Red Bee teams up with Better Software for Nordisk+ streamer

Media services provider Red Been Media has partnered with Better Software Group to launch Danish entertainment company Nordisk Film’s new streaming service, Nordisk Film+.

Nordisk Film+ showcases a selection of Danish films and a wide range of international cinema releases and kids’ content.

The application designed for the Nordic entertainment brand has been created through collaboration between Red Bee Media and Better Software Group.

Nordisk Film harnesses the range of Red Bee Media’s managed OTT services as a part of the Red Bee Pulse offering to bring its new subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service to users.

Nordisk Film+’s content is delivered through Red Bee Media’s infrastructure including digital rights management (DRM), content management expertise, and content delivery network services.

Better Software Group delivered a front-end for the multiplatform solution, available on the web, mobile (iOS & Android), Apple TV, Android TV, and Smart TV (Samsung and LG).

Nordisk’s front-end solution is integrated with all parts of the Nordisk Film+ application and enabling users to enjoy a superior customer experience, according to the pair.

“We’re thrilled to bring the very best of Danish cinema culture to home audiences with the Nordisk Film+ launch,“ said Klaus Odegaard, VP of Acquisition, Marketing & Theatrical Distribution, Nordisk Film. “Partnering with Better Software Group and Red Bee Media’s proven business and technology expertise empowers us to get our service up and running quickly while making it easy for subscribers to enjoy high-quality movies at home.”

Shifting from a multi-service and multi-vendor approach to its SVOD offering, Nordisk Film achieves greater efficiency and simplifies its subscription model with an independent and unified service. This enables Nordisk Film to drive commercial growth and scale across Scandinavian markets.

“With this project’s release, the true success of our work is bringing to the table a solution that will meet and even exceed the highest audience expectations. We, as well as the Nordisk Film and Red Bee media crew, have brought our best expertise to achieve a truly outstanding and excellent outcome. I’m happy that the fruits of our work can now be put to test with the people we do this for and who are the toughest but fairest judges – the audience,” said Bartłomiej Lozia, CEO of Better Software Group.

“Red Bee Media is proud to partner with one of the most creative and well-loved media brands in the Nordics, helping Nordisk Film ramp up their digital distribution strategy and deepen subscriber engagement through unique content experiences,” said Steve Nylund, CEO, Red Bee Media.

“The streaming industry is under transformation, and for forward-looking companies like Nordisk Film, future-proofing their business with cutting-edge technology solutions is key.”
