Piksel Unveils Content Service for Service Providers & ISPs to Start OTT Video Delivery

Piksel, a global provider of video monetization software, has launched Piksel Content Services, a service to manage all stages of the content acquisition process for new OTT players, including the negotiating and licensing of content rights. Piksel's content service aims to help new entrants to the market with a full “procurement to playout” solution. 

According to Piksel, the service will appeal to the growing number of businesses, including telecom operators and internet service providers (ISPs) that have subscriber bases and potential audiences but lack the content and relationships with studios needed to venture into OTT video delivery.

Piksel Content Services will be provided to customers as an addition to Piksel’s Digital Showcase solution, a SaaS-based video platform which enables content owners, aggregators and distributors to integrate live, linear and on-demand programming into a multiscreen environment. The combination of Piksel’s video platform and its tailored content offer means that customers have an all-in-one service and will be able to avoid the difficulties and costs of directly brokering deals with studios, added Piksel.

Monica Piriz, VP of Content Acquisition and Strategy
 I’m excited to join Piksel at such a pivotal time for the company, as it makes a game-changing move to open up the OTT market to a whole new segment. The potential for a new wave of OTT players from less ‘traditional’ backgrounds has been growing for a while, but until now there hasn’t been the right incentive out there to support businesses wanting to make this leap. Piksel is now bridging that gap but without the usual price-tag, and taking a compelling proposition to this new sector.

Kevin Joyce, Chief Commercial Officer at Piksel
We’re the only company in the market today to offer bespoke content acquisition into our online video proposition, which shows the confidence we have in our services-led business model. Our heritage in online video has helped us understand that services are just as important as first-class technology when it comes to the success of our customers. By handling these aspects – and especially content acquisition – we do the heavy lifting required to build an OTT business, which can often be a daunting and difficult process.
