Imagine Advisory Services
Across the industry and around the world, broadcasters and media companies are experiencing a transformational period of both disruption and opportunity as they embark on a technology migration to IP.
With the introduction of Imagine Advisory Services (IAS), we offer professional consultations for broadcast and media customers making the migration-driven business- and technology-level decisions that will determine the future of their facilities and operations.
Leveraging our extensive industry experience and understanding of the unique business of broadcast, our team will engage with your staff to:
- review the viability of current procedures and operations
- conduct in-depth infrastructure Health Checks
- develop comprehensive business continuity plans, including revenue protection and optimization frameworks
- deliver customized technology and change management briefings
- recommend extended care opportunities
Through our IAS suite of offerings, you can count on sound, field-proven advice to help you navigate any technology migration, ensure the integrity of your mission-critical gear, and plan for seamless, disruption-free operations in any dynamic environment.
Our Approach
Each IAS engagement is tailored to the specific needs of broadcast and media customers, with consideration for local laws and regulations as well as industry standards and trends.
Imagine Advisory Services is grouped into three distinct practice areas:
Inform and Educate
We offer a series of customized and interactive Technology Briefings, delivering high-level or deeper dive education and training to help you make business- and technology-level decisions about your migration project. These Briefings can be held at your facility, or in one of the IAS Training Centers in Toronto, Thames Ditton (near London), or Ismaning (near Munich):
- Basic Briefings – tailored to the management team and decision-makers
- Advanced Briefings – in-depth technology sessions for operational and engineering staff
We also offer Change Management Briefings for an integrated approach to seamless organizational transformation — focusing on your employees and helping them adjust and adapt to the latest technologies and processes for a more productive and satisfying work environment.
