LogicaCMG: Customized Entertainment Experience key to convergence success for cable & broadband oper
Media services portal brings on-demand digital cable TV experience to quad-play mobile services
[USPRwire, Mon May 07 2007] While this year’s Cable Show will focus on the big picture—the convergence of video, voice, broadband and mobility—LogicaCMG is focusing on the individual. LogicaCMG Telecoms Products, the leader in IP-based voicemail services for the cable and broadband market, is demonstrating its Customized Entertainment Experience at the event.
The Experience brings the on-demand digital cable TV experience to quad-play mobile services, helping cable and broadband operators drive revenue and grow subscribers. LogicaCMG recently announced the sale of its Telecoms Products business to a consortium of private equity buyers, subject to employee consultation and regulatory approval. Once the transaction closes the Telecoms Products business will trade under the new brand, Acision (www.acision.com).
The Customized Entertainment Experience, powered by the LogicaCMG’s Media Services Portal, features ringtones, wallpapers and mobile music—as well as a comprehensive set of management tools that allow users to discover, purchase and access multimedia content.
Based on LogicaCMG’s established Media Services Portal, the Experience provides fully integrated content management, including both rights and device management—allowing the centralized storage and management of content across multiple devices such as mobile handsets, computers and IP-based home and business phone systems.
The Customized Entertainment Experience gives cable operators a blueprint for moving beyond TV, Internet and voice—helping to ensure that they remain competitive in the rapidly evolving and converging telecommunications space.
“An entertainment experience completely customized for each subscriber is one way that operators can take full advantage of converged networks,” said Wayne Irwin, president, North America, LogicaCMG Telecoms Products. “Our cable and broadband customers know that a successful convergence play requires more than just adding voice. By leveraging existing media and content relationships, cable operators have a distinct advantage in the race to quad-play success. The LogicaCMG Customized Entertainment Experience shows the real benefits of convergence—beyond just bundle discounts. Delivering customized content when and where subscribers want it—and making it easy to find and manage—is key to the long term success of converged operators.”
The Media Services Portal allows network operators and service providers to create revenue-generating rich media applications, and can be deployed independently or as an extension of a company’s existing LogicaCMG IP Voicemail or Videomail installation.
