Cloud ID expands Asia-Pacific presence with ABS-CBN’s The Filipino Channel

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Synacor recently expanded its relationship with a leading international Filipino content provider, increasing the footprint of Synacor’s Cloud ID identity and access management platform in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

ABS-CBN Australia Pty. Ltd. (“ABS-CBN”) is now using Synacor’s Cloud ID to authenticate cross-platform delivery of ABS-CBN’s The Filipino Channel (TFC) via StarHub in Singapore.

This allows verified TFC subscribers to avail of TV Everywhere (TVE) viewing. Synacor’s expanded agreement builds on ABS-CBN and its affiliates’ existing use of Cloud ID to authenticate TFC in the United States and elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region.

The platform’s simple and secure customer experience reaches more than 150 million subscribers, managing more than 30 million unique sign-ins per month. CONTRIBUTED

Cloud ID streamlines the login process StarHub subscribers use to access TFC on smart TVs and devices via ABS-CBN’s iWantTFC. StarHub is a leading homegrown Singapore company that delivers world-class communications, entertainment and digital services.

Synacor’s SaaS-based managed services solution removes the complexity of integration, allowing TFC and StarHub to focus on delivering content experiences that drive consumer engagement and monetization.

“Our goal is always to provide the best subscriber experience for our customers while maintaining a competitive and profitable content business,” said ABS-CBN Managing Director for Asia-Pacific Maribel Hernaez.

“TV Everywhere and direct-to-consumer options are critical components of that experience. Synacor’s Cloud ID guarantees a secure solution and seamless deployments for our customers to enjoy streamlined viewing of TFC at home or on the go.”
