Case Study: Armstrong Utilities achieves a streamlined VOD launch and secure native streaming with Verimatrix VCAS

Armstrong - Customer Case Study

Armstrong, the 15th largest U.S. cable provider serving six states, needed a high-quality, easy-to-integrate encryption solution to support a move to a more sophisticated TiVo-powered set-top platform and to offer native streaming options without forcing customers to use add‑on devices. On TiVo’s recommendation, Armstrong selected Verimatrix and its Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS™) to meet content-owner anti‑piracy requirements and streamline the VOD migration.

Verimatrix integrated VCAS with Armstrong’s TiVo interfaces, enabling a fast, smooth VOD launch and a richer native streaming menu. The solution converted 50% of Armstrong customers to the new streaming‑friendly set‑top platform, was praised by Armstrong staff for quick, simple integration, and provided industry‑accepted anti‑piracy protection—delivering measurable customer conversion and a more competitive service offering.
