Insight Into the Global Video Managed Services MarketNEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Over-the-top (OTT) video delivery is inherently complex due to the fragmentation and changes in technologies across a number of workflow aspects. Managed services can help this process by accelerating time to market, reducing risk, and mitigating the need for experimental capital investments in on-premise equipment and resources. This market insight explores the size of the global video managed services market and presents revenue forecasts and key trends. It also outlines the existing competitive landscape and future growth opportunities. - The market's regional segmentation into North America and Latin America (NALA); Europe and the Middle East (EMEA); and Asia-Pacific (APAC) are also shown below. Complexity of OTT Services and Role of Managed Services - OTT video delivery is inherently complex, due to the fragmentation and changing technologies across a number of aspects of the workflow: o There are over types of connected devices in use, each with over vendors and at least three significant platforms per category. As a result, the combinatorial matrix, even for service providers to reach at least 80 percent of subscribers, is overwhelming. o There are several compression and streaming technologies, including SD, SD+, HD, and 4K resolutions with HDR on the way. This also includes AVC, HEVC, and VP9 compression; HLS, HDS, and MPEG-DASH, SmoothStreaming and even RTSP and RTMP streaming; and HTML5 and native apps for playback. o Broadcast compliance regulations such as closed-captioning, censorship, and interchange formats are increasingly being enforced on OTT content as well. These vary by region or even country, and it is difficult for broadcasters seeking an international reach for their content to stay on top of creation, transmission, and rendering technologies for each of these. - For pay-TV service providers, the need to provide companion OTT services is well understood. The ultimate goal for these operators is to deliver a high-quality, branded, differentiated service—at par with managed services on set-top boxes—on the wide range of unmanaged consumer-video devices that are increasingly being used by consumers. While Return On Investment (ROI) remains uncertain, the need to quickly roll out OTT content is a competitive imperative. Managed services can help by accelerating the time-to-market, reducing risk, and mitigating the need for experimental capital investments in on-premises equipment and resources. - For all content companies, the best managed-service providers serve as growth partners for content companies. Vendors in this market are different not only in terms of best-of-breed technologies but also reliable business guidance, such that customers may flourish in a disrupted, highly competitive market.
