Accedo, the video experience pioneer, has announced the market introduction of a sports solution at NAB in Las Vegas. It enables sports service providers to launch OTT and Direct-to-Consumer services featuring Live, Catch Up and On Demand video to all major platforms.   Accedo’s new solution allows sports service providers to provide fans with a personalized user experience and includes powerful AI-driven business intelligence features. It makes full use of Accedo’s award-winning Accedo One cloud platform, which powered more than 8 Million daily users during main sporting events in June and July 2018, largely driven by football and cricket.   Michael Lantz, CEO, Accedo, commented: “Sport is one of the key drivers of live video consumption, and it has one of the most advanced sets of UX requirements on the market. We believe that modern sports service providers need to be able to continually optimize and control their OTT service to keep fans engaged and loyal. Accedo’s award winning products and solutions provide the foundation for a successful sports service.”   The Accedo sports solution contains a range of features and can be customized to customer requirements.
