Enterprise Data Migration & Media Asset Management

Challenge

The Deloitte Content Agency managed 500TB+ of media assets on local servers and drives. After shifting to remote work due to COVID-19, manual processes and physical shipping of hard drives caused significant delays in accessing and distributing media.

Solution

Migrated all media assets to AWS Cloud and implemented a centralized Media Asset Management (MAM) system, enabling instant, global access.

Key Actions

  • Migrated 500TB+ of data using AWS Snowball and validated no loss of data for over 300 clients.

  • Set up Frame.io as a centralized MAM integrated with AWS giving teammates visibility into every file.

  • Implemented Camera-to-Cloud workflows for automatic media uploads.

  • Optimized post-production processes for distributed teams globally.

Results

  • Reduced editing start times by 50%.

  • Eliminated physical shipping delays, achieving same-day editing.

  • Accelerated overall project delivery timelines by approximately 40%.

Impact

  • Improved global team collaboration and workflow efficiency.

  • Reduced infrastructure costs by 60%, saving $250K annually.

  • Established a scalable foundation for future technology enhancements, including AI integration.

Tools and Technologies

  • AWS (S3, CloudFront, Snowball)

  • Frame.io (MAM, Camera-to-Cloud)

  • IBM Aspera (High-speed transfers)
