Virtual Week
Cloud & Virtualization

The coronavirus pandemic has significantly accelerated the move to the cloud that was already underway. The leading BaM Content Chain® segments are Manage and Publish, but adoption is accelerating in every segment.

The Virtual Week will focus on everything related to cloudification and dematerialization of media operations, including innovative technology solutions to address social distancing, at-home production and distributed media workflows. Are we now heading all the way into the cloud and remote models? What are the technologies that are already enabling this move – and what’s coming next?

IABM Future Trends Live Delivery

This live panel session will focus on cloudification and dematerialization of media operations, including innovative technology solutions to address social distancing, at-home production and distributed media workflow.

We will be asking our panelists about how they have drastically shifted their risk preferences regarding moving to cloud-based operations along with the challenges that remain to be addressed for media technologists in cloud-based operations in production.

Hear from our experts about whether the industry still needs to develop when it comes to streamlining multi-cloud workflows and what the primary delivery mechanism will become as we emerge from the pandemic.

Finally, we will hear how these companies have changed their development practices with a greater focus on speed.
