Sky Italia taps Witbe for VOD monitoring

Witbe, the next generation quality monitoring company, today announced that Sky Italia, IPTV leader in Italy, selected their Assets Publication Monitoring solution to secure their multi-screen VoD revenues. Massimo Bertolotti, Head of Engineering and Innovation at SKY Italia, says SKYGO offers its customers new VoD and catch-up assets every day, available in two technologies (HLS, HSS) and six to seven profiles.

“Our process is fully automated to ensure on-the-fly publication as expected by our customers,” he explains. “However, considering the high complexity of the CDN infrastructure, we soon realized we needed to implement some processes for assets test automation. We have been using Witbe OTT-CDN monitoring solution for months for hundreds of our live streams. As we have now a strong business focus on on-demand contents, we naturally selected Witbe “OTT on-demand Assets Publication Monitoring solution” to help us achieve our goals and guarantee our customers satisfaction.”

Witbe, a provider of OTT & CDN monitoring solutions, says the latest version of their “OTT on-demand Assets Publication Monitoring solution” enables broadcasters, telcos, cable companies and others to automatically validate new asset publication and also be alerted in case of an issue. Users can also track the issues on the publication chain and optimize their processes thanks to synthetic dashboards.

Witbe solutions at SKY Italia are integrated by COMSYTEC-CVE.
