The Results
Integrating THEOlive into Watchity’s event platform resulted in the following key benefits:
Scalability: As THEOlive scales over a standard CDN, with global points-of-presence, Watchity customers can easily reach any audience size worldwide.
Sub-Second Latency: Thanks to the HESP-based streaming with THEOlive, Watchity can deliver at sub-second latency while still providing for a high viewer quality of experience, including ABR, to easily adapt resolution/bit rate to changing network conditions. Watchity's client, ISDIN, a skincare company, leverages this advantage for their live company event, allowing online audience to engage in real-time interactive games like Kahoot!.
Seamless Integration and Support: Integrating THEOlive into the Watchity platform was very easy and straightforward thanks to the API-first approach. “The integration was very fast. Our team started to work on the test, and 2-3 days later I could already see the results,” says Albert.
Reduction in Maintenance Cost: After using the end-to-end THEOlive solution, which takes away a big part of technical complexity, Watchity has fewer issues and fewer customer complaints. Therefore the maintenance work for developers and the operations team is much lower than before.
Business Growth Potential: Low latency was a feature many Watchity customers were asking for. Thanks to THEOlive, Watchity has boosted customer satisfaction, and will be able to further grow its customer base globally.
