Easily manage your online video content

Streaming providers need a way to efficiently manage their online video content. Having the right tools to do the job is crucial to succeed. But what exactly does that involve and why?

The keyword : Cloud-native



Cloud-native: A buzzword we keep hearing about. Using tools that are cloud-native is a game-changer for a streaming provider looking to improve and update their traditional workflow. Because everything is running in the cloud, several challenges are removed and multiple benefits are added. Let´s elaborate.



Collaboration efficiency - No more fragmented workflows between departments.


To manage a streaming service, you need involvement from several departments; marketing, product, programming, editorial, news and sports. And all of these departments are required  to contribute to the streaming service. The necessity of all departments working together proves the advantage of the platform´s true potential. However, for many media organisations today, the systems are not built for collaboration between departments; with overly complex workflows often siloed or completely decoupled from each other.

By moving your workflow to a cloud-native environment, you also remove these  challenges.

Scalability

Having the platform running in the cloud means that the content will scale automatically. No matter the number of viewers, the platform will scale accordingly giving all the users the best streaming experience. This means that you don't have to pay for usage, unless it is actually used.

One tool, several workflows, available from anywhere for easy collaboration.

With our CMS, Vimond VIA, we can offer you a solution where different workflows are gathered into one OTT system which can scale across staff and departments.
