FROM ACQUISITION AND RIGHTS MANAGEMENT TO PLANNING AND SCHEDULING THROUGH TO PUBLICATION AND BEYOND –
WE’RE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE

When you get right down to it, you can say that we provide a kind of ERP system for media companies that offer their viewers content on diverse channels and platforms. It consists of modular software solutions in a flexible, hybrid framework supporting the media companies’ gradual adoption of cloud technologies and cloud deployment models.

After more than a quarter-century of close collaboration with an ever-growing international customer community, we rank among the top tech vendors in the international media industry.

What we particularly pride ourselves on is that we enable our customers to better engage their audiences, contain costs, and optimize content ROI. We do this by helping them automate the content life cycles, and orchestrate and transform their digital content supply chain from acquisition and rights management to planning and scheduling through to publication and smart analytics.

In this age of accelerating change with people watching video content anywhere anytime on an increasing array of devices, our innovative software solutions are at the heart of future-fit media operation ecosystems.

Our customers include public and commercial radio and TV stations, on-demand platforms, OTT streamers, telcos and their service providers.  BBC, Discovery, ViacomCBS, … they all go for growth in this excitingly fast-paced media world. And we are proud to be right by their side.
