| |January 20174CIOReviewEditorialEditorialThe Indian Media & entertainment industry was traditionally known to be a high volume but a low value space. However with the advent of mobile devices, and with the growth of broadband connectivity, Indian media market is poised to grow at a CAGR of 14.3 percent, which is still three times more than the average global rate of 5.1 percent. The digital phenomenon is the area that trumps TV film and radios by a large margin. As a matter of fact, India overtook the US in 2014 as the world's second largest market for Television sets. While at the beginning the focus was on the development of content through television and radio, today there is equal attention being given to neo channels of creation and distribution. The rapid fire evolution of access and delivery methods will continue, forcing media companies to be more nimble than ever. Advancement in technology is bringing about a transition to multi-platform content, digital personalized distribution, integrated enterprise processes, advanced storage options (cloud computing), micromarketing and informed advertising using big and smart data analytics. Now that the transition to HD or Digital Television is virtually complete, greater focus will be placed on convergence and content management. Advancements in IPTV will change the way media is delivered and consumed. Changes in play-out and head-end requirements for multi-platform delivery, increased automation, and the continued transition to a "tape-less workflow" will invariably affect the physical environments in which content is created and distributed. Also, a by-product of the digital age across all industries especially M&E is the need to deal with digital data growth, and content management (an almost recession-proof issue), privacy and security.As we move into 2017, we can expect new paradigms to emerge based on interoperability, open systems and common standards.
