SDVI, the leading platform provider for cloud-native media supply chains, today announced that the company earned multiple awards at the 2025 NAB Show, with two wins for NAB Show Project of the Year and another for NAB Show Product of the Year. The awards were announced April 8 at the 2025 NAB Show in Las Vegas, with an SDVI win (along with TMT Insights) for A+E Global Media’s cloud transformation and (with TMT Insights and Signiant) for National Geographic’s content acquisition transformation. The SDVI Rally Connect content and metadata exchange service earned an NAB Show Product of the Year award in the media supply chain, automation, and management category.
“We’re proud to be recognized not only for our innovative approach to media supply chain management, but also for the tangible impact we help our customers achieve,” said Geoff Stedman, CMO at SDVI. “These Project of the Year Awards reflect the real-world outcomes —faster delivery, greater efficiency, and smarter operations — that result from modernizing the media supply chain. We’re happy to share these honors with our partners and with forward-thinking customers such as A+E and National Geographic, who lead the way in transforming media preparation and delivery.”
This first-of-its-kind Project of the Year Award program recognizes excellence across the broadcasting and entertainment industry, honoring cutting-edge applications, installations, workflows, and use cases that push boundaries and redefine possibilities. Winners were selected by a panel of industry peers.
A+E Global Media undertook a groundbreaking cloud transformation to modernize its media supply chain and radically increase the organization’s agility, scalability, and efficiency in content creation and delivery. Leveraging SDVI Rally, TMT Insights’ Polaris, Arch Platform Technologies, and AWS, the initiative unified formerly disparate workflows into an integrated, cloud-based infrastructure. This transformation enables A+E to deliver content across broadcast, VOD, FAST, and direct-to-consumer platforms efficiently, and to maintain high quality standards while reducing infrastructure complexity.
National Geographic, TMT Insights, SDVI, and Signiant collaborated to revolutionize content acquisition workflows, implementing an innovative solution to address upstream challenges within National Geographic’s complex media supply chain. Empowering internal teams to manage media more effectively, the collaboration set a new standard for how large-scale media operations can leverage technology to streamline complex acquisition processes.
The 2025 NAB Show Product of the Year Awards recognize some of the most significant and promising new products and technologies showcased by exhibitors at the NAB Show. The award-winning Rally Connect service from SDVI leverages technology innovations to simplify the exchange of content and metadata between stakeholders while meeting the highly variable specifications for delivering content to endpoints, particularly for international destinations.
