Description

The entertainment metadata and content discovery platforms market sits at the center of a structural problem the industry has never fully solved: content abundance has outpaced the infrastructure needed to make that content findable. As catalogs fragment across subscription or advertisement-based video on demand, free ad-supported streaming TV, linear, and live sports environments, and as the number of distribution endpoints multiplies across smart TVs, operator set-tops, mobile, and connected devices, the metadata layer has become the determining factor in whether a platform converts its content investment into engagement, retention, and monetization. A title that cannot be surfaced, correctly categorized, or contextually recommended is, in commercial terms, functionally invisible. This is the problem the vendors in this Frost Radar™ analysis are trying to solve, and it is why metadata has migrated from a back-office cataloging function to a front-line strategic asset that sits directly beside content acquisition and platform user experience in importance. The growth environment favors vendors that can operate across multiple demand vectors simultaneously.

Frost & Sullivan analyzes numerous companies in an industry. Those selected for further analysis based on their leadership or other distinctions are benchmarked across 10 Growth and Innovation criteria to reveal their position on the Frost Radar™. The publication presents competitive profiles of each company on the Frost Radar™ considering their strengths and the opportunities that best fit those strengths.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
