Multitenant Multi-Platform Video Streaming Platform Development for Broadcasters

Broadcasting organizations are seeking to improve audience accessibility and engagement by delivering live and on-demand video content across multiple digital platforms. Current infrastructure limitations restrict content reach, and lack of a scalable, customizable multiscreen solution hampers efforts to expand viewership, especially across different stations with unique branding and content management needs.

A mid to large-scale broadcasting organization seeking to expand audience reach through a scalable, multiscreen OTT video platform with multitenant architecture.
