How to go really fast with FAST?
Scalability and short Time-to-Value
- How to get up and running quickly—without heavy upfront costs and infrastructure—and scale up and down dynamically?
- How to schedule multiple channels at speed, instantly finding/sequencing the right content and assigning the right materials?
- How to deal with unplanned changes and updates?
How to do more with less?
Combining quality with automation
- How to automate for minimum effort and maximum control (material planning, episode planning, rights verification, promotion planning, playlist timing, on-screen messaging)?
- How to relieve pressure on the headcount? Can all operations (e.g. segmentation, ad insertion) be touchless for high-quality channels? Are completely touchless channels the next thing?
How to steer clear of legal pitfalls?
Rights validation & compliance
- How to achieve automated, multi-level verification of complex rights, restrictions and obligations.
- Which rights are applicable, VOD or Linear?
- How to ensure you are compliant everywhere (commercial payload, parental guidance, reporting on copyright usage and as-runs)?
How to keep viewers engaged?
Scheduling & promotion strategies
- Which scheduling strategy and tools to apply to cater for binge watching (scheduling back to back), viewing habits (fixed day or week structure), and appointment viewing (fixed start times), while enabling live streams for sports, newscasts and events and creative combinations of VOD and Linear (start-over or switching to VOD)?
- ‘Sticky’ content, yes, but archive or originals, cheap or premium?
- How to attract eyeballs with promotions and on-screen messages, and how to measure viewership/commercial success?
