A shift in industrial ecosystem calls for “smart operation support”

According to current radio & TV industrial chain, industrial chain entities of content, platform, network and terminals have evolved into complicated co-opetition relationship from previous linear cooperation. They are using their own strengths to seek a shift to media integration, smart broadcasting control, smart operation and smart terminals, etc.

Entities of industrial chain are clearly aware that media communication environment has taken on a new feature of “de-centralized, self-organizing”. “Capturing customers” is fundamental for successful transformation, and it has gradually become acknowledged that customer operation is a new driver for an enterprise’s sustainable growth.

Cable digital TV operators and IPTV platform operators take a leading position in the competition of “connecting customers”, as they possess vast digital TV and IPTV customer base. It is a new focus of business development regarding how to strengthen the connection between enterprises and customers and improve service capability. With rapid advancement in big data, IoT, AI, cloud computing and broadband technology, radio & TV industry is presenting a development trend of ecosystem-centered business and platform-based operation.

1. Ecosystem-centered business leads to business model changes

The development of ecosystem-centered business has brought about much thinking over how to shift business models: a shift from connecting location to connecting people; a shift from traditional business of digital TV to diversified business integration; a shift from self-owned channels to socialized contacts; a shift from partner platform management to “platform enablement”. All these questions should be seriously treated.

2. Ecosystem-centered business contributes to tremendous changes in elements of commerce

The development of ecosystem-centered business comes with huge changes in elements of commerce in the operation system of radio & TV operators. It demonstrates new features of customer generalization, product diversification, channel socialization and strengthened cooperation ecosystem, which presents a new challenge for operation capability of operators.

Currently, radio & TV operators is facing problems of non-unified customer management system, poor product integration, limited service channel, lack of collaboration, ‘closed-source’ partnership system, simple marketing model, etc.

Therefore, a shift of “customer-centric” business model as well as operation system capabilities in customer integration, product integration, channel integration and partner integration is crucial for radio & TV operators to turn themselves into “integrated information service operators”.
