Kartina TV Expands its Adoption of Friendly's Unified Device Management Solution for IPTV Service Management

Kartina TV recently opted to purchase additional licenses and will be further leveraging Friendly's solution to manage a wide range of IPTV services around the globe.

RAMAT-GAN, Israel, October 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --



Kartina TV, a supplier of interactive digital TV services available to
Russian-speaking viewers around the world, has recently purchased additional licenses from
Friendly Technologies. The company is currently expanding its use and integration of
Friendly's Unified Device Management Solution, managing CPEs with Friendly's platform and
adopting Friendly's Customer Support Portal (CSP) for support services. The changes are
expected to enable Kartina TV to save costs and further optimize the company's control of
STBs made by various manufacturers.



Friendly's Unified Device Management solution offers Kartina TV a greater degree of
flexibility and will allow it to expand its management capabilities, allowing the company
to eliminate some of its operational costs while increasing subscriber satisfaction.



"As a global IPTV OTT provider, Kartina TV does not have local offices " and we are
heavily reliant on high-level, remote management. The agility of Friendly's platform has
made a big different to us, allowing the very successful management of a wide range of
device types," said Alexander Cofman, Head of R&D of Kartina TV. "In addition, we have
been consistently impressed with the responsiveness and professionalism of Friendly's
team," he added.



"I'm delighted to expand our partnership with Kartina TV and provide them with an even
wider array of services," said Nir Ezer, VP Sales & Marketing at Friendly Technologies.
"Friendly's solution will allow Kartina TV to extend support to an even greater number of
subscribers and handle additional device types. In addition, Kartina TV's decision to use
Friendly's Support Center Portal (CSR) will facilitate efficient and accurate call
handling," he noted.
