Accenture has a long history of providing video capabilities to service providers. The Accenture Video Solution, which has been deployed to several large video providers, delivers a seamless consumer experience for accessing linear video content, such as traditional, real-time video, through the broadcast network, as well as non-linear services, such as catch-up TV and video on demand through a broadband network. These services can be delivered to virtually any IP-enabled device: connected TVs, set-top boxes, gaming consoles tablets, PCs and mobile phones.
In October 2012, Accenture acquired the software and skills of Nokia Siemens Networks IPTV business. The combination of the recently acquired Nokia Siemens Networks IPTV assets with AVS now creates the industry’s most comprehensive, feature-rich video software and services platform currently available for video service providers and their subscribers.
The acquisition has added key IPTV skills and experience to Accenture’s existing over-the-top video capabilities, enabling Accenture to provide end-to-end technology integration services to any vendor for any video platform. Accenture can now help provide end users with a dynamic and interactive video experience with virtually any video content, in any format, across every network, on any device–from smart phones and tablets to personal computers and television sets.
Additionally, Accenture’s enhanced broadband video services–with a platform that manages seamless integration of devices–gives end users the ability to control their viewing experience.
