OTT Financial Business Consultancy

The market for OTT services is growing rapidly and more new kids on the block enter this exiting market next to the traditional telco’s and cable operators. Some of these operators are looking for additional support and a sparring partner to finalise their business plan.

Recently, Mware Solutions started to successfully assist these companies building a financial business case which is used by these operators as a financial guideline for the first years of their OTT operation.
In addition, the financial business case can be used to attract additional investors for the OTT project of the operator.

Based on the input / assumptions provided by the OTT operator, Mware Solutions and the operator cooperate to develop and finalize an achievable and realistic Financial plan.
