based capabilities to help OTT and pay-TV providers deliver end-to-end solutions that optimize and monetize audiences.
The partnership brings together the customer engagement power of Quickplay’s Content Management System (CMS) and integrated revenue and customer management of Evergent’s OTT and traditional video solution to significantly enhance user and subscriber management within video ecosystems.
Quickplay’s CMS is a core element of a platform built on Gen5 architecture and delivering step-changes in performance, flexibility and scale.
