Media and Entertainment the way we do it

Media companies are facing ongoing declines to their traditional revenue streams, while struggling to replace these loses with new digital revenues. There is no silver bullet to stop this disruption caused by the impact of digital and the rapidly changing demands of consumers who themselves have more control than ever before. Rather, media companies must face an inevitable transformation of their business models and fundamental operations. The questions any business asks — What do we do? How do we do it? What value do we bring to our customers? How do our goods and services stand out among our competitors? — need to be answered again, in new ways.

As consumers desire any content, anyplace, on any device, the traditional barriers between the “box” (TV, computer, phone), the pipes (broadcasts, stores, physical delivery), and the product (video, music, movies, games) are breaking down.

Preface

In this “everything’s connected” world, new capabilities are called for. In some companies, operational activities will become strategic. Others will leverage “old” capabilities into new value propositions.

Capgemini is helping define, shape and implement new business models for media companies. Our extensive experience with pioneering media and entertainment companies, along with a disciplined methodology, position Capgemini as a leader in Digital Content Services. This point-of-view presents our forward-thinking perspective on the challenges — and opportunities — in today’s media and entertainment industry.

Introduction

In the media and entertainment industry, content is moving from physical to digitaland companies stand poised on the line between the two worlds, trying to run their “business as usual”operations (even while profits continue to fall precipitously)and, at the same time, attempting to cater to consumers demand for flexible digital offerings while still making the kind of returns required to offset losses through traditional revenue streams. For most, the digital world is all new — new products and processes, new customer expectations and distribution channels, new revenue streams and cost structures.

In our work, we’re challenging industry leaders to rethink the assumptions that made them a success in the first place: “What is our role in the new media and entertainment landscape? How does that differ from our current role? What are the implications for our people, processes and technology? Last, but of course not least, how will we make money in the digital world?”

Just as the move to digital product is transforming the industry overall, each company needs to transform major business components — its supply chains, intellectual property management, customer relationships, revenue strategies & cost structures, and business intelligence — in a coordinated and corollary manner.

Digital Content Services: A Framework for TransformationA business transformation is just what its name says: a radical thinking of fundamental premises.

A media company that wants to compete in the digital world should begin with a “start from scratch, nothing is sacred” exploration: “How can we align investments and offerings with quickly shifting consumer interests? How can we protect what’s ours? How can we create brand intimacy and loyalty when the “buying” audience is fragmented across multiple platforms?How should we be thinking about advertising and pricing? How will we aggregate and integrate the data needed for intelligent insights?

Capgemini has identified five areas that need to be addressed by companies as they make their businesses digital and more competitive. Customer Experience Management, Digital Insights, Intellectual Property Management, Digital Monetization, and Digital Media

Management. Within each, the changes that need to be made can be substantial and dramatic, and the challenges each company faces will depend on its maturity in each area.As always, the goal is to address the distinct business profile while driving a differentiation that is specific to the competitive environment. At the same time, the five areas are inter-related and mutually dependent. Just as the digital world breaks down the barriers of time, access, and mobility (as content is available when and where the consumer wants it, across multiple devices or channels), the media company needs to take a complete view of the end-to-end business ecosystem, a view in whichthe whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Figure 1: The five components work together like a revenue amplifier. If one channel fails, they all fail.

I. Digital Media Management

The purpose of the supply chain in the digital world is still the same: execute the business strategy efficiently and effectively, from pre-production through distribution. The rub is the strategy behind the business: What role will the company play in the new industry? What value will it deliver? As the answers change — potentially substantially — so would a company’s business model. With a new model, the supply chain would also change, taking on new roles and responsibilities, requiring new capabilities and technologies, and forging new relationships inside and outsidethe enterprise.

For example, consider a gaming systems manufacturer that certifies videogames for designers. Why not charge for that service or for the content creator that prepares music files for digital download? Might that activity be more cost-effectively performed by a digital retailer? The shift to digital calls into question the business cases behind traditional supply chain economics. Some activities will become more valuable; others might become nearly worthless. Some companies will outsource more or different processes; others might bring some processes back in-house.

Of course, particularly challenging today is straddling both worlds: for now (and for the immediate future), companies need to continue to make and distribute physical product, while honing and growing their digital capabilities. This duality is not an either/or bifurcation (although digital will eventually dominate); rather, the two supply chains require coordinated, complementary management. As margins in the old world disappear, content creators and

What does it mean to be efficient in a digital marketplace? How does digital content management impact or work with the physical supply chain?

distributors will industrialize their competencies in the digital world with end-to-end-automation.

New Competencies, New Options, New ChoicesIn the digital world, a media company still needs to make a product, certify its quality, merchandise the product, and deliver it to consumers — but now these consumers potentially number in the hundreds of thousands and access to them is through multiple, different channels or devices. The shift to digital raises questions for every part of the supply chain: Relationships — What would

constitute an “optimal” partner strategy?;

Operations — What does it mean to be efficient when content is digital?

Organizational — What new tasks will employees have to execute?

Certainly, new core capabilities need to be in place, including (but not limited to) creating content, storing assets in digital repositories, and leveraging channel-specific translation and distribution capabilities. Value-added services — such as authoring content, certifying quality, and preparing assets for distribution — should be considered for their strategic fit.

Also, new or modified processes and systems are needed to support capacity planning and management, sourcing and procurement, marketing and merchandizing, promotions and pricing, accounts payable and accounts receivable. Process integration will be important for collaboration among internal and external contributors, as a digital supply chain creates new challenges in managing content,

especially metadata, across multiple organizations. For example, video files distributed to Apple for sale on iTunes require specific packaging specification that must conform to Apple’s standards.If a company can’t deliver precisely on those requirements, it won’t be able to do business with Apple.

As companies shift their strategic scope — some electing to take on new roles, others shedding non-profitable processes — outsourcing will potentially play an even greater role. For example, a company focused on content creation might choose to outsource production and distribution. Production companies could expand their capabilities from pressing product to making digital files, while another third party might assume the tasks of packaging the final product and fulfilling orders. Ultimately, companies need to reassess where the future value or area of differentiation is in the digital supply chain which will drive their insource vs. outsource vs. co-source decisions.

Roles and Responsibilities in the Digital World Pre-production:While the challenges in digital pre-production vary by industry segment, a few generalizations can be drawn with confidence. Every supply chain will struggle with historic constraints (such as expensive equipment, specialized devices, costly specialists, and dedicated workstations). Every company will be forced to define new methods for keeping track of content inventory (including “extras” such as liner notes, critical reviews, and talent interviews). And, non-digital assets will have to be organized and digitized (with original masters being maintained, at the same time).

Production: The complexity of production - multiple content owners, multiple technology

vendors, multiple formats and product versions — is exacerbated in the digital world with its promise of “manufacturing on demand” or consumer-driven demandfulfillment. In the near future, supply chains will need to manage traditional product replication and distribution through retailers, electronic sell-through for downloading, and one-off copying. In this last option, a consumer looking for an out-of-print movie or a rare recording could order one from a retailer online; the manufacturer would print one copy and mail it to the buyer’s home.

Distribution:How does a company transition from moving CDs and DVDs from retail outlets to preparing files for downloading on iTunes or Amazon.com? What are the inventory management and warehousing issues in the digital ecosystem? Will

consumers be able to download content while shopping in a retail store?

Among the challenges of distribution is digital rights management (see the next section, Intellectual Property, page 4), which has two aspects: protecting the company’s property and not alienating the buyer. Apple has found one way to resolve this issue by charging more if consumers want to copy a song freely across multiple devices. In this way, the company has decided to give upcontrol (which is difficult to maintain anyway) but on its own terms. In solving the problem of protecting one’s content from illegal copying and use, the music segment is most mature, with the moviesegment close behind; video game companies are struggling, while the publishing segment is still in its infancy.

digital distribution rights for a TV show but not the accompanying sound tracks for the show).

With rights information readily available in its enterprise management systems, a company can more readily sell an asset. Then, for royalty calculation and processing, the company needs to integrate the IP application with the general ledger and financial systems. Capturing metadata as early as possible in the content lifecycle is critically important, and to do that successfully requires the right skills, roles, and responsibilities (to say nothing of technology). Once a company can store its rights in an intellectual property management system, metadata can be passed to the digital asset management system which encodes it on a product. The end user would be allowed to copy an asset or subscribe to a service according to the contract terms.

Of course, most legacy IP systems — designed for a different business model and time when media and entertainment companies could exert considerable control over the way content was formatted, distributed, and delivered — cannot handle the new complexity of digital IP management.

New Dimensions of Risk ManagementIn a digital world, collaboration extends beyond the “four walls” of the enterprise, and IP management becomes even more challenging. Options and alternatives depend on the complexity of the company’s business model, growth plans, and contracts. Will a company “build or buy” assets? The answer will impact how a company defines priorities, maps specific opportunities, and projects

The “connectedness” of content and delivery in the digital world makes the protection of intellectual property (IP) daunting. For example, a video game, made by one company and packaged by another, might include music, images of a consumer product, and voice-over narration by an actor reading a famous author’s words. How does a company keep track of these assets, maintain permission to use them, and calculate royalties and payments due? Potential violations of IP rights and obligations can occur at every level — content, promotion, marketing, and advertising.

Managing ComplexityIP management covers ownership, sales availability, contract management, royalty processing, and financial integration. Who owns the intellectual property? In what media and in which markets can it be sold or distributed? Are ownership rights in perpetuity or for a limited time only? In the digital world, the potential for IP violations explodes; the challenge for a media company is keeping track of all its contractual obligations.

For example, if a studio buys the rights to a movie, these might expire after 10 years, after which the rights would revert to the original owner. Or a music company or record label might have the rights to sell a song for five years. When that contractual time expires, the company needs to tell an online distributor (such as iTunes) to take the song down. Multiply that process by hundreds of thousands of songs and the challenges become apparent. Anotherstriking example is the difficulty and time consuming job of securing rights for different components that make up an asset (e.g. you may be able to secure

expected returns. Sharing the wealth can play out differently, and making mistakes can be costly.

To protect its digital property, a company needs to stay on top of IP sourcing, definition, set-up, tracking, and reporting.Risk management and compliance go hand-in-hand. Of course, the integration of digital processes, transactions, and enterprise-wide financial systems (such as invoicing, accounts payable, and accounts receivable) is good business practice. But we need to look beyond just protecting the digital property and improve the ability to drive new revenue by having proper visibility into what assets can be sold, to whom, in what geographies and what formats.

As always, the first step in winning the hearts and minds of consumers is “understand your customer.” But who is a “customer”? In the old world, answering this question meant using demographics — age, gender, zip code, income, and education — to shape an aggregated idea of what people want and what they’d likely buy. In the new world (the digital world), demographics don’t cut it. Rather, a media and entertainment company needs to understand its customers as individuals who work and play within self-defined communities which reflect each person’s interests.

Hence, a 45-year-old, affluent suburban father of three could also be a fan of heavy metal music or first-person shooter video games. A media company can no longer afford to think of its customers as fitting in well-prescribed demographic categories; reality is much more interesting.

As a company builds a picture of a customer based not on statistics, but on behavior — the music he buys, the cable channels he watches, the video-on-demand movies he orders, the

III. Customer Experience Management

How do we provide targeted data and services, across multiple devices, using real-time, collaborative methods? What processes, infrastructure, and metrics are needed?

DVDs he buys, the video games he’s bought and how much he plays each one — it can put this consumer in a segment that he has, in effect, created for himself, a segment he might share with people who would never be grouped together with conventional techniques.

Customer-Driven Value DeliveryOnce a company knows its customers, it can respond to their needs and wants in real-time, across multiple channels. Whatthis means is that building loyalty comes not so much from a product or service per se, but rather from connecting to people at a specific moment of value and enabling like-minded people to connect to each other.

A media and entertainment company can create a truly differentiating customer experience by presenting content in a form that the consumer chooses. For example, a movie studio can say, in effect, “Tell me how you want a movie delivered — through which channel, in what format — and we’ll make that happen.” The customer might elect to play a game or watch a movie over multiple formats: Xbox, Game Boy DS, a computer, a PlayStation3, or an iPhone.

A personal, relevant customer experience is an emotional connection that, ultimately, prevents the customer from switching (which is, of course, easier-than-ever to do). The companies that have succeeded in creating such an experience — a branded experience— have integrated strategy, infrastructure, data management, and metrics; they get the how, what, when, and why of their customers’ behavior and use that understanding to make the customer delight in the relationship.

The revenue coming from digital channels (such as mobile or web) isn’t equivalent to that from traditional streams (such as retail or broadcast). Yet, ignoring the digital channel is not an option: the balance of control is shifting more and more to the consumer and if their needs are not met they will find a source that satisfies their needs (and often not through legal channels). Jeff Zucker, long-running President and CEO at NBC Universal, has summed up the situation best, bemoaning the issue of trading “analog dollars for digital dimes.”

Making Precise ConnectionsTaking heed of the lessons learned from the music industry, other media sectors are providing consumers with easier access to a greater volume of digital content. Yet, the issue of effective monetization keeps media CEO’s awake at night. In the TV industry, when a program is broadcast, it includes 15 minutes of advertising; when it’s replayed on the Internet, the ad time totals two minutes. Even when CPM’s command a premium, this doesn’t come close to making up the difference.

One thing is clear: no dominant monetization model has proven out, whether advertising, pay-per-download, subscription, or part free/part pay. One key variable in making money in the digital world is a company’s ability to test, measure, evaluate, and adjust its approach (not just the business model, but also the underlying operations). Success in monetization requires strong capabilities in defining and executing a digital supply chain, in protecting and managing intellectual property, in creating a branded customer experience, and nurturing and applying digital insights.

IV. Digital Monetization

Can a media company make money when content is available and cheap?

For example, monetization requires a sophisticated understanding of consumer segments (see the section, Customer Experience, page 5) and behaviors. But as the potential interaction points between a consumer and a company increase (TV, PC/Web, and mobile), the ability to capture and act rapidly and effectively on data will control the company’s ability to send the right content and advertising to the right consumer at the right time. This necessitates highly complex coordination.

Media companies will continue to struggle with this monetization issue as consumer control increases and customer demands force traditional models to be re-examined. The ability of media companies to manage content across time, geography, and device/channel is, without a doubt, more important than ever - so important, in fact, that the rule book is being re-written, as evidenced by such trends as day-in-date releases (e.g., physical booksand e-books, or movie theater release and VOD) or as consumers rather than advertisers paying for content.

In short, media companies are going to need new, underlying capabilities that make them flexible and nimble, able to evolve their monetization models with shifts in consumer demands.

Once a company can see the shows people watch on TV, the movies they download, the music they buy, the videos they play, and the social networking sites they visit, what can it do with that data? Most companies have an ever increasing amount of data available to them, but remain flummoxed on how to turn the data into actionable intelligence.

Clearly, it’s important to have the technology to gather and consolidate data,the tools and skills to analyze it, the strategy and business processes to act on it, and the metrics to measure the results.

Digital Media ManagementBusiness intelligence gives a media company new options to manage the supply chain. For example, if a movie studio pays hundreds of millions each year on post-production, what’s the return on that investment? Which customers are most profitable and, therefore, worth a greater effort? What’s the optimal timing by channel for releasing a new DVD or CD?

Digital asset management is complex.A movie studio has millions of digital assets in its inventory; each of today’s asset management systems addresses

only a small piece of the total. The right business intelligence solution can act as an“overlay” to allow all these applications to communicate with each other and to “look and feel” like a single, unified system. This enables employees to use and track assets productively.

Intellectual PropertyThe interplay of the digital supply chain and intellectual property is closely linkedto monetization. Different levels of digitalrights management have revenue and cost implications: “If we use level A rights management for this audio track or CD, then Amazon can sell a million copies, but our margins will be small. If we choose level B, we’ll sell fewer copies on our own website, but each copy will be more profitable.” Analyzing the options requires business intelligence (BI).

IP management is all about risk and ROI. Digital BI enables the complex calculations required for multiple “what if” analyses. The goal is a balance between protecting the company’s intellectual property rights and making money. Too much protection inhibits sales; too little destroys revenue. BI provides the insights for optimizing revenue streams.

Customer Experience How can a company best identify potential customers via a search of social networks, deliver digital assets, and then track satisfaction? How can “streaming” content generate revenue? The data management challenges are significant.

In the digital world, a media company needs to create and maintain customer profile information (accounts, segments, products, usage, revenue, and contact and offer history) in a marketplace that’s

dynamic and fluid. Traditional tools, such as dashboards and scorecards, need to be adapted for the digital customer relationship. Everything from campaign reporting to propensity analytics and modeling needs to be in real time.

MonetizationIf a company knows its customers and inventory, if it can provide insights about click-through rates, response rates, and the performance of a campaign, then it can find advertisers willing topay a premium to reach a specific consumer segment.

Even with digital business intelligence, monetization is a science and an art.Because the industry is moving at a rapid rate, a company needs to understand trends, population groups and consumer behavior, while continuously experimenting to develop relevant consumer segments. The need for creativity is yet another argument for building an enterprise platform in which all the areas of the digital ecosystem are able to interact with one another. In fact, that’s the secret to agility, and agility is the signature of the new media and entertainment company.

Business Information ManagementMaximizing the benefit of business intelligence ensures quicker decision making and selection of strategic investment opportunities to gain a competitive edge. Capgemini helps organizations capitalize on this information with a consolidated approach across enterprise platforms and tools. We combine information strategy consulting and technical services to build efficient and securedinformation-based solutions with the goal of creating an “Intelligent Enterprise.”

The digital world is not for the faint-hearted, since it calls for new strategies, business processes, roles and responsibilities, information systems, and performance metrics. Companies once fat and slow need to become lean and swift — a daunting challenge. But early movers stand to gain significant revenues, market share, andbusiness growth.

The good news is that the future can stand on the shoulders of the present. With the right process and system designs, the transformation to an enterprise that can thrive in the digital world can be modular, phased, and relatively risk-free. For example, if a company has the right CRM system in place, it does not need to be replaced; new applications to support other areas of the business can be connected to the legacy system (assuming it’s appropriate) through service-oriented architecture. A “from the ground up” approach to the infrastructure design allows a company to plug in (and unplug) tools as needed, as the digital ecosystem evolves in depth, reach, and sophistication.

We’re Helping Media Companies Work (and Make Money) in the Digital World. Capgemini is an industry leader in service areas that directly impact Digital Content Services. Our first step is to sit down with your business to review your Digital Strategy.
