SAP Imagines a New Streaming World at Sept. 10 Webinar

It’s not news that the streaming world has been through massive upheaval in recent years, going from a handful of players to a direct-to-consumer avalanche of options. Add on music, gaming, audiobook and podcast services, and you’re looking at one crowded media and entertainment streaming space.

On Sept. 10, during the 11 a.m. PT webinar “Brace Yourselves for the Next Disruption in the Media Industry” SAP will bring together a trio of industry experts to look ahead at what’s next for the industry, especially in a post-pandemic reality.

“We’ll discuss how the industry is re-imagining production, maximizing your media value in a supply constrained world, and shifting from a distribution to a consumption paradigm,” said Richard Whittington, SVP of M&E, industries and customer advisory for SAP. Whittington will be joined by Jake Hoskins, co-founder and CEO of project management software firm Tripgrid, and Amos Biegun, global head of rights and royalties, for Vistex, a close SAP partner in the M&E industry.

Part of their discussion will examine how many networks and content companies are focusing on building their own platforms and developing their own content today, and what that bodes for the future of the streaming business. Those who start re-imagining what the industry will look like in the next several years today will be well prepared for the needed technological changes on the horizon.
