Visiware Joins itaas' OCAP Program
ATLANTA--itaas Inc., the only provider of end-to-end interactive television (iTV) solutions in the digital video industry, and a provider of an innovative suite of video-on-demand products, has added Visiware as the newest member of its istart OCAP Axiom(TM) Developer Program (OCAP Program). The OCAP Program is targeted towards application providers developing Java-based client applications running on the Axiom stack.
The istart OCAP Program will enable Visiware to build OCAP (OpenCable Application Platform) applications efficiently. Application developers enrolled in the istart OCAP Program will gain access to the OCAP developer kit including documentation and developer tools. The istart support team, highly skilled in end-to-end iTV technology, provides technical support and assistance to accelerate OCAP application development.
"We are excited about the opportunity to offer OCAP support to Visiware," said Jaspal Bhasin, COO of itaas. "We strongly believe that OCAP will open up wider deployment of applications at an accelerated pace and we are delighted to provide this expertise in the industry. As a one-stop shop for application developers, we will continue to expand our istart program to address unique middleware requirements."
"We are glad to be part of this OCAP program. We have been developing OCAP applications for two years now and are looking for serious opportunities to open up the US market to compelling revenue generating casual games," said Laurant Weill, Chairman and founder of Visiware, the world-leading provider of interactive casual games and creator of Playin'TV, its games channel available on TV, mobile phones and the Internet. "In our competitive industry, time is of the essence. With itaas' support, we envision getting our games to market even quicker."
