UXP Systems and Aria Systems Partner to Enable Cable Operators to Monetize Every End-User Relationship

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - May 4, 2015) - UXP Systems, the leading provider of user management solutions to deliver user-centric digital services, and Aria Systems, which helps enterprises grow their recurring revenues, today announced the joint offering of UXP Systems' MINT User Lifecycle Management Platform and Aria Active Monetization Platform solutions. The new, end-to-end offering is designed for cable operators who need to quickly launch and then better monetize their over-the-top and cloud services. The joint offering is being showcased at the UXP Systems booth #1515 at the Internet and Television Expo (INTX), held May 5-7 at McCormick Place West in Chicago.

"Cable operators today are looking for better ways to onboard and monetize digital users. Whether offering beyond the service footprint via over-the-top and cloud offerings, or creating new relationships with every individual household member, there are opportunities for market expansion," said Jim MacDonald, VP of Global Marketing at UXP Systems. "For the last several years we have been enabling operators to go beyond the traditional customer model and manage an end-to-end lifecycle with each individual user in the viewing household. Our partnership with Aria provides an innovative way to provide new payment options to users that align with next-generation OTT and Cloud service offerings."

Through the Aria-UXP Systems product-to-product integration, new offerings can be monetized in less time, with less effort and investment while leaving existing customer management and billing relationships intact. Key use cases include:

• Quick monetization of new cloud and digital services
• New revenue relationships with every household user
• Multi-dwelling unit billing hierarchies
• Monetization of out-of-footprint customers for over-the-top services

"Aria complements UXP Systems' offering with an Active Monetization Platform that allows operators to get to market faster with a wider array of products and services and quickly iterate on those offerings to better meet changing customer demands," said John Breul, Aria's Head of Business Development. "UXP Systems allows operators to sell beyond traditional household accounts and create new one-to-one end user customer relationships. Aria extends UXP Systems' customer management capabilities so operators can then serve customers when revenue moments occur throughout the relationship."
