From Spotify and Netflix to YouTube and Steam, the way consumers ingest media and entertainment is constantly evolving. Massive amounts of content are being created and shared every day.
To remain competitive in an age of digital immediacy and user-defined content, traditional media organizations must efficiently manage and scale digital distribution without loss of revenue or incurring large OpEx costs.
That’s where AI and database automation come in.
By simplifying their content supply chains, postproduction processes, and database operations, and traditional industry players can accelerate content delivery. They can also develop new means to scale profitability, and respond to new agile competitors.
In addition, advanced analytical capabilities introduce greater predictability to areas such as advertising, security, and customer demand. In fact, 85% of industry executives believe that digital innovation will help aid cost transparency in technology and marketing functions.
In a consumer-focused industry, Oracle Autonomous Database is helping companies improve operations and increase agility to meet fluctuating customer demands. This enables businesses to produce more creative, effective services for users. In addition, automation and analytical capabilities enable businesses to reduce costs while making informed decisions that help curate relevant content to drive retention.
OUTFRONT turned to Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and Oracle Analytics to speed the process and expand the insights. Today, in minutes, the company can load and merge terabytes of data and securely publish interactive dashboards for its salesforce. The salesforce can now share a comprehensive view of customers’ ad spending—across outdoor, online, TV, radio, and print channels—to show them how their investment would perform better by shifting spend to outdoor.
The cloud-based Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse requires OUTFRONT to pay only for the capacity it uses, so it costs less than on-premise and other subscription database cloud solutions while delivering more robust performance.
Because Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is self-tuning, self-patching, and self-securing, IT staffers no longer need to spend 25% of their time on administrative tasks, freeing them to work on higher-value data modeling.
