ThinkAnalytics, the leading global provider of content discovery and viewer insight solutions, and 3 Screen Solutions (3SS), the leader in software for set-top boxes (STB) and multiscreen entertainment, announced a partnership and revealed that at IBC 2022, they will debut a new pre-integrated solution that transforms user experience (UX) testing and optimization, helping operators increase viewer engagement and reduce churn.
3Ready Control Center 3.0, 3SS’ new, next-generation UX management platform, is now pre-integrated with Think360, ThinkAnalytics’ content discovery and analytics platform, allowing customers to deploy user experiences that maximize monetization opportunities by taking advantage of a data-driven approach to continuous improvement. A valuable aspect of the solution is that users need no technical expertise, lowering costs, and accelerating time-to-market.
The pre-integrated solution allows customers to conduct rapid A/B testing of the complete UX using real-time granular data capture for ultra-personalized viewer experiences. 3Ready Control Center 3.0 creates new possibilities for editors to manage and measure A/B configurations and their success while Think360 fine-tunes and analyzes the data for actionable insights.
Editors can curate, customize and orchestrate the entire UX – for a page, a swimlane or a single item and its cover art – for all device apps. Any aspects of the UI/UX, including content and color, can be tested live and adaptations can be deployed instantly using easy-to-use dashboards for analysis of viewer reactions and actionable metrics.
The partners have previously collaborated in major operator projects, including at Proximus in Belgium. Their technologies are currently being deployed at a soon to be announced major North American operator.
