Two of the world’s biggest technology firms have joined together in an attempt to make video streaming a more pleasant experience for viewers across the world.
AWS and Salesforce have launched a selection of new services aimed at improving video streaming for users everywhere, allowing content distributors to provide a wider and more intuitive range of services alongside a better end-user experience.
The new services combine AWS analytics, AI, and machine learning tools alongside Salesforce Customer 360 and its Media Cloud platform.

The companies say this collection of tools allows content providers such as TV and online networks to provide more personalized experiences for customers.
This could include more relevant adverts, suggestions of other content to watch or subscribe to, or recommendations on upgrading their viewing package, such as adding new channels.

This should also help improve customer satisfaction with the services they receive, hopefully leading to ongoing loyalty and longer subscriptions.
The new offerings will also allow the content providers to get more insight into exactly who their customers are, and what kind of services they are interested in, and want to see more of. Salesforce’s technology will provide a wealth of information on what drives engagement for individual customers, offering ideas on content recommendations and more.
