The ABC Sports Initiative: Harnessing IP Technology for Scalability
ABC Sports recently completed a multi-million dollar investment in IP technology, specifically deploying Avid's iNEWS | SaaS platform.

NBC Sports has also made significant strides by integrating Lawo's VSM (Visionary Software Management) system into its production pipeline. This flexible IP solution supports a wide range of workflows, from pre-production to live broadcasts. "Lawo's VSM system has given us the ability to adapt to changing demands with ease," notes John Smith, Chief Technology Officer at NBC Sports. "We can now allocate resources more efficiently and ensure that our content is delivered on time and with high quality."
