Challenges
Media and entertainment companies are seeking ways to transform their ideas into personalized, high-quality, live and on-demand content that captivates consumers. This often leads to questions of how to:
▶ Scale infrastructure to meet demands: With consumers demanding more over-the-top (OTT) content and new viewing options, media companies are adjusting to formatting and delivery needs while growing their global reach. Migrating to the cloud and cloud-enabled tools allow companies to effectively scale their media supply chain and infrastructure workflows.
▶ Manage ever-expanding content on multiple delivery vehicles: To keep their competitive edge, content creators and distributors must provide deep and varied libraries of exclusive, high-quality content appealing to different audiences. In a direct-to-consumer (D2C) environment, software tools enhance creation and development of content. This enables media companies to grow, store, and manage their digital media offerings.
▶ Personalize, retain, and monetize: Media and entertainment companies are under pressure to extract meaningful customer insights that inform smarter content production, recommendations, and discovery. Deploying advanced technologies such as data lakes, analytics, and machine learning can boost performance and efficiency. It can also facilitate tangible business outcomes such as deeper audience engagement and greater monetization.
This paper provides insight into the need for media and entertainment organizations to transform their operations, and examines the opportunity presented by cloud-based technologies to streamline and enable the entire media production supply chain.
