Accedo acquires Easel TV

TV technology outfit Accedo has acquired Easel TV, the UK-based provider of streaming technology and digital media solutions founded by Joe Foster and Bill Scott.

Accedo said the acquisition will bring the Easel TV SaaS platform and the Accedo Accedo One SaaS platform under a single roof and further strengthen the company’s ability to deliver on customer requirements.

The Easel TV team will join Accedo’s existing London office.

Easel TV’s brand name will gradually be phased out and will continue to be operated under the Accedo brand.
