Elevate Cloud SaaS Platform Brings
Simplicity to Video Experiences
Espial announced today that its Elevate cloud-based Software as
a Service (SaaS) video platform now features a next-generation user
interface with voice control, allowing consumers to search,
discover, and control live TV, on-demand content, and recordings
using their voice. Compatible with all Amazon Alexa-enabled
devices, Espial Elevate supports voice controls for a range of
features to provide an exceptional video experience for consumers.
These include quick channel changes, search, user interface
navigation, trick play management, and playback of time-shift TV,
VOD, and DVR recordings.
“We are excited that Espial has integrated Alexa into the
Elevate video platform,” said Daniel Rausch, vice president at
Amazon. “Offering the ability to easily find content, control
playback, and change channels, hands-free, will help Elevate
customers interact with their favorite content in a way that is
simple and intuitive — just ask Alexa.”
“Adding Amazon Alexa support to our Elevate platform allows
pay-TV operators to ride the wave of consumer excitement and the
massive industry investment in voice technology,” said Mick
McCluskey, head of product management at Espial. “Today’s
television viewers want simplicity when it comes to their
entertainment experience. Offering advanced voice control on our
Elevate user interface dramatically reduces the time to discover
content. When viewers are satisfied, they watch longer, which leads
to increased customer retention and revenues for pay-TV
operators.”
Elevate is built on a proven, multitenant cloud platform that
has been successfully deployed by dozens of pay-TV operators. It
offers predictable costs and a roadmap to achieve web scale and
speed. Espial Elevate ensures that operators can deliver a richer
and more immersive video experience to subscribers across all
devices, including set-top boxes and consumer-owned screens.
Voice control is now available to new and existing Elevate
customers via the cloud. For more information about Elevate, visit
