Ensuring digital effectiveness requires insights into how subscriber and billing processes enable revenue and financial outcomes. Effective digital environments can maximize customer investments, provide the subscriber experiences desired by consumers and optimize engagement through web, social and dedicated gaming platforms.

First- and second-party data needs to be managed and utilized in a manner that is known and trusted to protect organizations from legal pursuits. The need to better bind digital security and protect against cybersecurity and threats must be blended from CISO to CIO and ensure a more prudent approach is taken.

        The media and entertainment industry is working through a portfolio of digital investments to ensure technology across the enterprise has the needed intelligence and provides value to subscribers.

        The media and entertainment industry has a significant opportunity to advance its digital effectiveness, gaining a competitive edge through technology. Organizations should assess the level of digital transformation required to utilize readily available advanced technological approaches to deliver the experiences customers expect from their media and entertainment services. Our analysis finds that digital business and technology investments must be aligned to support fundamental subscriber and financial performance and processes. Ventana Research recommends that media and entertainment organizations dramatically shift their technology investments to more agile and modern digital and cloud architectures that support the subscriber and unified customer efforts.
