Organizations who need to monetize or exploit their archives, require instant and predictable access to content and metadata, from anywhere, at any time. For example, newly built content distribution channels require a steady flow of content to ensure the viewing community stays engaged whilst archivists need to ensure content is authentic, secure, and available on-demand, especially in News or Sports environments.
In order to achieve these goals, content and metadata needs to be curated, portable, and stored in non-proprietary formats so it can be exploited, shared, re-used, or moved to new platforms. If you are primarily using LTO or ODA platforms to access your content, this can be inefficient, time-consuming, and operationally detrimental to your organization. As a result, many organizations are looking to replace or augment those platforms with more modern alternatives.
