Accedo – Is AVOD really all the rage?
AVOD has garnered a lot of attention over the past few years, with some sources forecasting that its global market will reach over 71 billion USD by 2030; a significant increase compared to the 28 billion USD reported in 2023. Changes in user spending habits and a challenged microeconomic climate have certainly played a role in accelerating adoption but do ad-funded business models really deserve all the hype? Keen to understand the latest consumer trends and preferences, Accedo recently carried out a survey of 2,000 global consumers to assess the appetite for ad-funded versus subscription-based video streaming services, also examining what constitutes a good ad experience. The findings were somewhat surprising.
Zixi – Driving sustainability through total cost of ownership reductions
In the current environment of organizational cost-cutting amid the push for global corporate profitability, media organizations must continually pursue efficient and cost-effective solutions to manage their large-scale implementations.

Veset – Why cloud playout is fast becoming critical for live broadcasting
Cloud playout is nothing new – many broadcasters and service providers have already switched to the cloud for playout of content. A few media organizations were ahead of the game and switched playout to the cloud as long ago as 2016 (Discovery for one), and many others have since followed in their footsteps. Having said that, there’s still plenty of media companies and broadcasters who still operate playout from on-premises infrastructure. And there are also those that have chosen to go with a hybrid approach using cloud playout for some content delivery such as FAST while retaining traditional playout for content such as live news and sports broadcasting.
Tedial – Navigating the complexities and unpredictability of media operations
The landscape of the media industry has undergone a remarkable transformation, fueled by the rapid evolution of software technology and the proliferation of omnichannel streaming platforms. The swift advancements in digital cloud technology are placing considerable strain on applications and solutions vendors within the Media and Entertainment (M&E) market.
The unease is evident when communicating that media operations are inherently intricate and unpredictable. Anyone claiming simplicity or ease has likely not experienced the challenges present in the real-world scenario. This scenario is not novel; a similar shift occurred over a decade ago in more established IT markets, such as health, finance, and retail. During that time, vendors justified shortcomings and high budgets by emphasizing the inherent complexities of supply chains.
To expedite digital transformation in the M&E market, software technology vendors must embrace best practices and tools developed in more mature IT markets. This entails adopting no-code solutions that ensure interoperability, scalability, resilience, and security.
