Loading ...Microsoft Corp. is launching a new program that will help Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) providers upgrade their IPTV platforms with the Redmond, Wash. software giant.
The Microsoft Mediaroom Migration Program will assess and provide tools for service providers looking to migrate. This includes business and technical workshops to review set-top-box portability, risk-benefit tools to compare lifetime customer value, and network compatibility and audio-visual head-end interoperability.
“As the IPTV market matures, we’re seeing interest from operators on first-generation platforms and homegrown solutions to migrate to Microsoft Mediaroom,” Ben Huang, director of product management for Microsoft Mediaroom, said in a release. “These service providers need to add high-definition and advanced digital video recording (DVR) and video-on-demand features that are now fundamental to any competitive TV offering, and they want to remain competitive by being able to easily deploy advanced interactive applications.”
The company unveiled the new migration strategy at this week’s IBC2008 conference in the Netherlands.
