Media

Charteris specialises in helping leading media companies minimise the risks and take full advantage of the opportunities presented by technological innovation and the revolution in communications.

The media industry has seen significant change in recent times with increasingly demanding and sophisticated consumer and business audiences influencing content creation, pricing and distribution. Achieving a high level of customer centricity is therefore key. This, coupled with increased competition for the customer's attention, means that media organisations must be sure they can extract maximum business benefit from new technology and new ways of working.

The drive towards new technologies is seemingly inexorable as media companies seek faster delivery in a fast-moving environment. Operational improvement is a constant requirement, not least in post-merger/acquisition integration programmes where intelligent integration is a critical concern. Prioritisation of investment is essential to ensure that the greatest benefit is delivered within an acceptable timescale.

Through our work with clients in the media sector we have identified the following themes:

  • The need to take on and manage new technologies, within a dynamic IT Service Transformation framework, to facilitate business change.
  • The need to manage a complex portfolio of business and IT change within an agile enterprise framework.
  • Supply constraints, which result in the need for intelligent prioritisation, increased productivity and greater resourcing flexibility so that a focus on customer centricity is maintained at all times.

This approach has resulted in a set of core solutions, shown right, each of which tailors the immensely strong core capabilities of Charteris to the precise needs of media companies looking to gain maximum business advantage through technology.
