MESA Europe Announces Cloud Storage Workshop in London 19th May 2015

Published March 24, 2015

MESA Europe has revealed details of the next in its series of highly successful industry workshops. This time the attention will focus on Cloud Based Storage.

The workshop format provides a platform for content owners and distributors, together with their suppliers to share experiences, raise concerns and frustrations, and highlight areas where industry efficiencies may be gained.

“From our recent workshops it is clear that cost savings can be made through improved production workflows and better asset management” said Jim Bottoms, executive Director of MESA Europe.

“This message is as important for the big international organisations as it is for the smaller scale operators and niche content suppliers and distributors” he added.

Cloud Storage is increasingly being touted as a solution that will help with the above and could potentially assist in providing better access to a broader range of assets that are accrued and created throughout the life of a title. Whether it is scripts and production notes, promotional clips and posters, supporting metadata or the title itself, in all its localised versions and file formats, finding an improved path to the management and integration of all this content, in a totally secure environment is something that virtually everyone involved will see benefit from.

The Cloud Storage workshop will enable content owners and distributors, together with their supply partners to ask questions, learn from the experiences of others and highlight areas of concern moving forwards.

“All of the previous workshops point to a real need for a cost versus benefit analysis in order to help companies evaluate the improvements to asset management and production workflows that can be accrued. This is something we plan to dig into during the workshop with case study examples” said David Millar, Communications Director at MESA Europe.

Once again space at the workshop will be limited and with both the previous workshops oversubscribed interested parties are encouraged to register their interest early.
