TV2Z’s 2024 Wrapped!

Here we are, on the verge of another full year behind us. With 2024 nearly complete, we are excited to reflect on this year and all the events and developments that transpired. 2024 was a year of growth, reflection, and patience for TV2Z. It was an eventful year, and we’re happy you’re reading along.

Leading the way in TV as a Service

It’s hard to find a starting point, but one of TV2Z’s biggest developments this year was our work in the TV as a Service (TvaaS) market. TvaaS provides a simple but unique experience for users and audiences to enjoy premium and seamless viewing experiences and opportunities through their televisions.

For Telcos and Internet Service Providers (ISPs), offering and providing competitive and modern TvaaS solutions for audiences is becoming a crucial component in maintaining and increasing viewer and subscriber rates. It also is a cost-efficient and sustainable business model that is future-proof in addressing current and future consumer demands.

KPN’s Digital Dutch Experience

On that topic, one of the biggest events for TV2Z this year was our participation in KPN’s Digital Dutch Experience, in which TV2Z, in collaboration with KPN, invited a select group of Dutch Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to provide a complete overview of our services and expertise to all present.

The agenda consisted of an overview of TV2Z and our outlook towards the future, a TV2Z Studio demo and workshop, and a space for attendees to view TV2Z-built platforms on several devices, specifically our TVaaS solutions. The event was a raging success and cemented our rising star in TvaaS development. TV2Z’s participation in the Digitial Dutch Experience was insightful and productive, and we look forward to future collaborating with KPN, and the ISPs.

On the road: trade shows and expos

As always, TV2Z was everywhere this year! Whether meeting with clients or visiting trade shows and expos, the travels never stopped. In 2024, TV2Z was in eight different cities across the globe. While the jetlag may have been tough, it is always worth it for the wonderful experiences and connections we make with new and existing clients, friends, and partners. We attended a record number of trade shows and expos this year, six to be exact. From Las Vegas to Amsterdam, and everywhere in between, we’re always happy to be present.

Winning the RDK Hackathon

2024 was also a meaningful year for experiences within TV2Z. One of the biggest achievements for our team this year was participating and winning the RDK Hackathon! TV2Z’s team (Team Marvel) was made up of Phani Kanth Vooka, our Co-Founder and CTO, as well as Aditya Vinnakota, Shyam Kumar Polaki, Salam Shaik, and Kartheekeyan S. TV2Z competed against other formidable teams to clinch this historic win. TV2Z won the hackathon with a project designed to modify the RDK Accelerator UI to enable third-party screen-saver applications. We are always extremely proud of every member of our team, but achievements like these demonstrate to the world that TV2Z is made up of talented, hard-working and dedicated people.

Innovating with Artificial Intelligence

Another area where TV2Z shined in 2024 was our innovative work with Artificial Intelligence (AI). We implemented advanced AI-powered recommendation and search functionalities into our platforms, delivering personalised experiences that our customers loved. By leveraging AI, we enhanced content discovery, improved search accuracy, and provided users with tailored recommendations, resulting in better engagement and overall user satisfaction. The positive feedback we received has further reinforced our commitment to enhancing viewer experiences through cutting-edge technology.

Growing our client base and portfolio

In 2024, TV2Z signed on a record number of new clients, eight to be exact. In a competitive industry such as ours, once you have been in the business for nearly a decade, the test is whether your ideas and solutions can withstand the tide of the times and meet the needs of the future. Nearly a decade on, we’re not slowing down, not at all.

We have grown into a multi-faceted organisation delivering solutions for more devices and screens than ever before. With this year’s development of our TvaaS solutions, we have expanded into more territory than ever before, and we have no intention of stopping. You name it, we build it.

Along with all the new clients we signed this year, many of our clients also increased their application portfolios with TV2Z, with the development of Smart TV applications being one of the most requested new developments with existing clients. Several of our clients also extended and expanded their existing agreements with TV2Z, and for that, we are grateful for their trust.

Looking ahead to 2025

Time flies when you’re having fun, and we can’t believe how quickly this year flew by. To close, we hope 2025 is a successful year for all our clients, partners, colleagues, and friends from all over.

We sincerely hope for a more peaceful year ahead for all corners of the world and a unifying and harmonious year for one and all. To you and yours, here’s to a safe, healthy and prosperous year! See you in 2025!
