aha partners with Evergent

August 30, 2022

Evergent, the customer management and monetization leader for streaming and digital subscription businesses, has announced the successful migration of aha, the 100% local OTT entertainment platform delivering premium digital content in multiple languages to users in more than 190 countries. Evergent’s flexible subscriber management and agile monetization platform makes it possible for aha to seamlessly integrate new languages and currencies, facilitating rapid expansion into new audiences and geographies. aha’s partnership with Evergent is a component of its broader partnership with Firstlight Media, the end-to-end provider of the cloud-native aha OTT platform.

As streaming services aim to serve global audiences and diasporas for some of the world’s most important cultures and languages, they are frequently limited by the complexity of working across multiple regions, payment methods and currencies. Streaming services must be able to quickly integrate new distribution and payment approaches and test new promotions and packages in order to drive audience growth and maximize revenue. Evergent’s monetization products make it possible for media and entertainment services to develop country-specific business rules and monetization models, offering the agility and flexibility needed to succeed on a multinational level.

Specifically, with this partnership, aha will take advantage of the Evergent platform to dynamically offer new products and promotions across different devices and service plans with multiple currencies and country-specific business rules. Additionally, the platform will facilitate seamless integration of major distribution partners to increase the aha service footprint and overall revenues.“Evergent’s robust platform has provided us with the capabilities needed to go to market quickly with new plans and promotions,” said Ajit Thakur, CEO at aha. “By enabling us to expand horizontally and easily integrate new payment methods and currencies across multiple regions, Evergent has supported aha’s ambitious growth plans and allowed us to reach a truly worldwide audience with our premium digital video service.”“Today’s video providers require unprecedented speed and agility in order to capture a truly global addressable market,” said Vijay Sajja, founder and CEO of Evergent. “Through our platform, aha has established specific business rules for companies in individual countries while maintaining oversight of a large network of distribution partners and subsidiaries. aha can now deploy different promotions based on the user’s device or payment plan, while a variety of partnership-based revenue structures can drive further growth through international expansion.”
