Yekutiel continued: “Under the great leadership of Kaltura’s Co-founder Shay David, we have built the most widely deployed Cloud TV platform in the world, delivering a fully cloud-based TV service to over 50 million monthly active users. Now, together with Nuno, we are continuing our platform’s evolution from ‘Cloud TV’ to ‘Cognitive TV’ – marrying the power of the cloud with AI to provide a service that understands and predicts user behavior, and uses that to optimize service for the end-user and the financial results for the TV providers.”
Nuno Sanches, General Manager, Media and Telecom at Kaltura, stated: “Five years ago the decision to develop and deploy a cloud-based video streaming service that could scale to millions and merge the best of operator-grade Pay-TV and OTT was not obvious and its success surprised and shaped the Pay-TV industry. Today, as the ‘streaming wars’ rage on, every operator and media company needs to make the same bold move. Personally, by joining the strongest independent technology provider in this space, I now have the opportunity to make a massive impact on the market by helping further scale & bring to life the next generation of Cloud TV services.”
