Do you want to retain your audiences?

 

Do you want to know who your right audience is and how to acquire them?

 

Do you want to improve your content and marketing ROI?

 

OTT content creation is not a problem anymore but retaining viewership is a task. Imagine working super hard for months to create a art masterpiece. You finally get a gallery to showcase it, but the gallery officials won’t tell you how many tickets they sell, who visits the gallery or the number of people who entered the area where your masterpiece is showcased or even the number of people who actually stopped to look at your art.

 

 

“Viewers are moving more towards over the top (OTT) video content, but the varied and flexible set of content options is increasing ongoing customer churn. Getting to the hearts and minds of OTT content viewers has never been easier, so understanding customer characteristics and isolating the churn symptoms are two important factors that form the base for a strong analytics engine said Dave Maan, COO at Corpus Media Labs.” Dave says, “In-depth Content and App analytics surely helps OTT providers retain customers and reduce churn”

 

Measuring OTT Success with Corpus Advanced Analytics Engine

 

Corpus Advanced Analytics leverage OTT real-time viewer watch data, user wise and device wise usage data which are generated on an interactive real-time customizable dashboard on the Corpus Video Platform. Corpus enables an OTT provider with indicative analytics engine which is based on deep learning algorithms. Leveraging the results generated from these algorithms, Corpus advanced analytics engine can give an OTT provider the ability to make a recommendation that statistically will give them the results that they are looking for.

 

The Corpus Video Platform, now enabled with Corpus Advanced Analytics engine, influences every phase of the customer journey on the OTT platform, providing useful insights to drive results. Corpus platform helps the OTT providers and the content owners achieve the following:

“Corpus Advanced Analytics engine provides our customers with all the insights needed to achieve effective OTT business outcomes and helps them make decisions about which programming choices they need to make and how to market to their audiences for effective, repeatable and predictable up-sell and cross-sell opportunities. This engine enables our customers to stay ahead in the existing OTT landscape” says Dave Maan.

Corpus and Jiuzhou have joined hands to offer an STB solution bundled with value added services (VAS) applications to enable operators monetize their digital investments and achieve faster ROI and profitability. This solution is available for MPEG4 Standard definition and High definition version with ABV and NSTV Conditional access systems.

 

It's a great benefit to the Indian cable TV MSOs to opt for the pre-integrated VAS Ready STB as it will increase their per subscriber valuation with the revenue generation potential on each STB deployed. Adnet, Horoscope, Darshan, LifeStyle, Cooking, Box Office, TV Anywhere, and Real Estate are few applications that come bundled with the STB. Cable MSOs can now differentiate their offering from their incumbent peers and gain market share.

Exponential technological advances are forcing companies to reexamine their business models. The Cable and Satellite T.V industry must also position itself to leverage new inventions. Multi System Operators (MSOs) are now being presented with the opportunity to monetize the Internet of Things (IoT). However, there are barriers to the adoption of IoT namely: cost, complexity and security. Therefore, MSOs must be innovative to ameliorate the barriers and Corpus, a cutting edge software solutions company, can help them to this end.

 

Internet of Things (IoT)

MSOs are already losing revenue due to phenomenon of 'cord-cutting' and need to discover additional revenue streams. The niche IoT space of smart/connected homes provides fertile ground, especially since MSOs are inherently well suited for this market as they are the last mile operators and have a proven track record in providing households with bandwidth and data. However, there are barriers to the adoption of IoT by households and this is where MSOs can provide solutions with the help of Corpus.

 

Barriers to the adoption of IoT: Cost, Complexity and Security

'Smart home' devices from different manufacturers have their own communication protocols and require their own hubs and apps. This makes it costly and complex for households to adopt them. Furthermore, even though the devices are 'connected' they are also disconnected from each other. MSOs can work with Corpus to reduce the costs by integrating the IoT devices with Entertainment. Corpus will use its middleware platform to integrate the different IoT device mobile apps into a single app for STBs that will be featured on the TV screen. The middleware integration solution creates a seamless and intuitive dashboard providing a room temperature control, security camera feed, baby crib camera feed etc. on the same screen that is playing a movie for the end user, thereby overcoming the barrier of complexity. Thus, Corpus helps to create a single ecosystem where all connected devices can converge. This also improves security as it reduces the access points to one device in the network.

In the end, MSOs can increase their ARPUs because Corpus helps them remove the barriers to the adoption of IoT by integrating IoT devices with Entertainment for a seamless and intuitive UX for the subscribers.
