PROVYS, a global provider of broadcast software solutions, reports an active and successful 2024. Cloud-based solutions played a pivotal role in 2024, with PROVYS customers driving this transition. The company’s development roadmap, presented in June at a PROVYS client event in Prague, emphasized the importance of an integrated focus on research and development. Many clients demonstrated their trust in PROVYS by upgrading to the latest product version with an automated update cycle. A significant number also transitioned from on-premises installations to fully managed services, enabling smoother and more efficient operation.
Special recognition goes to strategic partners such as Telmaco in Greece, Datos in Spain, and Vantec in Portugal, who helped expand PROVYS’ presence in their respective regions. These partnerships strengthened PROVYS’s foothold in Greece, Spain and Portugal as well as ensuring faster response times and better service for local customers.
“Approaching our 30th anniversary as a globally active provider of broadcast network management technology, we this year introduced a new generation of our flagship product, PROVYS Sphere,” says Karel Votroubek, Chief Commercial Officer at Provys Technologies. “Announced during the mid-September International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam, PROVYS Sphere is a secure television channel management system which enables broadcasters of all sizes to control the entire content acquisition, licensing, branding, scheduling and transmission process. It is designed to help broadcasters automate their workflows more efficiently. Years of dedicated development have resulted in a brand-new architecture, seamless integration with API frameworks, support for various AI-driven applications, a modern web-based presentation layer, and automated version deployments. These innovations enhance system security, improve scalability and eliminate risks associated with outdated software.”
“In addition to IBC, we actively engage each year with customers and partners at major industry events such as NAB in Las Vegas, CABSAT in Dubai, and Broadcast Asia in Singapore. These provide excellent opportunities to validate industry trends, discuss solutions with customers, distribution partners and other broadcast-focused vendors.
“Major projects during the 2024 included the successful replacement of legacy applications at Digiturk, a beIN Group company in Turkey, and Nova in Greece, both of which stand out as transformational achievements. Among other highlights were the completion of large-scale systems at MTVA (Hungary), AMC International (UK, Spain, Hungary and Argentina), All Media Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) and Viasat World (UK).
2024 included a merger with Stream Circle (www.streamcircle.com) and Tweenly (www.tween.ly) to form a unified company. This was completed in August. All broadcast-oriented products are now being delivered under one umbrella business unit: PROVYS Technologies, a.s. This strategic move aims to streamline product delivery and enhance customer experience.
“I am particularly proud of our development teams for delivering innovative solutions such as the implementation of new automated upgrade procedures and the development of a web-based presentation layer to enhance customer workflows,” Karel Votroubek summarises. “Special thanks go to the team at Alpha TV in Greece who embraced the challenge of being the first customer to test and adopt the newly developed web application layer. Their trust and feedback have been invaluable in refining our solutions. While it is impossible to list everyone, the trust and responsibility we feel from our customers motivate us to continuously improve and innovate for their success. These accomplishments reaffirm our commitment to delivering excellence and driving progress across the broadcasting industry.”
