New Media Industry Research Shows Growing Executive Confidence in Media Asset Management to Drive Growth
Survey of 125 global media leaders shows that 66% lowered multi-platform distribution costs, 50% improved collaboration, and 54% enabled new revenue streams using media asset management (MAM) technology
Burlington, MA, July 23, 2015 Avid (Nasdaq: AVID) today announced new research findings that reveal how the leaders of major global media enterprises are using MAM to improve collaboration and operational efficiency, reduce costs, drive revenue, and deliver a higher return on investment (ROI). The independent study was conducted by Ovum and commissioned by Avid, one of the largest suppliers of media asset management (MAM) solutions in the marketplace, and the company behind Avid Everywhere . The research demonstrates that industry leaders are driving substantial gains by using MAM to enhance collaboration, lower multi-platform distribution costs, and open new revenue streams.

Ovum's latest research convincingly demonstrates how cutting-edge MAM solutions, such as Avid Interplay | MAM, enable global media enterprises to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and effectively manage the entire media content lifecycle.

By deploying a unified MAM system, media enterprises can streamline multi-platform asset distribution and monetize premium time-based media assets on multiple non-linear channels.
The Ovum research shows that integrated digital content platforms are essential for competing in today's content everywhere world. MAM boosts collaboration and productivity by enabling production teams to access media assets from any location. MAM solutions help media enterprises to reduce lifecycle costs and deliver content to audiences via new multi-platform delivery services. By using MAM as a strategic tool to accelerate multi-platform asset monetization, organizations can gain significant ROI.
