Wrapping up 2023 for TV2Z!

Another year has passed, and with that, we want to wrap up the year by looking back at 2023 and all its highlights and memorable moments. What a year it has been, and we’re glad you’re reading along to take a trip down memory lane for the year 2023.

Launching T-Connect

One of the biggest moments of 2023 was the launch of T-Connect! T-Connect offers customers an adaptable templated OTT Lightning application that simplifies the process of developing apps for set-top boxes. By utilizing a templated user interface, it guarantees a toolkit that is affordable, user-friendly, and easy to use. We soft-launched T-Connect at TV2Z’s first-ever RDK Summit, but more on that later. To learn more about T-Connect, check out our article on Medium titled Introducing T-Connect, the next step in Lightning/Firebolt application development.

A year of travels and industry events

2023 was also a year full of travels for TV2Z. Whether it was business trips to magnificent London or attending the MIPTV and MIPCOM trade shows in Cannes, where opportunity and innovation exist, TV2Z is always one step ahead. TV2Z was also thrilled to attend another edition of the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam, where we met with old and new friends and clients from across the world. Staying within Amsterdam, TV2Z also took part in its first-ever RDK Summit, where we soft-launched T-Connect to all attendees and met with many innovators shaping the landscape.

RDK Preferred Plus and new partnerships

Speaking of the RDK Summit, 2023 was the year TV2Z became an official RDK Preferred Plus member! A momentous occasion that was highlighted by our attendance at the annual RDK Summit. As a Preferred Plus member, we are welcomed into a strong and thriving community of business-to-business connections that propel the development of state-of-the-art video and broadband services.

Along with our RDK Preferred Plus membership, TV2Z also began working with Vimeo in diversifying Vimeo clients’ application library this year. Totalling more than half a dozen affiliations with TV2Z since its founding seven years ago. TV2Z now works with partners from all over the world to ensure that we are equipped to deliver quality services and contribute to the industry in any way we can.

Client growth and solution enhancements

While TV2Z welcomed several new clients to our clientele, 2023 was the year for growth within our existing sphere. In 2023, nearly every single one of our clients grew in value. Our solutions were enhanced and improved throughout the year, and our clients benefitted from it. Not only our own TV2Z products, but additional features such as deploying Datamart, and Paywall solutions helped some of our clients grow and prosper within their respective industries.

Did you know that TV2Z integrated more than 20 Telcos onto our OTT platforms? Some of the other highlights this year regarding our solutions and services were the growth and focus on TV2Z Smart Channels. These innovative Smart Channels offer a unique experience for users wanting on-demand content within streaming services. Speaking of innovation, we also were able to break barriers and deploy LG and Samsung applications using Lightning! Once again proving that we are at the forefront of tomorrow’s innovations and are committed to providing our clients with the best there is to offer.

With most of our clients growing their application portfolio with TV2Z, it enabled them to thrive on multiple devices and grow their reach. With double-digit growth rates for many of our clients, we achieved a high customer satisfaction score in 2023 and look forward to growing on that to deliver the best services and experiences for our clients in 2024.

Inside TV2Z: the Hackfest

In 2023, our TV2Z team in India participated in the TV2Z Hackfest! The Hackathon was meant to encourage TV2Z’s most talented minds to come up with ground-breaking ideas and solutions that can solve tomorrow’s questions. With the core elements of teamwork, innovation, and dedication, our team demonstrated that their potential ideas and solutions are ready to shape the future. We are, and always will be, proud of our team for their achievements and aspirations. We grow together.

Reflecting on the year

With hundreds of client calls, dozens of in-person meetings, and lots of cups of coffee (more than 1,500 cups in Amsterdam alone!), this year, like every year, has tested our work ethic and our dedication to our team and to the ideals and goals we have for ourselves and each other. We’re happy to report we are stronger than ever, and we are ready to take on the new year with the same ambition and drive that we have upheld for seven years now.

Looking ahead to 2024

We look forward to exploring and building upon our achievements this year and to continuously discover how to deliver for our clients, such as further incorporating Artificial Intelligence and making use of AI-powered search and recommendations.

Closing off, we hope 2024 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!

Cheers to 2024!
