HP and SAVVIS announce digital content distribution agreement

HP and SAVVIS Communications have announced a significant agreement that provides the first comprehensive media services platform to companies that create and distribute digital content.
The two companies are combining their technologies, integration expertise,and managed services to create the platform, which addresses the entire workflow process, including digital content creation, management, archiving, distribution, video transport and transcoding (re-purposing video for multiple formats and audiences).
An extended 'community' of cooperating companies can share this single platform to collaborate more effectively, accelerate the workflow, and ultimately, speed time to market. HP and SAVVIS are targeting media companies such as broadcasters, film studios, music companies, news organizations, print publishers, advertising agencies and corporate brand and creative services companies.
The HP and SAVVIS Managed Media Services platform allows media companies to outsource this work - so they can focus on their core competencies. Moreover, HP and SAVVIS manage these services as an on-demand utility, so customers can purchase the services each month based on what they actually need and use.
