Deltatre launched Deltatre NEXUS, a unified streaming platform that integrates its FORGE editorial CMS with its VESPER streaming technology. New Zealand Rugby became the platform's first client, providing a new digital home for the All Blacks and Black Ferns. The platform delivers live and on-demand video, editorial content, real-time data and commerce through a single login across mobile, desktop and connected TV.
New Zealand Rugby's new hub, available at allblacks.com and blackferns.com, features a live match center with real-time statistics, original behind-the-scenes content and direct streaming in markets without broadcast partners. The platform builds on NZR+, which previously attracted nearly 450,000 registered fans and helped double the All Blacks' YouTube audience to 1.35 million.
Deltatre shows how unified digital platforms are helping sports organizations build deeper direct-to-fan relationships across content, commerce and live experiences.
