Irvine-based, AllDigital Inc., Announces CSP Middleware™
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA
Consumers want the “total” Internet experience with access to as many forms of rich media content and online services (media, games, services, etc.) across diverse device platforms such as mobile, desktop computers, and a new generation of connected digital televisions.
The highly fragmented nature of the three major device platforms (mobile, desktop, and digital television) has created a barrier for the content owner and device manufacturer. Simply put: There are too many services chasing too many different devices. Both content owners and device manufacturers can benefit from a highly scalable and standards-based method of consumer discovery and adoption of digital media and online services.
AllDigital solves this problem by focusing on four distinct technologies (Discovery, Portability, Compatibility, and Data Exchange) as the foundation of Common Services Platform (CSP) Middleware™. Discovery is the process of allowing a connected device to find compatible media and online services. Portability allows services to follow an end-user from one device to another. Compatibility is essential to the online service working with a device, and lastly, data exchange allows services to communicate with each other creating a more robust end-user experience.
CSP Middleware empowers content owners and device manufacturers by leveraging from existing infrastructure and investment to extend profitable business models to new devices. For example, a popular sports service could take a pay-per-view video feed previously developed for desktop devices and extend it to mobile media players such as smart phones. Or, a hardware manufacturer could achieve higher profitability by embedding a “movies on demand” service into their new connected media player. CSP lets the content owner focus on making content and the device manufacturer on making the best device.
eMarketer, Inc., a firm focused on market research and trend analysis of the Internet, e-business, online marketing, media and emerging technologies, reports that the global market for online services is expected to be over $407 billion by the year 2011.
“It’s exciting to be part of a new startup targeting a high-growth opportunity in the technology space”, said Paul Summers, Co-Founder and CEO. “We believe that the next great wave in technology is happening today with the rapidly growing universe of connected devices.” Tim Napoleon, Co-Founder and President Services, added, “Our goal is make sure the migration of digital content to a new generation of connected devices is a profitable for the entire ecosystem.”
