PUBLISH & MONETISE BaM™Award Nominee - Simplestream - The answer to creating a ‘Netflix-style’ video service The Subscription Video on Demand (SVoD) market has traditionally been skewed in favour of large, global players –such as Netflix and Amazon – that have the capital investment, infrastructure and personnel to deploy and manage such services. However, there is now the opportunity for smaller, niche content owners to break into the market, scale–up, and reach their intended audiences with meaningful and relevant content. Simplestream has helped make this possible with their VOD-in-a-Box solution: an end-to-end, white label service that enables the rapid launch of next-generation TV Everywhere services across multiple screens and territories. This fast to market, cross-platform solution can be deployed in under six weeks and is designed to be a low maintenance, cost effective option for content owners and distributors. Centralised control of all content and metadata through one portal, flexible monetisation options, powerful user interface (UI) frameworks, and flexible commercial models are the backbone differentiators that VOD-in-a-Box offers.

Business and commercial updates: Contracts in the Cloud: are you GDPR compliant? This article originally appeared in the IABM Journal, issue 105 which is available to view online here Curated by IABM Finance Director Lucinda Meek Business and commercial updates Talking with members at various shows and events, it became clear to me that they would find it useful if IABM could provide briefings on topical, general business operational concerns alongside the wide range of broadcast and media industry- specific information we already offer members. That’s why we’ve introduced the new Business and Commercial Updates section to the Journal and in this edition, we are looking at cyber liability insurance, the potential effects of the new data protection regulations on contracts in the cloud, and an integrated approach to marketing. I would welcome suggestions from members for future topics, and will myself continue to search out relevant, authoritative analysis and guidance on topical business issues. Things continue to change at such a pace that I am certain there will be no shortage of new subjects to examine! Contracts in the Cloud: are you GDPR compliant?

Global Business Environment
Global Business Environment This article is taken from the December 2017 IABM Business Intelligence Digest Overview The majority of the global economy is experiencing growth. IMF projections of world output growth in 2017 have increased from 3.5% forecast in April to 3.6% as of October. The IMF forecasts 2.2% growth in advanced economies in 2017, an increase from 2% in April. Similarly, for developing and emerging economies, the IMF forecast increased from 6.6% to 6.8% for 2017. This positive outlook is spurred by increased consumer spending and business investments as confidence increases, however growth in some developed nations remains weak in the medium-term due to low inflation and slow wage growth. Commodity prices, especially oil, have made little progress in gaining momentum globally, impacting oil-exporting nations. The IMF has warned nations not to get complacent with recent growth figures, as policy uncertainty and political tensions could threaten progress in certain regions making sustainability difficult. Chart 1 shows that oil prices have declined since 2014 and have not been able to recover to their previous level, staying around the $50 mark. Analysts have forecast that oil prices will remain around the US $50/ US $60 mark with only modest increases in...
