Sky Cable’s news service is powered by
Accenture’s flagship video service solution for Southeast Asia
SKY subscribers in the Philippines can now watch and stream
their favorite TV shows and movies from cable TV or online anytime,
anywhere and on any screen, using Sky on Demand – SKY Cable
Corporation’s newest service – which is powered by the Accenture
Video Solution.
SKY On Demand is an over-the-top (OTT) service that leverages
the power of digital technology to allow subscribers to quickly and
easily watch their favorite shows, including foreign and local live
channels, as well as blockbuster movies. Similar to the usual
home cable subscription, Sky on Demand lets subscribers watch shows
on ABS-CBN, AXN, History Channel, Food Network, Warner TV, Disney
Channel, Basketball TV and many other channels through their
computers and mobile devices.
The service is based on the Accenture Video Solution – an open,
micro-modular and scalable software platform that enables cable
providers, broadcasters and operators to quickly deploy their
digital video services for consumers over managed and unmanaged
devices, with a highly engaging and personalized user
experience.
“I’m proud that Accenture is at the forefront of the
ground-breaking Sky on Demand service, thanks to our technology
consulting capabilities and the Accenture Video Solution platform,
which has made a great impact on the way Filipinos use and
experience technology,” said Accenture country managing director
Lito Tayag regarding the company’s continuing collaboration with
ABS-CBN and its subsidiaries, ABS-CBN Convergence and SKY Cable
Corporation.
Jerome Almirante, SKY Cable Corporation’s Digital and OTT head,
said, “By leveraging the latest advancements in digital technology,
Accenture’s broad technology consulting expertise and the Accenture
Video Solution platform, Sky on Demand enables us to address our
customers’ evolving and growing needs for mobile and on-demand
video solutions.”
SKY on Demand is currently available to all SKYcable,
SKYbroadband and SKYmobi subscribers. The mobile application can be
downloaded from the App Store and Google Play. Subscribers can
also watch on their PCs or TV sets using a SKYcable digibox.
Options are available for live streaming of local and foreign shows
depending on the type of SKYcable or Skybroadband subscription
plan.
