As part of a strategy to become a "pure-play software provider” SeaChange did two divestitures: In May 2012, it sold ODG to Avail-TVN and its server hardware business spun out to XOR Media that same month.
In 2014 SeaChange acquired Timeline Labs, a start-up that makes tools for broadcasters and video service providers for audience measurement via social media. SeaChange appointed Ed Terino as their new CEO in 2016, who stepped down on the 24 of February 2019 amid a conflict with the largest shareholder.
