Ateme Launches Ateme+ Software As A Service

Video processing and streaming from Ateme is now cloud-centric with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), following today’s launch of Ateme+, according to a company statement. “The service makes Ateme’s award-winning solutions available in a more agile business model, bringing transformative capabilities and cloud-based benefits to Ateme customers all over the world,” the statement said.

“We are increasingly seeing demand for more flexibility in content processing and delivery – in terms of both the business model and the scale. Ateme+ truly delivers on these requirements, while also ensuring the superior quality of experience our customers expect from Ateme,” commented Jean-Louis Lods, Vice President of Media & Monetization at Ateme.

By adopting Ateme+, Ateme said broadcasters, service providers and streaming platforms will only pay for the functionality and capacity they need when they need it, shifting spend away from Capex investment and toward a more flexible and predictable operational cost model. With an easy-to-use management console, Ateme+ also enables frictionless onboarding, ensuring quicker time to value and lower overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), according to Ateme.

“This is the beginning of a new chapter, giving more choice to video service providers,” said Rémi Beaudouin, Chief Strategy Officer at Ateme. “They can now choose between the traditional licensing model, Software as a Service, or a hybrid model where they mix the two.”

Ateme developed Ateme+ as a “cloud-agnostic” platform, the statment said. It will be delivered using optimized compute including on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. Supporting any resolution, Ateme+ is available as a subscription or pay-as-you-go service and is fully scalable according to customer needs, with built-in redundancy to maximize uptime and reliability.

The Ateme+ SaaS offering enables customization options and provides a ‘single pane of glass’ management for configuration, monitoring, user management and key metrics. In addition, Ateme takes care of scaling the platform as well as implementing regular product updates to ensure customers benefit from a service that offers maximum flexibility and agility.
