Philippines pay-TV operator Sky Cable has launched its On Demand anytime, anywhere service, powered by the Accenture Video Solution.


The over-the-top (OTT) service delivers international and local live TV channels, as well as movies, on-demand to any screen. The Accenture technology it is based on is an open, micro-modular and scalable software platform that enables cable companies, broadcasters and service operators to quickly deploy their digital video services for consumers over managed and unmanaged devices, with a personalised user experience.

“I’m proud that Accenture is at the forefront of the ground-breaking Sky on Demand service, thanks to our technology consulting capabilities and the Accenture Video Solution platform, which has made a great impact on the way Filipinos use and experience technology,” said Lito Tayag, country managing director, Accenture.

Jerome Almirante, Sky Cable Corporation’s Digital and OTT head, added: “By leveraging the latest advancements in digital technology, Accenture’s broad technology consulting expertise and the Accenture Video Solution platform, Sky on Demand enables us to address our customers’ evolving and growing needs for mobile and on-demand video solutions.”

Sky on Demand is currently available to all SKYcable, SKYbroadband and SKYmobi subscribers. The mobile application can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
