BT becomes first customer of Immedia's new mobile streaming platform

 

Immedia Group PLC (AIM:IME), a supplier of digital audio content solutions for leading brands and global businesses, is pleased to announce that BT Group plc has signed a significant 12 month contract for the supply of an interactive, 24/7 real time digital radio channel to employees in its local network business, Openreach, using the Group's new mobile audio streaming platform.

 

Immedia's highly scalable white label streaming platform, which has been in development for two years, enables large, geographically dispersed companies to engage directly with their employees and customers, through dedicated audio content streamed directly to their mobile phones. 

 

The Openreach radio service, branded Reach 365, will be accessible to the 33,000 strong workforce through dashboard mounted mobile devices and will be streamed directly into some of the company's canteens, offices and telephone exchange buildings.

 

Reach 365 has been successfully trialled over the last six months. All content is delivered in real time and includes live programming from Openreach events to keep the workforce in touch with daily developments. 

 

Bruno Brookes, CEO of Immedia, said:

 

"Large socially responsible organisations are constantly seeking new ways to engage with their employees, customers and other audiences, who are often spread across wide geographical areas.  At its root, our technology is all about helping organisations to build a better culture and stronger sense of community. Our platform has been designed to enable large organisations to engage 'hard to reach' audiences, straight to their mobile phones, sharing music, keeping them informed on relevant developments and allowing them to participate and interact from remote locations. 

 

"We are very pleased to be working with the team at Openreach, who truly understand the importance of engaging employees and the value this creates. With its boundless reach, I believe the platform we have created has enormous potential to deliver simple solutions to many global businesses."
