In a fast-moving market with a greater focus on profitability, many video service providers are considering the pros, cons and potential savings of transitioning from custom, in-house solutions to SaaS. Transitioning from in-house development to leveraging experienced OTT platform providers presents a strategic opportunity for existing operators that provides access to comprehensive end-to-end solutions, specialist expertise and reduced costs.

Our three panellists can share extensive experience in supporting service providers in their transitions. Accedo will share trends in broadcaster migration from in-house cable solutions to SaaS infrastructure. Magine Pro and Smartlabs have extensive and varied experience in managing transitions and the practicalities of moving customers from legacy systems. The lessons are equally relevant to new entrants.
