Altitude Sports offers subscribers frictionless access to content

Synacor’s Cloud ID identity and access management platform is being used by Altitude Sports, the regional sports network home of the NHL Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche, the NBA’s Denver Nuggets and the National Lacrosse League’s Colorado Mammoth, for simplified authentication and identity management across all devices.

Altitude is using Cloud ID for existing multi-channel video programming distributor (MVPD) deployments, providing subscribers with simple experiences when accessing a rich line-up of sports and sports-related content across multiple devices. 

Synacor is a cloud-based software and services company serving global video, internet and communications providers, device manufacturers, governments, and enterprises. Its software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based managed services solution supports integrations across MVPD, telco and other partners, as well as direct-to-consumer opportunities in the future, allowing Altitude to focus entirely on providing an engaging consumer digital experience.

Dana Golden, Senior Vice-President of Business Development for Synacor, said, “Meeting the expectations of sports fans is one of the most demanding tasks across platforms today. 

“By using Cloud ID to streamline access to games and other programming, Altitude Sports is creating a welcoming entry environment that makes fans feel like part of the Rocky Mountain sports community every time they sign in.”

Cloud ID provides a modern, custom, and turnkey identity management platform for premium, globally renowned streaming entertainment, content and service provider companies, with engagements spanning traditional MVPDs, telcos, hotels, airlines, rewards programmes and more. 

The platform’s simple, secure, and frictionless customer experience reaches more than 150 million subscribers, managing more than 30 million unique sign-ins per month, with the ability to scale to millions of users and support outsized access demand.
