It Used To Be Easy! Ah, the golden days when the TV business was as straightforward as broadcasting content across terrestrial channels, with families gathered around the TV set in their living rooms!

Here Comes a New Year – What’s New? Where did 2022 go? The year that was meant to bring stability is well and truly over, and with a fresh 365 days ahead of us, it’s a good time to take stock and reflect on what may be coming. In terms of technology evolution in the…
The cloud is (finally) becoming the new norm for media companies. Customers are expecting vendors to offer service and platform options that are delivered using SaaS and subscription models. But not all vendors are fully in the cloud game just yet and for them, there is no way to quantum leap their products forward. Vendors…
News has shifted into an entirely new era. Paraded in by the ease of access and the speed at which information is spread locally and globally, this new era of news is defined by the minute-by-minute commentary audiences can receive on almost any device, at any time. With more channels and formats to tell stories,…
This article was first published in the Raconteur issue “The Future CMO” in June 2022. People frantically looking up ‘How to…’ video guides was one of the defining features of Covid lockdowns. Without easy access to plumbers or builders, it was up to the video tutorial to help guide our shaky hands through fitting a…
The COVID-19 pandemic saw travelers around the world grounded for the better part of two years. The tourism industry experienced staggering losses in revenue as a result.

It’s March. The place is Bahrain. Rising in the air is a cacophony of noise. Well, maybe noise to some, but to fans who know the sound, that noise is a choir. It is a beautiful harmony created by engineering, science, and mechanical skill. It continues to rise and fall, like waves against a beach….
Physical fitness is an important part of many people’s lives, but challenging conditions in the world prompted the home fitness industry to reinvent itself. Fitness programs are also including mental health as a priority needing to be addressed. With all the recent innovations in this realm, content asset management for these advances must also run…
There is a new world emerging in front of us, and this realm of infinite possibilities has been a work-in-progress for nearly three decades. The year is 2020 and I haven’t changed out of my pajama pants in days. The outside world is quiet tonight, pandemic lockdown in full swing as it has been for…
The rise of esports has been incredible to watch. From its humble beginnings, esports has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar industry, generating incredible assets that are multiplying exponentially. With all the metadata generated from various events, what will the industry need to organize it all? With a platform like Dalet Flex, the viral highlights, the stories…
A new year welcomes us. We are now staring at what could be considered the proverbial blank slate. I know I tend to regard January as just that — a new beginning, a fresh start. However, when I look at a new year, I find myself also looking back as a ways and means for preparing…
Guest post by Jens Hasche, Partner at Simon-Kucher & Partners As one of the big buzzwords in recent years, it still seems necessary to shortly explain what “SaaS” really means. “SaaS” stands for “Software as a Service”.

Before 2020, the majority of news organizations treated the cloud-based newsroom as an interesting experiment: a technology that might become important in the future, but not necessarily essential part of present-day operations. Too many unknown variables to take into account with a cloud-based newsroom existed, and if the current workflow wasn’t broke, why fix it?…

Change was evident once the 24-hour news cycle became the standard by which journalists reported events. Today’s cycle includes news consumption over mobile apps, social media, podcasts, streaming media, and so much more. This demand driven by digital platforms calls for a new kind of approach to journalism and content production. Back in The Days:…
Could your brand’s media strategy help it become the Logan Paul of its sector? Strategists advise companies to imagine the extreme version of any new approach they are considering, gain insight from that point of view and then go back and find firm, suitable ground on which they can build and plan. A YouTuber redefines…
Welcome to part 2 of our discussion around hybrid deployments – i.e. partially on-premises and partially in the cloud – for Media Workflow solutions. Here’s the first post, in case you missed it. We looked at both the benefits and technical trade-offs when transitioning to cloud-based solutions, and how a hybrid architecture may provide the…
Over the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of enabling contributions from home across the media production and distribution supply chain. This has accelerated the transition to cloud-based solutions, which can often provide ways to address those challenges. But they do not come without technical trade-offs, and associated business transformations can prove…
