In consumer streaming services, the key to success lies in the ability to deliver engaging content to your audiences effortlessly.
Behind the scenes lies the intricate dance of finding the perfect tools and solutions to ensure your streaming service runs smoothly like a finely tuned machine. But there are also moments where change becomes a necessity. It’s there that the challenging expedition of transitioning to the appropriate systems arises. A path filled with unexpected obstacles and intricate puzzles, ready to challenge even the most experienced teams.
Therefore, the teams in Bitmovin and Vimond have set out to make these seemingly cumbersome processes more accessible, more manageable, and ultimately, more efficient.
So, if you are looking to change systems, this article is for you.
Often seen challenges
When migrating a media library and OTT Platform over to a new supplier, there are often years of content, a range of formats, a mess of asset relations, linked metadata, and images of different shapes and sizes, often stored in other places in legacy or proprietary systems. Some of this material can be difficult to access, or is hidden from system users as less scrupulous suppliers have used such techniques to become ´more sticky´, and have created the kind of Vendor Lock-In that we work hard to avoid and help our customers break free from.
Do these challenges sound familiar?
- Multiple verticals: Some video hosting platforms cater to various verticals, which may lead to a lack of specialisation and tailored solutions for each industry. This approach could leave customers struggling to find the ideal fit for their unique requirements. Furthermore, these platforms may suffer from a bad UI interface, causing frustration and hindering the user experience for both content creators and consumers.
- Limited curation capabilities: When it comes to content curation, current customers may face limitations, hindering their ability to organise and showcase their video content effectively. The lack of robust curation capabilities may result in a less personalised and engaging viewing experience for their audience
- Limited in regional support: In terms of support resources, customers might find themselves grappling with a lack of regional support, making it challenging to receive timely assistance or localised services.
These implicit challenges present significant obstacles for current users of certain video hosting platforms, impacting their overall workflow efficiency, customisation options, user experience, and support accessibility.
