Digital Convergence Technologies: Enhancing Content Delivery and Monetization with OTT Services and Consulting
Vineet Dhawan, CEO
The world of OTT today has begun to increasingly merge with the world of core telecom services and is growing exponentially. Be it easy access to high quality engaging content or the availability of specialist service providers that offer premium content, these factors have attracted more consumers and opened up opportunities for niche OTT services. According to Media Partner Asia, the number of active OTT video subscribers in India will be 105 million by 2020.
However, despite these opportunities the OTT segment is still plagued by several challenges. Companies seeking to create a powerful online video presence are oftenintimidated by the technology requirements. Some of the challenges faced by content owners striking out on their own are -
1) Complexity and infrastructure of building the platform
2) Boosting revenue and maximizing the value of video assets
3) Reaching a global target audience and ensuring viewer retention
4) Providing a multi-device viewing
