Worldwide Leader in Digital
On-Demand Systems for Broadband Becomes Latest Member of
Asia Pacific VoD Technology Alliance
Singapore, October 5, 2006 - ANYTIME, Asia Pacific’s
leading Video on-Demand channel (VoD), today announced that
Concurrent (Nasdaq: CCUR), a worldwide leader of on-demand
technology that is shaping the future of television, has
joined the ANYTIME Technology Partner Program.
The ANYTIME Technology Partner Program is a collaboration
between ANYTIME and the world’s leading VoD technology
vendors, and aims to reduce the time to deploy secure, quality,
VoD services in Asia Pacific. Within this alliance, technology
vendors can join together to develop best practices in delivering
and marketing VoD services, while ensuring process compliance
and data flow compatibility from publishing, to billing
API’s and royalty reporting.
Founded in 1966, Concurrent delivers a range of on-demand
and real-time solutions to a diverse global customer base
spanning North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. It joins
Verimatrix as a member of the program.
ANYTIME Chief Technology Officer Craig Ginsberg believes
Concurrent’s long history of innovation and expertise
in on-demand and real-time technologies will be an asset
to all members of the ANYTIME Technology Partner Program.
“Over the years, Concurrent’s hardware and software
solutions have been associated with all leading edge VoD
deployments around the world,” he said.
“Their history of providing compelling VoD platforms
is unmatched. This experience and expertise will immediately
extend the value that the ANYTIME Technology Partner Program
brings to technology vendors and existing or potential VoD
carriers in Asia Pacific. “
“We are eager to make a major contribution to developing
VoD deployments across Asia Pacific, and proud to be selected
by ANYTIME to join their Technology Partner Program,”
Concurrent chief executive officer Gary Trimm offered. “Demand
for VoD services grows greater everyday. For the average
telco, ISP or digital cable operator, it can be a difficult
and complex process. It’s important that leading vendors
in this space work together to make VoD deployments as painless
and efficient as possible.”
The ANYTIME Technology Partner Program has two levels of
agreement – technology compliance, and cooperation
and co-marketing. If accepted into the program, vendors
can work with ANYTIME to ensure their products, services
or solutions comply with the highest industry standards
for VoD content delivery.
The Partner Program is open to set-top box (STB) manufacturers,
middleware vendors, conditional access and DRM hardware
and software makers, VoD server manufacturers, and systems
integrators. Vendor agnostic, the program ensures that telcos,
ISPs and digital cable providers receive impartial advice
and information on VoD delivery technology.
