A majority of operators are using bundling to deploy various application packages and service bundles targeted at different user segments. Subscribers, in turn, expect to see a cost benefit from bundling. Therefore, the operator must contain the total cost of ownership for deploying revenue generating application services on a middleware platform.

Faster integration time and lower integration cost decreases CAPEX investment. As a result, SeaChange offers a middleware platform that is open, modular and extensible.

• Open Architecture
• Operators are not tied to a proprietary end-to-end system. We support and implement open standards such as HTML, Javascript, XML, Java, CORBA, MPEG-2/4 and DVB-SI.
• Lowest cost end-to-end solution
• Our system components integrate seamlessly with existing OSS (Operations Support Systems) and BSS (Backoffice Support Systems).
• Operators can mix and match best-of-breed 3rd party system components such as subscriber management; product and content management, packaging and pricing; billing and transaction processing; and security & encryption services and thus arrive at the lowest cost solution.
• Given our experience in working with various system component vendors, we can control overall integration costs.
• Lower set-top box (STB) investment

SeaChange’s platform runs on low footprint, cost-effective, STBs backed by our extensive porting experience. You can deploy multiple STBs in different targeted service areas thus providing operators greater negotiating leverage with STB vendors.
