Encompass Digital Media Asia
Builds New Value-Added Broadcast Management Service With
Pilat Media’s IBMS Express
Pilat Media announced that Encompass Digital Media Asia,
one of the world’s top digital media services providers
and a leader in global satellite and terrestrial
connectivity, has launched a value-added service for its
clients using Pilat Media’s IBMS Express
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform. IBMS Express is a
modular and scalable entry-level business management
system for broadcasters, based on Pilat Media’s
industry-leading broadcast management solutions.
“Encompass, together with the digital media industry,
continues to grow rapidly in the region and we recently
announced the origination and transmission of 100
channels from our Singapore facility,” said Deepakjit
Singh, managing director, Encompass Digital Media Asia.
“We are very excited to deploy IBMS Express to make it
simple for our users to add channels and services, and
bring new operational efficiencies to their operations
as their businesses expand.”
Encompass Digital Media Asia provides an international
teleport and the full range of playout, master control,
media management, and global archiving services. With
its new broadcast management service based on IBMS
Express, Encompass is offering its clients three
operational models: a fully managed service in which
Encompass provides all staff and performs all data
entry, scheduling, reconciliation, and other business
management tasks; a dry hire service in which Encompass
provides access and 24x7 support, but the client
performs all business management tasks; and a hybrid
service in which Encompass and the client jointly handle
business management tasks and Encompass provides access
and 24x7 support.
“The new IBMS Express-based service will enable
Encompass and its clients to operate more efficiently
and profitably, with staff focused on value-added
activities across the broadcast operation chain,” said
Fabrice Beer-Gabel, senior vice president of sales and
marketing, Pilat Media. “With a growing channel
footprint across the region, Encompass Digital Media
Asia is a powerhouse for a wide range of critical media
services. IBMS Express will be key to the success of
such an operation, giving it the ability to remain
efficient and generate revenues while dealing with
increased workloads, more services, and a growing number
of clients and channels.”
IBMS Express can be quickly deployed to address the full
range of business management functions including
scheduling, media, airtime sales, traffic, and reporting
for linear and on-demand multiscreen services. Deployed
as an SaaS to minimize IT investment and maintenance,
IBMS Express is offered with a “pay-as-you-grow” pricing
model. IBMS Express is designed to be easily configured
and ready for use in a matter of weeks, with Pilat
Media’s professional services team providing
configuration, training, and ongoing maintenance of the
live system. |
