Dativa will also work with Kaltura to develop out-of-the-box machine learning models that can help cloud TV service providers optimize user acquisition and retention, increase of content consumption and monetization.
“We’re delighted to be helping Kaltura deliver the promise of data-driven TV to its customer base,” said Tom Weiss, Co-Founder, Chief Data Scientist and CTO at Dativa. “The ability to harness and use data to succeed should not be the preserve of large companies with big data science teams. But it is often difficult to find skilled, knowledgeable data science and engineering resources with the know-how needed to effectively and quickly implement new data-driven strategies. We see enormous value in technology companies like Kaltura bringing these competencies to their customers.”
