iStreamPlanet announced its new “Orbis” Direct-To-Consumer Platform. With Orbis, content owners, sports leagues, traditional and virtual MVPDs can bring their content directly to fans in a personalized experience, with flexible monetization options for their business needs. As delivering high quality video is essential to the fans, Orbis is deeply integrated with iStreamPlanet’s Aventus Media Processing Suite and together the two product families provide a comprehensive fan-centric solution.
Orbis tackles the accelerating trend of fans demanding more options to purchase and view their favorite content. Support for multiple device platforms, both live and VOD content, flexible packaging and purchase options, simple discovery, and personalized video recommendations are hallmarks of a compelling OTT experience. Orbis was designed from the ground-up to exceed the fan expectation and provide a platform for continuous innovation.
Data-driven insights and analysis are core iStreamPlanet design principles. Orbis gives the business owner the analytics, personalization, and upsell tools needed to optimize fan satisfaction and engagement.
Hania Poole, GM of B/R Live, said “We have an ambitious vision for Bleacher Report Live, a sports marketplace that offers fans unprecedented choice and flexibility to consume their favorite sports content. We chose iStreamPlanet’s Orbis platform for the premium media processing infrastructure, along with their willingness to partner, customize and deliver a fan-first solution.” Mio Babic, Founder, President, and CEO of iStreamPlanet, added “Our team is passionate about innovation and finding ways to create more value for our customers. We’re thrilled to have B/R Live launch on Orbis and deliver on our vision of deeply personalized fan experience.”
