Concurrent will provide ZON with a software as a service (SaaS) solution for monitoring video usage, census-level media data management, and industry leading operational analytics--key components of Concurrent's Media Data and Advertising Solutions (MDAS).

Because Concurrent's MDAS portfolio provides both comprehensive media data management and real time operational reporting, ZON receives a clear, detailed picture of the subscriber experience, which allows them to provide the content their customers want with a superior level of service. With this holistic, 360-degree view, ZON can tailor their service offerings to meet customer preferences and add further personalization through advanced advertising. Consistently high service levels and targeted content enables ZON to attract and retain subscribers while increasing service usage and per-subscriber revenue.

Operating as a managed service, MDAS allows ZON to easily track usage trends and quality of service through easy-to-use scorecards, dashboards and reports maintained and operated by Concurrent's team of media data experts.

"As our subscriber base grows, we will benefit tremendously from Concurrent's ability to concisely manage video usage data at the subscriber level," explained Andre Almeida, ZON TV Cabo Board Member. "Concurrent's media data solutions give us comprehensive view of linear, video-on-demand, and interactive media consumption for the television today with mobile and computer screens in the future, which allows us to provide a competitive and differentiated high quality experience to our customers."

"Concurrent's goal is to expand our MDAS services globally and partner with leading operators who have invested significant capital resources in video-on-demand," said Paul Haddad, Concurrent vice president and general manager, MDAS. "Our managed services approach will enable TV Cabo to quickly and effectively measure service performance, subscriber experience, activity rate and capacity management across their enterprise and market levels."

As operators continue to roll out open solutions from multiple system vendors, the need for a "common metrics" approach to managing key performance indicators has increased dramatically. Concurrent's media data management solutions provide broadband operators with comprehensive, vendor-agnostic solutions for advanced performance analytics.

Concurrent solutions are deployed by major service providers in 265 markets worldwide supporting over 33 million digital households, and the company is actively partnering with leading media stakeholders to support industry data initiatives.
