CoreMedia Launches New CMS for Media and Entertainment

CoreMedia recently announced the availability of a new content management solution tailored for the media and entertainment industry. The CoreMedia Solution for Media and Entertainment provides a comprehensive CMS solution for broadcasters, publishers and media portal providers to create and deliver highly optimized and contextual experiences for their online audiences.

As the demand for anywhere, anytime access to content intensifies, media and entertainment companies are forced to constantly innovate and build their revenues through monetizing a demanding online audience — while at the same time reducing costs and consolidating their operational activities. With the CoreMedia Solution for Media and Entertainment, CoreMedia claims that companies can immediately enhance productivity and audience engagement while positioning themselves to uncover new revenue opportunities.

The solution combines CoreMedia’s best-of-breed, on-premise WCM platform with new capabilities and applications designed specifically to meet the needs of media and entertainment companies. Companies can also opt for cloud-based SaaS media and entertainment applications from CoreMedia partners Internet Broadcasting and T-Systems Multimedia Solutions that leverage CoreMedia’s CMS.

“Media and entertainment companies today are at a critical juncture — to be competitive they must reinvent themselves and radically adapt their business models to capture and monetize an online audience,” said Glenn Conradt, Vice President, Global Marketing and North America for CoreMedia. “Winners will succeed in redefining their marketplace with relevant and compelling digital content delivered with operational excellence. CoreMedia - with 15 years’ experience, its roots in media and now with the CoreMedia Solution for Media and Entertainment - is empowering online publishers to unlock the value of their content to build, expand and monetize a loyal and engaged online audience.”

The contextualization capability of the CoreMedia Solution for Media and Entertainment is likely to be cornerstone for helping companies to attract loyal visitors to their site. “Context-aware computing enables companies to target and deliver relevant content to their target audiences more effectively and therefore build loyalty. For media and entertainment companies in particular, incorporating this capability into their online strategy is a business decision they cannot afford to pass up,” said Mick MacComascaigh, Research VP, Gartner, Inc. “Whether it’s on the tablet, smartphone or browser, the new reality for the industry today is that the right content must be delivered to the right audience at the right time or profit margins will suffer.”
