Case Study: Spark Sport launches a premium sports streaming platform with Accedo

Spark Sport launches Rugby World Cup 2019 streaming apps on time with Accedo

Spark Sport, a New Zealand-based streaming service, needed to rapidly build and launch a new sports streaming platform after acquiring rights to major events like the Rugby World Cup 2019. Their challenge was to find a partner who could deliver stable and engaging consumer applications for various big-screen TV platforms under a tight deadline and then continue to evolve them.

Accedo was engaged to develop these applications, co-locating its team with Spark Sport's to maximize collaboration. The solution involved navigating the complex certification processes for multiple Smart TV and Freeview devices. As a result, Accedo delivered the key applications on time with an engaging user experience. The two organizations continue to collaborate closely, with Accedo acting as an integrated extension of the Spark Sport team to evolve the platform.
