Following the development and launch of unique proprietary technologies such as the Saffron Secure Player in 2012, multi-platform online video delivery company Saffron Digital will continue to help lead the innovation charge for the industry in 2013. Saffron’s online video platform is now fully UltraViolet compatible, so it can provide a range of solutions for the UltraViolet ecosystem.
Saffron Digital was also recently named the “Best Video Service Provider” at the seventh annual Mobile Entertainment Awards in London. Saffron received this honor based on its outstanding work on launching the Video Pass application for Japanese telecoms company KDDI. Other criteria included its flexibility and multi-platform nature of customer solutions across the globe, consistent innovation and global reach. The award winners were decided by a judging panel of Mobile Entertainment executives from all sectors of the business.
“The team at Saffron Digital is delighted to pick up the Mobile Entertainment award for ‘Best Video Service Provider’ for the fourth year in a row, especially as it’s voted on by our industry peers,” says Jason Keane, CEO, Saffron Digital. “In this case for KDDI Video Pass, Japan’s fastest growing video service, we delivered a true multi-platform experience with a great blend of both local and Hollywood content.”
With more than seven years’ experience in multi-platform online video delivery, Saffron Digital is looking forward to further driving the pace of innovation in the industry in 2013 by further increasing its global reach, influence and presence in established and developing media markets worldwide. Saffron has a number of exciting new partnerships across various continents in the pipeline for early in the New Year.
The company also plans to continue to grow its presence and form new partnerships with major industry players around the world by utilizing its vast local market knowledge to tailor its product range to the bespoke needs of individual market trends.
