Case Study: Al Sharqiya Group launches 1001 streaming service with Accedo

Al Sharqiya Group launches 1001 with Accedo and surpasses 1 million mobile downloads in 3 months

Al Sharqiya Group, a major Iraqi media organization, faced the challenge of a shifting media landscape as viewers increasingly turned to streaming services. To stay competitive and meet the demand for on-demand Arabic-language content, they needed to build a new digital streaming service from the ground up. They partnered with Accedo to guide this transformation and develop the necessary OTT ecosystem.

Accedo acted as a technology partner and systems integrator for Al Sharqiya, developing new Android and iOS applications for the 1001 service on the Accedo Elevate platform. The solution integrated partners Brightcove for video delivery and JUMP Data Driven Video for analytics. This enabled a rapid launch timed for Ramadan. The service was highly successful, surpassing one million mobile downloads worldwide within its first three months, demonstrating strong demand and marking a successful entry into streaming for Accedo's customer.
