Many organisations retain their legacy on-premise infrastructure and business model.<\/p>\n<p>Yet those that have taken the transformation leap\u00a0can\u00a0now\u00a0stand as exemplars to\u00a0newcomers.\u00a0Their innovation has\u00a0prompted the creation of many\u00a0media-specific tools and services\u00a0in the cloud\u00a0which\u00a0are now tried, tested and\u00a0good\u00a0to go.<\/p>\n<p>In its new report,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedpp.com\/news\/dpp-charts-the-path-to-the-cloud-for-media-companies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Cloud for Media<\/a>,\u00a0the\u00a0Digital Production\u00a0Partnership\u00a0(DPP) examines the practical benefits of the cloud for\u00a0media companies\u00a0and\u00a0software vendors\u00a0to the industry.\u00a0It\u00a0guides\u00a0companies through cloud technology, strategy, migration, economics, and the skills and governance\u00a0they\u2019ll\u00a0need to make transformation a success.<\/p>\n<p>So\u00a0what\u00a0are the advantages of migrating\u00a0media\u00a0workflows\u00a0to\u00a0the cloud?\u00a0What kind of changes do you need to prepare for? And what are the key takeaways from\u00a0this\u00a0report?<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of the cloud<\/h2>\n<p>To leverage the full potential of cloud technology, media companies will need to commit to a new business strategy. That\u2019s because migration changes existing business practices and relationships. To carry these changes through, your finance, technology and operational teams really need to be fully behind them.<\/p>\n<p>In theory, this shouldn\u2019t be controversial. The cloud will enable them to simplify processes, cut costs, and be more productive through being able to automate tedious tasks. Meanwhile, it can also free the wider business to adapt, experiment and innovate.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look\u00a0at five\u00a0more industry-specific\u00a0benefits.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px\">1. Collaborative production<\/h4>\n<p>The cloud enables more collaborative workflows, especially in content production. Many producers have successfully adopted Software as a Service (SaaS) tools such as collaborative document editing, file storage and resource planning. With very little training, they can quickly benefit from an excellent user experience.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px\">2. Secure remote work<\/h4>\n<p>The cloud\u2019s role in enabling remote and mobile working \u2013 supported by premium collaboration tools \u2013 is well known. Powerful cloud security solutions will also help protect your employees\u2019 applications, data and devices. For example, single sign-on and multi-factor authentication (MFA) free staff to securely access their tools and resources whenever they need them. From anywhere.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-full size-full webp-format\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/09\/WIN20_PRO_RemoteWorking_007.jpeg-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A man in a Teams online workshop about building an AI-ready culture.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" data-orig-srcset=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/09\/WIN20_PRO_RemoteWorking_007.jpeg-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/09\/WIN20_PRO_RemoteWorking_007.jpeg-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/09\/WIN20_PRO_RemoteWorking_007.jpeg-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/09\/WIN20_PRO_RemoteWorking_007.jpeg-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/09\/WIN20_PRO_RemoteWorking_007.jpeg-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/09\/WIN20_PRO_RemoteWorking_007.jpeg-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/09\/WIN20_PRO_RemoteWorking_007.jpeg-330x248.jpg 330w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/09\/WIN20_PRO_RemoteWorking_007.jpeg-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/09\/WIN20_PRO_RemoteWorking_007.jpeg-400x300.jpg 400w\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/09\/WIN20_PRO_RemoteWorking_007.jpeg-scaled.jpg\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px\">3. Agile content delivery<\/h4>\n<p>With cloud-based workflows, you can speed up the supply chain. That\u2019s because, once content is in the cloud, both software and people can access it directly, without a series of distributions. This can be especially useful for news broadcasting and live sports, in which breaking news or a winning goal can be shared with all distribution channels in near-real time. Better still, you could even look to automate the process.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px\">4. Global distribution<\/h4>\n<p>A lot of\u00a0large OTT platforms are run in the cloud, serving\u00a0video to viewers using\u00a0content delivery networks\u00a0(CDNs).\u00a0If you\u2019re\u00a0dealing with multiple regions, demand\u00a0can be unpredictable. But\u00a0the cloud\u00a0allows you to scale delivery,\u00a0without over-provisioning,\u00a0to match\u00a0changing\u00a0demand.\u00a0You can also use it\u00a0to\u00a0deliver\u00a0live, broadcast-grade\u00a0content and channels\u00a0online\u00a0(as\u00a0several\u00a0providers\u00a0do for\u00a0major sports).<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px\">5. Broadcast<\/h4>\n<p>Cloud-based channel playout and linear\u00a0channel origination\u00a0is\u00a0finally\u00a0on the rise.\u00a0Protocols like RIST, SRT, and\u00a0Zixi,\u00a0combined with\u00a0gradually improving connectivity and\u00a0bandwidth, have enabled\u00a0live streams\u00a0to be transported\u00a0into, around and out of the cloud.\u00a0A note of caution: connectivity\u00a0remains an area for\u00a0attention.<\/p>\n<h2>Three practical tips for cloud migration<\/h2>\n<p>Each organisation will have its own migration journey, dictated by its individual business and customer needs. But the report highlights three key takeaways that will apply for all media companies.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px\">1. Engage your\u00a0whole organisation<\/h4>\n<p>First, get your CFO on-side. You\u2019ll need their support, because the cloud uses an OpEx rather than a CapEx model. Next, work with the business to rethink workflows \u2013 don\u2019t just migrate them to the cloud. Finally, to build support on your journey, regularly communicate the end to end strategy and provide training so your teams have the right skills to work alongside the latest technology.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px\">2. Go \u2018cloud native\u2019<\/h4>\n<p>In other words, create solutions that exploit the cloud\u2019s capabilities. That means taking advantage of its scalability, agility, resilience, performance and cost-effectiveness. Make sure your solutions are also built with security in mind. Consider factors like identity, access management, and encryption.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px\">3. Commit to the process<\/h4>\n<p>Define a strategy and plan, and get going. Break your migration journey into manageable steps by migrating individual business areas or workflows one at a time. Move whole workflows to avoid migrating content in and out of the cloud too often (which adds cost and time to the process).<\/p>\n<p>A practical way to learn about technology is to get hands-on with it \u2013 perhaps with a straightforward use case. The cost of experimenting is low, so why not try building a component that takes advantage of cloud capabilities, then tracking its performance and fine-tuning it? Or build a different component. Either way, it\u2019s time to seize the day.<\/p>\n<h2>Find out more<\/h2>\n<p>Download the report: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedpp.com\/news\/dpp-charts-the-path-to-the-cloud-for-media-companies\">The Cloud for Media<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Discover more: <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/blog\/azure-media-services-new-ai-powered-innovation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Azure Media Services&#8217; new AI-powered innovation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read about NBA and Microsoft&#8217;s new partnership: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.microsoft.com\/2020\/04\/16\/nba-announces-new-multiyear-partnership-with-microsoft-to-redefine-and-personalize-the-fan-experience\/?from=DigestNotification&amp;e=6YgTamkZd0aTR-vic63mfw&amp;at=9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Redefining and personalising the fan experience<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Join the conversation at Envision<\/h2>\n<p>Digital technology is changing not just how organisations operate but how leaders lead.
