What types of software solutions are used in the entertainment industry?

Depending on the type of business, these solutions may include: publishing, licensing and royalty management tools, distribution platforms, artist management, touring and ticketing systems, content management systems, data analytics tools, IPTV/OTT platforms, A/V transcoding and streaming software, AR/VR applications, and many others.

We are seeking a vendor for building a niche video streaming site for a global audience, which will obviously require some fairly advanced skills in the field of CDN configuration. What’s your experience with distributed video content delivery?

Many of our experts have taken part in massive media projects for global media giants and have plenty of experience configuring content delivery networks for various types of content, including audio and video. We fully support all mainstream CDN providers and have the required skill set to ensure smooth and uninterrupted delivery of media content to every corner of the globe.

Our company is in the movie localization business, providing services to major studios in the US. Over the years, we’ve come to realize that we need way more automation to speed up our production pipeline. Do you offer any solutions in this area?

What you just described is generally referred to as a media orchestration system. It would typically ingest a DRM-protected copy of a movie and make it available to your employees who will be working on translations, voiceovers, closed captioning and more. We have plenty of experience in the field and will be glad to share our thoughts with you based on your requirements.

We are well aware that the market is hot and that finding even a couple of senior software engineers is fairly tricky these days. Our conundrum: we are looking to hire between 20 to 30 developers for our new business next year. Is that something that EPAM Startups & SMBs could handle?

30 developers within a short time frame is a challenge for many companies out there. However, our platform can facilitate this task by offering you multiple candidates from a variety of locations and aligning them according to your staffing needs. Please reach out to one of our reps and we’ll guide you through the hiring and onboarding process.

GenAI for your software engineering team is here.
