The Challenge

The broadcaster required a fast OTT launch to reach audiences across devices while supporting Arabic-first, multi-lingual experiences. The platform needed to handle live channel playout, VOD libraries, and emerging short-form video formats—without replacing existing Brightcove streaming infrastructure.

The Solution

Enveu acted as the OTT experience and delivery layer on top of Brightcove, enabling the customer to launch quickly without backend disruption. Experience Manager allowed teams to design Arabic and multi-lingual layouts dynamically, while Content Manager unified live channels, VOD assets, and vertical short-form content into a single operational workflow.

Implementation

The launch followed a phased approach. Web and mobile applications were prioritized to meet the public launch deadline, followed by Smart TV apps. Brightcove was integrated for streaming, live playout, and content delivery. Enveu Content Manager handled multi-lingual metadata and content organization, while Experience Manager enabled device-specific layouts and vertical video rails without custom development.

Results

The customer successfully launched a future-ready OTT platform within the committed timeline. The platform now supports live playout, on-demand libraries, and short-form vertical video across devices, with centralized control over content and user experience and minimal operational overhead.
