Challenges we hear

What public media teams tell us

Distributed production teams

Editors, presenters and freelancers all need the same files from different places.

Access sprawl

Contributors come and go; permissions to sensitive material rarely get cleaned up.

Growing archives

Finished content piles up and there's no cheap, durable place to keep it.

How we map Microsoft to them
