About Accedo
About
Accedo is a trusted Video Experience Transformation pioneer turning TV viewers into video lovers. We’re delighting the lives of video consumers by the hundreds of millions. The company was founded in 2004 on a simple observation: emerging technology will transform how people watch television and consume video, but networks, operators, broadcasters, brands and new market entrants will struggle to keep up with the complexities of the new environment and ecosystem. This insight led Accedo’s founders Michael Lantz and Fredrik Andersson to create a portfolio of customer-centric video solutions that: shorten time-to-market, improve operational agility, and boost monetisation capabilities. Over the years, Accedo has earned the trust of many of the world’s leading premium video-service providers to whom two goals are paramount: explore new opportunities to monetise video and transform video services to meet rapidly- changing consumer expectations. Our customers include global video service leaders Netflix, NBC Universal, Spotify, Disney, BT and HBO.
