Comcast Technology Solutions

CTS or Comcast Technology Solutions is the division of IT for Comcast. First let’s review the user needs and the ecosystem, then let’s see some of the major services CTS provides.

For those not familiar with the TV / Streaming ecosystem you can read this post related to it, I review some numbers, players and other basic aspects of the current status-quo.

How does Comcast Technology Services satisfies these needs?

That’s a broad question, and from outside what I can do is to review different services they offer.

Personalized experiences have their own cycle

This cycle is important to have in mind, because is the common pattern follow by almost all content generated and managed by these services.

VideoAI™ by Comcast

I have tried to create a Wardley Map with the main components of VideoAI, but I have not enough data to draw the components (what I did is a guess), neither the lines or main flows of capital.

So I prefer to leave the map as this by now.

The challenge of understanding the dependencies between components and how to integrate them is so high. I understand this integration is one of the major challenges.

DataBee™, a security data fabric

This is another major service of CTS focused on security. It ingests data from multiple feeds, then aggregates, compresses, standardizes, enriches, correlates, and normalizes it before transferring a full time-series dataset to your data lake of choice.

It focuses on the beginning of the security data pipeline – making sure you have ALL your data in a clean, usable format, before you apply analytics.
