These relationships are critical to fully understanding the needs of the market, so we can develop the technology that our customers need in order to thrive. Formalizing the interaction between our development teams and our customers through GVX is the perfect way for us to ensure we continue to drive advancements in technology and smart working models that will empower customers to build successful businesses for today and tomorrow.

The Customer Council is bringing reputable organizations to the table with different viewpoints and will play an active role in the development of our priorities.
Discovery collaborates with Grass Valleys production applications to ensure that it has best-in-class solutions to meet consumer demand for stunning quality content. Discovery Communications SVP EMEA Technology & Operations, Gordon Castle commented: It is extremely important for our business that we are heard as a customer, but it is also important for us to listen to the perspectives of other customers and Grass Valley through the GVX. It gives us a direct voice at the product roadmap desk and is enabling us to efficiently handle shifting markets.

The development of GVX ensures that market interaction is formally incorporated into GVs business DNA in a systematic, purposeful way. This council will convene on a regular basis to discuss market conditions, technological advancements and other themes that impact both suppliers and buyers. Outcomes of these interactions will provide a clear view, for all involved, of the current market landscape and the challenges that the industry is set to face in the future. Grass Valley will use the valuable insights from this key group of influencers to inform and validate its product development strategy.
This initiative, along with other initiatives such as AIMS and the GV Tech Alliance, create dynamic, collaborative relationships across the industry with customers, partners and standards bodies, Shoulders added. These activities deliver benefits not only for Grass Valley and its customers, but for the industry as a whole.
