Strategic Implications for Future Content Management Systems

The broadcasting industry is facing massive investment requirements for digital production and distribution technology. At the same time, industry competitive relationships are changing, business models being challenged, delivery mechanisms changing and content formats proliferating. Asset and media management systems pose particularly difficult investment decisions because of their central role in the production infrastructure and their cost. After reviewing the business issues, the paper suggests that content management systems should expect to work in distributed, federated and collaborative contexts. This implies specific requirements on content management systems for content location and identification, for version and configuration management, and for project and task control systems.
