Base Founder and CEO Ben Foakes works with cloud services and software hosting for the media and entertainment industry.
At IBC2025, Base will be outlining a three-step approach it uses with clients, which includes: migrating content and systems to the cloud, building a centralised content hub and then transforming workflows through integration with third-party systems. Foakes describes a growing demand for cloud-first architecture, driven by distributed teams working across multiple time zones and the broader shift among vendors towards software as a service (SaaS) models.
He also believes that artificial intelligence (AI) has been a significant development, particularly in content indexing and searchability. Looking ahead, Foakes expects the volume of media content to continue growing across a wider range of platforms beyond traditional television. Foakes suggests this will create increasing challenges around data management and infrastructure as content ecosystems grow larger and more complex.
