March of 2020, when much of the world went into quarantine, is a month most of us will not forget. For most businesses there was uncertainty and for many there was chaos as they scrambled to set up remote work environments and adapt quickly to new regulations without clarity on how long the situation would last. Since that time, the M&E industry has gone through immense change, and the disruption that the coronavirus pandemic caused has brought new workflows and, in many cases, accelerated changes that were already happening.

At Dejero we know just how critical it is to stay connected when it comes to live video and real-time data. We've made it our mission to provide reliable connectivity in any scenario; from the top of a mountain, at a crowded festival, a fan-filled sports venue, in the eye of a storm, in a moving vehicle or even from home during a pandemic.

Software as a Service is here to stay – It’s the sector that’s predicted to hit well over $600 billion in global value by 2023 (FinancesOnline). Let’s recap – SaaS is the prime method of software delivery, where software and applications are hosted remotely via a vendor. SaaS applications are made available to customers through a network, which often requires a regular subscription to access. Here at PlayBox we’ve championed the countless benefits of truly utilising the cloud with cloud-native SaaS – see Cosmos Technology – and we’re here to share some of those benefits with you.

All news organizations – broadcast, cable, print, digital native, radio – have become multimedia platforms, and they compete not just against each other but against every other form of screen time. What news organizations really need to focus on – more than ever – are the dramatic shifts in audience behavior and the fierce competition for screen time. They need the agility to experiment with different platforms, formats and tones of voice in order to reach fickle young audiences. Recent studies by the Reuters Institute and SmithGeiger, an international research and consulting company, underscore the need for media companies to make their products more relevant and fun – and more readily available.
