Amdocs' (DOX) Vubiquity to Fuel A+E Networks' VOD Services
Read MoreHide Full Article
Amdocs (DOX - Free Report) announced that its Vubiquity platform has been selected by A+E Networks to handle the latter’s Video-on-Demand (VOD) Transport & Content Distribution Services. Vubiquity specializes in managing and distributing various media, including movies and TV shows, across platforms like VOD, direct-to-consumer streaming services via over-the-top platforms and broadcast networks.
DOX’s Vubiquity is set to use MetaVU technology, which is a cloud-based metadata management platform. MetaVU aggregates data from diverse sources like Gracenote, Rotten Tomato and IMDB to provide extensive genres, keywords and mood categories, enabling intelligent recommendations that, in turn, increase the engagement rate of the viewers. These functionalities are integrated with a user-friendly interface and Application Programming Interface, ensuring effortless management.
Vubiquity intends to use this technology to deploy content across a range of VOD platforms, encompassing streaming services and pay-TV providers. A+E Networks aims to deploy this solution across its primary brands, such as A&E, Lifetime, The History Channel, LMN and FYI.
Amdocs is capitalizing on a growing partner base. Apart from its collaboration with A+E Networks, it has collaborated with Disney to provide direct-to-consumer support. Additionally, DOX was selected by Lionsgate (LGF.A - Free Report) to transition the latter’s content library to a cloud-based platform.
Working alongside Lionsgate, Amdocs aims to convert LGF.A’s collection of 18,000 film and TV titles into a cloud-based content library, enhancing search capabilities and facilitating targeted content distribution across global regions.
Nevertheless, DOX is significantly affected by the volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. On its fourth-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings call, the company indicated that it foresees ongoing effects of foreign-exchange fluctuations on both revenues and non-GAAP net interest, among other expenses.
