Andreas Eriksson, Head of Telstra Broadcast Services, gives his predictions for the Broadcast & Media Industry in 2021.
Driving the consolidation of media transport and enterprise services into a single WAN
While the industry was already increasingly moving towards models of remote and distributed working in all aspects of the workflow, the events of 2020 have provided a dramatic accelerant to this trend. The requirements of Covid-mandated social distancing protocols have added to the already compelling economic arguments for remote work, and meant that media organisations are looking for solutions that can accommodate the data flows of the new IP-based broadcast ecosystem reliably and securely with the high performance criteria that broadcast video — especially live broadcast video — requires.
Discussing Risk- Designing Resilient Supply Chains – Fireside Chat
In the fireside chat, Carl discusses Telstra’s 2015 acquisition of Globecast Australia, the risk of designing a Broadcast operations Centre into a tier-4 data centre whilst moving a 24/7 Master Control Room, ensuring services weren’t disrupted, and security implications of joining a global telecommunications company. 5 years on, we look at managing the risk and benefits of business and infrastructure growth outside of Asia Pacific.
Covid success story: Telstra
Over the last decade, with the likes of Uber, Monzo and Netflix dominating and disrupting traditional industries, we’ve seen first-hand the revolutionary potential of digital transformation. The acceleration of digital technology has become a buzzword yet again in 2020 with the emergence of Covid-19. The pandemic has sped up several incubating trends over the last four months and digital is now a universal requirement for every business that remains in business today. It is also the means to productivity and resilience from future crises and shocks.
Telstra Broadcast Services: five years of global growth driven by a start-up mentality
Telstra Broadcast Services (TBS) celebrates five years of managed media and broadcast services, innovation and industry firsts.
Since its acquisition by Telstra in 2015, TBS has gone from strength to strength and seen great success in the broadcast industry. It has experienced exponential growth over the last five years supported by a large global company while still successfully maintaining a small business culture. Operating as a subsidiary, TBS has been equipped with a unique and agile business model more akin to a start-up than a major global player on the broadcast stage which sees the company promoting knowledge sharing and autonomous operation for its employees and value creation for its customers while excelling in the fast-paced broadcast industry.
