Challenges with Traditional Media Content Distribution

The linear production system has been usually slow as most of the departments heavily rely on each other for the completion of desired activities. The production stages are siloed, marked with isolated technology platforms, and thus require constant content ingestion in each production phase. Dependability on physical videotapes meant the extra burden of power, space, and maintenance for storing archived and stock content. This leaves little room for complicated Content Distribution and Management workflows ending up with time, money and effort-costing outcomes.

Processing

The type of content to be produced hugely influences the processing aspect of the media industry. With the format and context of digital content continue to evolve and grow – addressing device, screen, and viewing priorities of consumers – they require standalone processing capacity and efforts.

Technology

The need for comprehensive content management software that touches the complete media production and distribution lifecycle makes media companies go for custom-built solutions or adopt dissimilar software into the process – making the workflow prone to redundancies

Organizing

With huge demand to go for digital and redefined consumer preferences, traditional media companies sometimes make the hurried transition – without making a truly scalable model for operability. Staffs suffer from the lack of understanding of new practices, absence of allocating decision rights make security best practices confusing
