our mission was – and is – on target with needs that increased usage may reveal today.

We can’t pretend that we foresaw the magnitude of the current situation when we launched Quickplay a few weeks ago, but we can say that our mission was – and is – on target with needs that increased usage may reveal today. When we acquired Quickplay’s modular platform we made dramatic improvements, notably the implementation of AI and machine learning. Our mission is to deliver at scale the true personalization, engagement and service reliability that your customers expect. We can talk more about how that can help you when the time is right.

For now, we all have no bigger concern than the health and safety of our families and friends in the face of the coronavirus. While business decisions may not be top of mind, we look forward to bringing the passion and expertise of our team to innovative thinkers across the industry – to discuss needs, solve problems and build successful OTT businesses. We invite you to learn more about Quickplay and how we can help make your OTT service everything you and your subscribers expect it to be.
