Case Study: Spark Sport launches premium multi-device sports streaming with Accedo

Delivering Premium Sports to Fans Across New Zealand

Spark Sport, a new sport streaming service from New Zealand's largest digital services provider, needed to rapidly build and launch its platform in time for the Rugby World Cup 2019. The challenge involved developing stable and engaging consumer applications for a range of big screen TV platforms within just a few months while ensuring close collaboration with their internal team. To meet this ambitious goal, they partnered with Accedo for its video experience expertise.

Accedo provided its professional services, co-locating a dedicated development team with the Spark Sport team to maximize collaboration and ensure a swift rollout across multiple devices. The solution was delivered on time for the Rugby World Cup, enabling Spark Sport to launch with an engaging user experience for sports fans. Accedo’s work resulted in a successful platform that offers live, on-demand, and highlights from a wide range of sports, and the partnership continues as Accedo helps evolve the service to meet future customer needs.
