Services
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CSG
Systems International (NASDAQ:
CSGS), a leading global provider of interactive transaction-driven
solutions and services, today announced that Comcast recently launched
the Xfinity On Campus offering using CSG
Content Direct® as the content monetization and management platform.
Xfinity On Campus allows students at universities to watch live TV and
on-demand content on IP-enabled devices including, laptops, tablets, and
smartphones while on campus. Students can access thousands of
current-season TV shows, hit movies, and premium sports content using
their university credentials.
"Xfinity On Campus lets students watch TV on their own terms," said
Marcien Jenckes, Executive Vice President of Consumer Services for
Comcast Cable. "With this younger generation, more and more viewing is
happening away from the traditional TV set, and we have evolved our
products and services to better engage them. Whether it's Game of
Thrones, Scandal, or The Daily Show, Xfinity On Campus offers
all the content they want—anytime, anywhere, on any device."
CSG Content Direct facilitates the sale of premium services, such as HBO
and Showtime, through the Xfinity On Campus product by using a student's
university ID to provide a seamless user experience. The Content Direct
commerce management engine also facilitates recurring payments for the
premium subscription services students select by storing preferred
payment methods in a fully integrated eWallet function to provide
convenient and flexible purchase options.
"Our work with Comcast illustrates the future direction of video content
delivery," said Kent
Steffen, president of CSG Content Direct. "Applications running on
Content Direct allow us to personalize and tailor every user experience.
Our goal is to change the way consumers view and purchase content, which
helps our clients build brand loyalty and create new revenue streams."
