AssetHouse, the leaders in Digital Proposition Management software for on-demand entertainment service providers, today announced the availability of a hot new white paper, entitled 'Build it and they might not come: getting the delivery infrastructure right for TV 2.0.'
The eight page briefing document is essential reading for all 'on-demand' entertainment providers, and describes how the YouTube effect is influencing new on-demand consumers; how to build a flexible TV 2.0 infrastructure capable of exploiting new viewer habits; how to avoid recent, expensive mistakes made by 'on-demand' service providers; and 'Return on Content' – a new metric for the on-demand world.
At the same time, the company is formally unveiling its new web site and 'Entertainment 2.0' blog. Designed to cover all the market-shaping aspects of the birth of a new entertainment era, the new blog presents AssetHouse's latest commercial and technical thinking, fast responses to market developments and a constantly moving interactive debate involving key industry people, ideas and announcements. Recent posts include: IPTV 1.0 vs IPTV 2.0; The Tragic Quadrant: how the back-end players map out; and The Dirty Secret of IPTV. It can be found at: http://www.assethouse.com/
The start of 2008 also marks an important point for the company and the wider entertainment on-demand and IPTV marketplace. An array of recent AssetHouse partnerships is shifting the industry into fast forward mode - with the aim of promoting and providing an altogether more flexible infrastructure that will allow service providers to deliver meaningful and compelling on-demand and IPTV content products to highly motivated consumers.
Recent partnering initiatives from AssetHouse include reseller deals with Tech Mahindra in Asia and a joint marketing intiative with Nortel.
Tech Mahindra - one of Asia's entertainment powerhouses - has agreed to sell Asset Factory™, AssetHouse's Digital Product Management solution, as a part of its Asian IPTV rollout strategy. This is a major play that will let any single content operation manage products across IPTV, Broadband and Mobile delivery channels.
Nortel Solutions has signed a Heads of Agreement with AssetHouse to deliver its next generation TV 2.0 infrastructure globally.
