Keys to Media Success in the Digital Era.
As media companies move into the digital age, having an efficient, high-performing, and reliable IT infrastructure is essential for delivering products and services to market. But this IT infrastructure, although critical to business success, is not by itself a source of competitive advantage. By engaging with Savvis for some or all of our managed services, you can focus your creative, technical, and operational resources on more strategic initiatives while reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) of your overall IT infrastructure.
Publishing.
The traditional publishing world has been turned on its head. Getting products to market faster, printing on demand, and supporting a mix of traditional print and online publishing capabilities are just some of the changes that publishers have been struggling with.
With Savvis Infrastructure-as-a-Service, publishing firms can:
- Stay competitive in a rapidly evolving marketplace. With new business models emerging and competition from non-traditional players escalating, the complexities of keeping a publishing concern operational are growing. Focus on these strategic issues without having to think twice about your infrastructure.
- Keep up with the latest technologies. Because we’ve invested in building a world-class global network and keeping our data centers on the technological edge, you don’t have to expend a penny of capital to get access to the very best resources.
- Ease your IT staffing challenges. It’s tough to find and retain good IT personnel. We hire the very best IT talent so you don’t have to.
Brand & Advertising.
Ramping up for a new advertising campaign. Meeting an extraordinarily tight deadline for a major brand relaunch. Successful brand management and advertising activities are based on truly collaborative relationships that allow creative, technical, and operational professionals to work together. They also need a robust, scalable, and reliable infrastructure that can support both internal and customer-facing initiatives.

- Support increasingly complex collaborative relationships. Savvis provides the infrastructure, network, and security managed services that allow you to do this securely and effectively.

Music, Movies, and Gaming.
The entertainment industry is in the midst of a major transition. Time to market is accelerating. Security risks – especially those associated with protecting intellectual property (IP) – are growing more complex. And the capital expenditures required to expand infrastructure capabilities are increasingly prohibitive. As music, movie, and gaming firms move to a digital and – increasingly – online distribution model, the need for a robust and flexible infrastructure that scales to meet consumer demand for content as well as supports internal operations is critical.
With Savvis’ Infrastructure as a Service, you can:
- Support the transition to the digital marketplace. The shift to a digital online distribution model is putting strains on your existing IT capabilities. Support your business without having to think twice about your infrastructure.
- Protect against mounting security threats. Risks are multiplying even as they become more sophisticated. Let us worry about them.
- Keep up with the latest technologies. Because we’ve invested in building a world-class global network and keeping our data centers on the technological edge, you don’t have to expend a penny of capital to get access to the very best resources.
