In today's rapidly evolving media landscape, organizations are navigating major transformations aimed at enhancing their agility, expanding service offerings, and optimizing operational efficiency. On one front, teams are restructuring to handle a broader range of activities, such as seamlessly managing both radio and television services. Simultaneously, significant investments are being made to transition from fixed SDI (Serial Digital Interface) facilities to all-IP infrastructures. This shift aims to enhance infrastructure sharing and operational flexibility. Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions are also being leveraged to accelerate time to market, albeit with potential cost challenges if not orchestrated efficiently.
As media organizations embark on this transformative journey, they quickly experience the pressing need for a fresh operational approach inspired by state-of-the-art IT technologies and best-practices. This is where DataMiner stands out, a proven platform that is the preferred choice of media organizations already since a long time, offering comprehensive solutions for deploying, controlling, monitoring, automating, and orchestrating media services and workflows.
Unlike the typical vendor-specific solutions, which are reminiscent of the past era of media ecosystems, the DataMiner platform offers a comprehensive open suite of modular functions supported by a vast global open community. This includes professional, top-tier platform security, user authentication and authorization, audit trailing, novel cloud functions, artificial intelligence-powered insights, and integrations with various ICT systems, such as IP address management, CMDBs, maintenance and change management systems, trouble ticketing, collaboration tools, and more. Moreover, DataMiner enables continuous innovation through its industry-standard Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for solution evolution.
