In consumer streaming services, the key to success lies in the ability to effortlessly deliver engaging content to your audiences. Behind the scenes is the intricate dance of finding the perfect tools and solutions to ensure your streaming service purrs like a finely tuned machine. But there are also moments where change becomes a necessity. It’s there that the challenging expedition of transitioning to the appropriate systems arises. A path filled with unexpected obstacles and intricate puzzles, ready to challenge even the most experienced teams.
Therefore the teams in Bitmovin and Vimond have set out to make these seemingly cumbersome processes more accessible, more manageable, and ultimately, more efficient.
So, if you are looking to change systems - this article is for you.
When migrating a media library and OTT Platform over to a new supplier, there are often years of content, a range of formats, a mess of asset relations, linked metadata, images of different shapes and sizes. Often stored in different places in legacy or proprietary systems. Some of this material can be difficult to access, or is hidden from system users as less scrupulous suppliers have used such techniques to become ´more sticky´, and have created the kind of Vendor Lock-In that we work hard to avoid and help our customers break free from.
These implicit challenges present significant obstacles for current users of certain video hosting platforms, impacting their overall workflow efficiency, customization options, user experience, and support accessibility.
Migrating your video streaming library opens up opportunities to enhance your offerings for the modern market. Vimond and Bitmovin empower businesses to re-encode media into optimal formats, ensuring seamless streaming across a wide range of devices and bandwidths. By updating formats and preparing the media library to meet current standards, organizations can experience additional benefits, such as reduced streaming costs, improved operational efficiency, and a commitment to environmental responsibility.
Both Vimond and Bitmovin offer highly customizable solutions, allowing businesses to tailor their streaming workflows to specific requirements. This flexibility ensures a seamless transition from legacy systems, as organizations can recreate and improve their existing setups within the new platforms. By leveraging an extensive set of APIs and developer tools, users can integrate their legacy components and gradually migrate to the new environment without disrupting ongoing operations.
