Description

Media and Entertainment Architecture for Cloud Services Media Factory 2022

This IDC Perspective explores the challenges and opportunities for technology vendors, content creators, and programmers for understanding the differences between applications and use cases as related to SaaS and managed services. Media customers are at an inflexion point, driven by key technology and market trends, new cloud-based products and services offerings, and general discussions about the overall health of the M&E industry. That said, there is optimism about the industry and the new opportunities yet to be developed and/or discovered.Over-the-top (OTT) distribution, free ad–supported television (FAST) cloud channel playout, and direct-to-consumer (DTC) business models are leading the adoption of cloud services for M&E. Alex Holtz, research director, IDC Media and Entertainment Strategies, remarked, "It is no longer about whether customers should adopt cloud services but rather how fast they can deploy solutions to drive more business as competition heats up and consumer adoption of streaming and interactive services continues to grow, placing increased demands on content creation, production, and distribution all with the metadata necessary for discovery and automated suggestions to facilitate the user experience. FAST-based OTT business models will dominate monetization strategies, live interactive sports programming will accelerate cord cutting and drive viewership to OTT, and technologies including AI/ML, data analytics, security, and open standards-based APIs will drive industry growth for the foreseeable future."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
