Comcast Technology Solutions (CTS), a division of Comcast Cable, and Applicaster are thrilled to announce their robust new cloud video platform solution for media app creation and management. Following several years of a successful Certified Partner relationship, the two companies are taking their collaboration to the next level with a certified integration into the Cloud Video Platform (CVP), part of the CTS Cloud TV Suite. This offers an all-in-one solution with a scalable and modular approach to building and powering top-tier media app experiences
The certified integration will allow CTS customers to leverage Applicaster's no-/low-code app management platform, Zapp, to easily build, customize, and scale their cross-platform media apps. Zapp helps businesses connect with their audiences and drive performance by offering the control, agility, and data they need to grow.

"With this powerful pre-integrated solution, businesses can easily address the core challenges of building a successful direct-to-consumer OTT business with a rapid time to market."
CTS customers can now efficiently manage their app configuration and experience. Key benefits include:
"With the growing demand for direct-to-consumer media services worldwide, providers now expect to have both product flexibility across their streaming apps and operational control over their businesses," says Applicaster CEO, Ido Hadari. "By combining Applicaster's app management platform with CTS's Cloud TV Suite we are able to eliminate the reliance on bespoke development and shorten time-to-impact while delivering a best-in-class app creation, management, and optimization solution to CTS's customers."
