As profits from voice and data connectivity shrink, telcos are looking to rich media or digital media services, as a way to increase their average revenue per user (ARPU). They need a way to streamline the process of content acquisition and transmission and they need a solution with open standards to connect different formats from content providers with different solutions and applications for content acquisition, transcoding, and distribution.
To enable this new model for embracing and streamlining the digital media value chain and ignite new revenue opportunities, HP and its strategic partners have introduced the Digital Media Solution (DMS). DMS is a solution development platform architected to reduce the complexity and cost of building a complete Media Life Cycle Management system. |
