Managed Services

Free yourself from “every day” technology hassles. A full suite of Managed Services to serve your needs.

Concentrate on delighting your consumers

As competition intensifies, broadcasters and pay-TV operators need to focus more than ever on their core activities: entertaining viewers with great content and exceptional customer experience. Consumers don’t really care who delivers their content or how, but they care deeply about getting their favorite content anytime, anywhere, and on any device.

Content delivery is increasingly complex and costly

As technology improves the way content gets to consumers, there’s a corresponding growth in behind-the-scenes complexity for operators. Specialist hardware and skills are required to optimize video compression, content security and video distribution for both linear and on-demand viewing. For broadcasters and pay-TV operators, this means investing in an array of expensive technology and expert staff, plus adequate disaster recovery arrangements.

Managed Services take away the burden of maintaining the infrastructure underpinning broadcast and online content delivery. Whether you need to optimize and support existing systems or design and deploy a new platform, Irdeto’s experts take care of the technology, leaving operators free to focus on attracting and engaging viewers.

Always on-budget. Always in control of quality, security and costs.

Content security and distribution requires a web of complex interconnected technologies that must be managed by experienced specialists.

Predictable spending

Businesses thrive on consistency, but technology projects are notorious for ballooning budgets. With Managed Services, there’s a reliable and predictable cost structure from day one. Operators can even choose a pure Opex model that eases the pressure on cash flow, especially at the start of a major project.

Insurance for your business
