Mediasmiths has created unique adaptive and agile techniques that dramatically improve the rollout of multiple hardware and software technologies across media businesses. This has been achieved by looking again from the ground up at media technology, and using lessons learned from successful IT projects to streamline software integration and system testing and reduce risk when implementing new processes and systems.
Media organisations are in the middle of a period of substantial change, with developments in consumer technology and habits changing the way that people consume content, and the emergence of more IT-based systems in video technology changing the way that content is created and distributed.
Historically audio and video technologies have been more ‘black box’ and hardware oriented. The growth of IT in media technology has added considerably more software components and has made the procurement of media technology systems more complex.
Media technology implementations are often characterised by late delivery and going over budget. We believe that this is mainly because more traditional 'waterfall' implementation methods are fundamentally unsuited to media technology system implementations.
