The Multi-Platform Distribution Conundrum

How to Bring Together Content Management and Monetization in Multi-Platform World

This Research Brief is part of the Digital Media Research Service


Today’s consumers live in a world of exploding options for delivery and consumption of video content. They no longer consume most of their video content from linear broadcast delivery on a single TV, but watch it on a mix of end-user platforms that leverage time and place-shifted technologies, all wrapped in a number of potential ad and pay-based models. A recent ABI Research survey of online US households shows how today’s consumers are adopting many of these technologies, from physical media such as DVDs to service provider VOD to online and mobile TV. This Research Brief looks at how the digital media value chain is increasingly fractured in a world of multi-platform distribution, and how some enabling software and services vendors are trying to provide a broader toolset for customers to handle the publication and distribution of content as it finds new paths to the consumer.
