Mediafly enables revolutionary delivery method in a pilot for studio execs and staff to review production content
Major studio explores new alternative to traditional content distribution methods to decrease costs and increase functionality
Mediafly announces a pilot program to use the Mediafly Enterprise
Distribution Platform with a major studio to revolutionize the way
production content is distributed internally to executives, editors,
producers, and staff around the world.
Major studios spend significant amounts of money distributing
production footage to staff around the world. Most rely in part on
physical media such as DVDs, which may also be subject to loss or
intellectual property theft.
Early explorations into web-based systems have fallen short because
they lacked the usability and easy portability of the legacy system.
Options requiring viewers to sit in front of a computer have not proved
to be either a popular or convenient way for internal staff to
experience content. Most people prefer solutions (such as DVDs) that
can be easily watched from the comfort of the couch on a big screen TV
(without technical hurdles).
Mediafly makes it easy to securely deliver digital production
content to convenient devices– while restricting access to selected
individuals. By using Mediafly, studios no longer need to decide which
Internet devices to support with costly internally developed
applications. The sophisticated Mediafly platform allows companies
to leverage, with one platform, nearly all popular Internet-enabled
devices - devices which their staff, associates, excutives, vendors,
and customers already use.
Of course, distribution of studio content is not merely about ease
of use and cost reductions. Especially in these days of digital
piracy, security is certainly a key component for intellectual property
protection. "The Mediafly Platform leverages a very sophisticated
application and server architecture to ensure the security of content
while not sacrificing usability," said Mediafly CEO, Carson Conant. "We
want corporate users to be able to enjoy their content in a protected
environment such that they don’t need to worry about security breaches."
In the current economic times, many companies are facing financial
pressures and wrestling with the transition to digital technologies.
The Mediafly Enterprise Platform is currently in pilot testing with
several major studios and Fortune 500™ companies. In each case,
Mediafly’s solutions provide the rare opportunity to drastically reduce
costs while also improving usability and efficiency.
