Operating more than 11,000 media services worldwide, Globecast has faced the same challenge confronting many broadcasters: how to modernize while maintaining reliability at scale. Over the past several years, the company has executed a global transformation across facilities in Paris, London, Los Angeles, Johannesburg, and Singapore—migrating workflows from legacy teleports and centralized NOCs to hybrid IP and cloud-based architectures.

This session will explore the engineering and organizational lessons from that transformation. Rather than pursuing a single monolithic platform, Globecast adopted a modular approach, optimizing individual workflows for continuous and event-based services, playout, and media management. The session will examine how this approach improved observability, reduced downtime, and accelerated time-to-launch for new services.

Attendees will also gain insight into workforce and system design considerations, including how to balance global coordination with local autonomy, manage change across multiple time zones, and sustain reliability during phased migrations.

Ultimately, the session will illustrate how to build agility into a global broadcast operation, and turn complexity into a competitive advantage through architecture, process design, and culture.
