59. Everywhere, a little later in Latin America
Huge market potential, take care of rights metadata
High hopes, take profit from the delay!
Effects of MAM are as positive in LATAM as everywhere else.
Most positive: file traffic control, metadata management,
improved searching and storage
Challenging: file formats, new workflows, metadata & system
performance
Unsolved or unsatisfactory: automatic cataloging & metadata
migration
MAMs are much more than a digital silo!

Editor's Notes
15 years after the birth, when this man was still the US president.
And 10 years after the breakthrough, when this little company was founded.
It is time to look back from where we’ve come
And where we are heading for
So that’s why we decided to bomb you a few months ago
With yet another survey
And we want to thank everyone who’s filled it out!
But before we present you some very revealing results today...
A little disclaimer...
By Benjamin Disraeli
I will today be presenting you: LIES, DAMN LIES... and STATISTICS
So we left those out
That left us with 47 valid responses.
So we left those out

So we left those out
That left us with 47 valid responses.
So, we had exactly 50 responses...
But also 3 very arduous organisations ...
who submitted two answers...
Now the first 7 questions were general questions,
Trying to establish which stage we’re in,
When it comes to MAM systems.

Breakthrough around 2004 à 2007.
Second wave coming from 2013.
Now the first 7 questions were general questions,
Trying to establish which stage we’re in,
When it comes to MAM systems.
Now these data allow us to calculate how long a first MAM was actually in use.
Of systems implemented before 2007, the average time of use was 8,4 years.
Of all systems that came in use after 2007 it was only 5,3 years.
Can we conclude that the evolution of MAMs is speeding up?
This is what we keep in our MAMs:
TV and moving image of course, but also audio (radio, music, ...) and pictures.
Other objects such as QC reports, subtitles, documents (associated with the media content), ...
are clearly less popular for the moment.
Nevertheless we expect this feature to become more popular in the future.
Most popular items managed by a MAM are news, sports, factual programs, entertainment and documentaries.
Somewhat less popular to keep in a MAM is publicity, cartoons and feature films.
Maybe because this is content that is in a broadcaster’s environment often delivered by third parties?
Now of course we keep media essence and metadata in our MAMs,
But more than 60% of respondents some way or another also track of analog content via their MAM.
In more than 2/3 of the cases the MAM is connected to a media production environment.
This is of course the case at broadcaster’s archives.
In 20% of the cases, so also at national audiovisual archives there’s a plan to make the connection.
This might as well be the next big challenge for many archives.
Considering the huge importance of rights and rights information,
One out of four archives has a plan to include this information
either in their current or their future MAM.
