Winning the day with media revenue management

In this lightning-fast digital era, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technologies are changing how we select and view media content on global platforms. Being able to produce and license more content has an inevitable downstream impact on productivity. Eliminating potential revenue loss, reducing incorrect reporting, improving overall margins and maximizing revenue opportunities for your content catalog are essential.

Media revenue management: It’s complicated

Managing your complex billing and mediation ecosystem is one of your most significant challenges. Multiple revenue streams and diverse billing and payment systems demand coordination across your finance, operations and information technology (IT) teams.

Additional revenue management challenges include:

• Competition from an influx of new companies entering the market
• Hundreds of different streaming services, websites and apps offer content
• Lower-priced alternatives to traditional media, including pirated content and free streaming
• Audiences accustomed to immediate satisfaction who are less willing to pay for content
