ORS Group and Insys Video Technologies today announce the launch of a new joint brand identity: Big Blue Marble. The move reflects the evolution of a long-standing partnership between the two companies who share a strong mission to shape the future of media and entertainment through globally scalable, intuitive, and cloud-native video service solutions.

Emerging from a collaboration that began in 2017, Big Blue Marble combines two decades of ORS's broadcast experience with Insys's OTT and streaming expertise. The relationship deepened further in 2023 when ORS became a shareholder in Insys, paving the way for closer alignment and integration.

Big Blue Marble has the technology, scale and experience to meet the needs of modern media organisations, from cable operators and ISPs to sports clubs, religious broadcasters, and cultural institutions. Rooted in Europe, and powered by international experience, Big Blue Marble brings a hands-on, collaborative approach to every customer engagement, delivering tailored, technology-driven solutions with a steadfast commitment to long-term success.

The Big Blue Marble brand deepens and extends an already powerful relationship between ORS and Insys, bringing an extremely compelling offering to market, said Michael Wagenhofer, CEO of ORS Group. Drawing on our proven, real-world expertise, from studio to the cloud, we understand what matters most to our customers: reliable infrastructure, intuitive usability, and scalable flexibility. We've also been delivering content to audiences ourselves through our simpliTV service, so we know exactly what it takes to build, launch, operate, and scale video services in dynamic consumer environments.
