Migrate from a Legacy Platform to a Modern One
The Internet has changed the world, the way how people consume information including the TV experience. The TV moved from old-fashioned terrestrial TV to IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) and OTT TV (Over-the-Top Television).
Technologies do not stand still, IPTV platforms and devices for them, application interfaces and control systems are already becoming obsolete. Without a new generation of OTT devices, it is no longer possible to compete in the market. The need to switch from a legacy platform to a modern one is obvious and to do this, you need:
Technologies do not stand still, IPTV platforms and devices for them, application interfaces and control systems are already becoming obsolete. Without a new generation of OTT devices, it is no longer possible to compete in the market. The need to switch from a legacy platform to a modern one is obvious and to do this, you need:
- install the software along with changing server platforms in data-centres (if necessary);
- upload content;
- design the app interface;
- integrate with all current platform services and the infrastructure;
- replace end-user media player (STBs), if needed.
What Does the Migration from Legacy Platform Gives to the Company?
Now
Thanks to a new platform, the operator offers interactive services on STBs, mobile devices, provides content for other types of screens. Service provider's business-opportunities are expanding, new business-models become available. Revenue grows with selling new media services and monetization of OTT-content.
In the future
With the updated platform the Service Provider's business compete perfectly with others on the market and in new niches. The company takes extra revenue from new audience and services.

What Is Needed?
In order to migrate from a legacy platform to a modern one you need two main tools - a management system and a multiplatform player.
We use our own management system Telebreeze Middleware, a full-featured tool for managing IPTV/OTT business. Through the Middleware a service provider manages content and subscribers, DRM, monetization services, statistics, subscribers' personal areas.
Telebreeze Multiplatform Player supports all the most popular users platforms: Smart TVs, set-top-boxes, mobile devices, PC, media players — Roku, Amazon FireTV.

What Else Can We Do at This Stage?
The installation of transcoderscould be needed for content preparation to stream to new OTT-devices.
When the number of subscribers starts to grow, the operator will need extra Media servers to deliver content more in a more efficient way.

What the Client Should Think About?
Content sourcesThe Service Provider already has content sources, so they should be only prepared for the new OTT-devices.
Design kitPrepare the logos, graphics, and company colors according to our recommendations.
EquipmentChoose location of facilities: rent a cloud data-centre or use own servers for system deployment.
Billing and PaymentChoose payment tools: the integration with existing subscriber payment system or connection to new systems.
EngineersOrganize a technical team to incorporate IPTV servers into existing network architecture, to set a remote access for Telebreeze engineers, to maintain infrastructure after the roll-out.
PromotionOrganize a marketing campaign to attract subscribers. According to our experience, a budget for promotion usually takes from 10 to 30 % of overall budget of the project.
What Are the Timelines?
Each project is unique, the roll-out time depends on several factors: your technical capabilities and wishes, the amount of customizations, volume of content, and geographical regions for streaming.
