Sky was awarded an IBC 2025 Innovation Award in Content Distribution for its MediaMesh platform, which integrates systems and workflows of broadcasters across Europe to deliver API-driven, cloud-native, modular distribution. IBC recognized Sky’s reimagination of the way content can be delivered at scale. SDVI was proud to collaborate on this project with AWS, Telestream, and TMT Insights.
Rally Connect was recognized with an IBC Best of Show Award from TV Technology. At a time when media companies need more agile and scalable content delivery systems, this award demonstrates that cloud-based supply chains are uniquely capable of meeting that need. Thanks to our customers and partners for their collaboration and to our team for their hard work bringing this product to market.
And, as always, it was great to see so many of you at the show for some productive discussions about how to address your media supply chain challenge
The media industry today is facing more chaos and uncertainty than at any point in recent memory. Shifting consumer behaviors, fluctuating advertising markets, ongoing consolidation, and the relentless pace of new technology introductions are challenging even the most resilient companies. And layered on top of all this, we’re seeing a surge of industry transactions: mergers that reshape competitive landscapes, acquisitions that bring new opportunities but also integration headaches, and corporate splits that leave organizations needing to retool how they operate from the ground up. Each of these moves creates ripples of disruption across supply chains, business models, and organizational structures.
In this kind of environment, rigidity is the enemy. Media companies that try to hold onto inflexible systems and static workflows will find themselves unable to keep up. The real imperative is to be flexible, adaptable, and responsive—to anticipate change where possible and to pivot quickly when the unexpected arrives.
At the center of this imperative is the media supply chain: the collection of processes and tools that take content from its point of origin and prepare it for distribution across an ever-expanding array of platforms. In times of relative stability, traditional workflows and legacy systems might have been “good enough.” But in today’s market, good enough simply isn’t enough.
The chaos in today’s market isn’t going away. In the blog, we look at how a well-architected, automated, cloud-based media supply chain can move media companies from simply coping with change to actually leveraging it as a competitive advantage.
We’ve talked about how Rally Connect addresses today’s content delivery challenges, leveraging cloud agility and efficiency to manage complex delivery requirements and enable automated package creation for each endpoint.
So, what does it look like for operators to work in a Connect environment?
Most operators will interact with Connect using Rally Gateway pages. Those familiar with Gateways already know that they are a fantastic tool for building portals tailor-made to operators’ precise needs. Gateway pages are composed of widgets, which are views or action panels that can be customized to achieve specific tasks.
In the blog, we take a closer look at how you can create custom operating environments for Rally Connect users.
Rally Gateway administrators can now group Gateway pages, first creating groups and then adding Gateway pages to them. Groups are shown at the top of the list and can be reordered. Pages that are not part of a group are shown below the groups.
This update simplifies management and browsing when Rally users need to address a high variety of use cases within a single Gateway. This Gateway page grouping enhancement guides Gateway users to the right areas, helping them easily navigate large volumes of info.
These are just a few of the recent updates made to the Rally platform. Read more in our latest Rally Updates blog.
