According to a report by DTVR, OTT services are booming globally as consumers flock to connected devices for content; creating a market opportunity of nearly $65 billion over the next five years.
Using Ooyala AppStudio, broadcasters, publishers and media companies can quickly launch, manage and monetize new OTT offerings.

An out-of-the-box solution, it promises to ensure customers can deploy premium OTT experiences on time and on budget, with a simple, easy-to-use interface.
As such, it does not require highly technical staff to build or manage services. Content providers can automate the build of OTT apps directly within the Ooyala AppStudio console for any device, supporting apps for Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Chromecast as well as on iOS, Android and the web. No engineering is required, drastically reducing time-to-market as well as development and personnel-associated costs.
