Telefónica and Front Porch Digital close a collaboration agreement

Through this agreement, Telefónica will offer in Spain, Portugal and South America a digital file management service in the cloud with Lynx technology from Front Porch Digital.

Telephone and Front Porch Digital have closed a collaboration agreement under which Telefónica will offer cloud media file management services in the cloud with LYNXSM technology, the content management service (CSM) owned by Front Porch Digital.

Telefónica will install Lynx in its data center in Spain, from which it will resell the services. Telefónica's new cloud media management offer is aimed at clients in Spain, Portugal and South America, with a main focus on broadcasters with management needs for large amounts of media files.

Martín Parrilla Sánchez, head of Product Marketing at Telefónica de España, maintains that "with DIVArchive, Front Porch Digital has been the world leader in the content management market for more than 10 years and is, by far, the alternative chosen by media companies in the Spanish-speaking world." "They are a main reference in the market thanks to their completely consolidated products and the high quality of service they provide. Furthermore, thanks to the fact that they are continually innovating, they ensure that their solutions are always current and prepared for the future. Lynx is a perfect example of the advantages that we hope to achieve thanks to our partnership."

For his part, Rino Petricola, senior vice president and general manager of Front Porch Digital, stated that “the broadcast industry is facing a new paradigm of change and is moving from broadcast distribution to broadband.” “This agreement with one of the largest telcos in the world clearly positions Front Porch Digital at that point of convergence between broadcast and broadband, and opens new opportunities for the development of our Lynx services.”
