IPTV Consulting business continues to grow

BCi’s IPTV Consulting business grows despite recession

Mark Hooper BCi’s Director of Operations said today that BCi had seen continued growth in their IPTV Consulting business despite the pressures of the downturn.

Mark Hooper commented:

“The timing of the downturn co-incided with the emergence of IPTV technologies in the living room and on our computers and mobile devices.

Back in 2001 when the so called ‘dot com crash’ hit - it had the effect of halting all new developments. A lot of bad ideas and  poorly performing businesses went under but so did some good ideas and innovations.

This time Operators are reacting differently - although we are seeing them cut back on spend - they seem to be continuing with IPTV product developments but spending their money more carefully - they are looking for smarter and more cost effective ways of delivering IPTV.

BCi’s IPTV Consultancy business has benefited directly from this trend . Being purely focused on VoD and IPTV systems integration we are able to offer Operators the in depth IPTV expertise they need to ensure a successful deployment - but at a fraction of the cost of the big consultancies and system integrators.”

IPTV Systems Integrator BCi announces partnership

PRESS RELEASE - IPTV Systems Integrator BCi announces partnership with Flomatik

BCi, Europe’s leading IPTV systems integrator, has today announced it is to partner with next generation networks specialist Flomatik.
