Simplifies operations as content providers only need to integrate with Comcast MediaExpress for mass distribution of their premium VOD titles into the leading broadcast, streaming, social, and digital platforms

Provides a single ingest point for videos, metadata and supporting files for title management and distribution for long form and short form video with certified delivery managed by CTS

Enables content providers to implement various monetization strategies including SVOD, AVOD, TVOD, and FAST Channels 

DENVER, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Comcast Technology Solutions (CTS) today announced the launch of Comcast MediaExpress, a new and centralized Video-On-Demand (VOD) management and distribution service for premium content providers. Comcast MediaExpress enables content owners to easily distribute their VOD entertainment titles into the leading OTT, pay TV, and social platforms through delivery centrally managed by CTS. Backed by the scale and reliability of CTS, content owners can now simplify and streamline their VOD distribution and monetization efforts across their subscription VOD (SVOD), Advertising VOD (AVOD), transactional VOD (TVOD), or Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST) partners.

Today’s premium content providers face a complex challenge trying to reach more OTT platforms, each with unique requirements, while simultaneously trying to simplify the way they manage and distribute their assets. Comcast MediaExpress makes that possible by serving as a single platform to ingest video, metadata, and supporting files for centralized management and distribution—backed by the scale and reliability of Comcast Technology Solutions. Content providers only need to integrate with Comcast MediaExpress for mass distribution of their premium VOD titles to reach all the leading OTT and pay TV platforms, including the most popular FAST Channels and streaming video services. 

“Now, more than ever, media and entertainment companies are looking for the most efficient ways to manage and distribute their short form and long form video across a highly fragmented landscape of digital destinations,” said Bart Spriester, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Streaming, Broadcast, & Advertising for Comcast Technology Solutions. “It’s a daunting task even for the most technically sophisticated programmers, broadcasters, and film studios, but it’s what CTS was built for. Comcast MediaExpress provides efficiency, scale, and reliability for their VOD distribution efforts, so even more of their creative energy can stay focused on content creation and monetization.”

“Content owners today face substantial pressure to efficiently reach both legacy TV and streaming platforms while reducing operating costs – and still maintaining the flexibility needed to adapt to the evolving needs of today’s viewing audiences,” said Paul Erickson, Principal Analyst, Media and Entertainment at Omdia. “In today’s competitive and financially-pressured market, there’s a priority to find solutions that reduce operational complexity and drive increased efficiency, without sacrificing reliability or scalability.”

Key Features of Comcast MediaExpress

Comcast MediaExpress is designed to improve efficiency, shorten delivery cycle times, and extend the reach of today’s premium content providers. Key capabilities include:

Simplified Single Ingest: Comcast MediaExpress enables publishers to streamline their integration efforts through one distribution platform that simplifies and automates content workflows for VOD distribution. When coupled with the integrated and automated post-production editing process powered by CTS Video AI™, content creators can focus on content and not workflows.

Managed “White-Glove” Service: Backed by the power, reliability, and scale of Comcast Technology Solutions, Comcast MediaExpress combines comprehensive software tools with a high efficiency service to provide secure, high-quality exchanges of content and metadata, on-time and in spec, across operator platforms and distribution points. It also includes an intuitive UI dashboard for end-to-end visibility and status reporting.

Extensive Reach Across Top-Tier Streaming and Pay TV Platforms: With direct access to leading multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) and the most popular OTT distribution platforms, Comcast MediaExpress provides massive reach for content publishers and conforms their VOD titles to the unique specifications of all distribution partners.

Advanced Metadata Management and VideoAI: Comcast MediaExpress can transform source metadata to site-specific end-point metadata, saving time and reducing complexity. It can also be used in conjunction with CTS’ award-winning VideoAI for metadata augmentation, ad marker detection and insertion, or automated quality control of premium content.

Comprehensive Monetization Strategy Support: The new service supports all major monetization models, providing content creators flexibility in their blended revenue strategies, including SVOD, AVOD, TVOD, and FAST.

Comcast MediaExpress is part of a comprehensive suite of solutions for content and streaming providers and advertisers. Additional details can be found at www.comcasttechnologysolutions.com.

Asset manager margins squeezed as infrastructure bill climbs, PwC finds

Infrastructure moves up the strategic agenda as asset managers confront margin pressure

LUXEMBOURG, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Infrastructure is moving from the back office to the centre of asset managers’ strategy. With profit per AuM down 19% since 2018 and projected to fall another 9.1% by 2030, decisions on what to build, buy or access through partners now shape how firms compete, according to PwC’s Global Asset Management Infrastructure: Rethinking the industry’s piping report. 67% say fee compression is limiting their ability to invest.

Spending is also tied to the past: only 23% of asset managers direct most of their technology budget to new capabilities, while 29% spend more than 70% of it maintaining legacy systems.

Surveying 150 asset managers and 50 infrastructure providers, the report finds AI is sharpening these constraints. Some 24% cite data fragmentation and 17% legacy systems as major barriers to scaling AI.

Roland Kastoun, Global Asset and Wealth Management Advisory Leader, PwC, notes: “The industry’s profits per dollar managed have fallen by almost a fifth, and the bill for the pipes keeps rising. The managers who survive the next five years won’t be the ones with the flashiest AI, but rather the ones who fixed the so-called boring stuff first.”

Market data is seen as poor value for money, with 58% ranking it among the most expensive infrastructure layers relative to the value delivered, ahead of regulatory reporting systems (47%) and core technology platforms (46%).

Meanwhile, some 70% of infrastructure providers expect a larger share of industry revenues, while 68% name hyperscale cloud providers as the main emerging threat.

“Seven in ten infrastructure providers expect to take a bigger slice of the pie, which tells you where the power in this industry is quietly shifting,” said Björn Ebert, Financial Services Leader, PwC Luxembourg.

Some 44% favour hybrid sourcing models combining in-house, bought and partnered capabilities, compared with 21% who prefer to buy, 18% to partner and 13% to build in-house.

The report identifies four emerging infrastructure archetypes, namely infrastructure orchestrators, digital and tokenisation platforms, specialist modular providers and integrated asset managers. No single model fits every firm. Each must decide what to own, what to standardise and where a specialist can do the job better. Those who decide early will be better placed to protect margins through 2030.

Temu Partners with Latvian IT Cluster to Help Local Businesses Grow Online

Published

By

RIGA, Latvia, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Temu has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Latvian IT Cluster (Latvijas IT klasteris) to support Latvia’s digital business ecosystem, providing local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with broader access to digital tools, knowledge, and international e-commerce opportunities.

Under the MoU, Temu will collaborate with the Latvian IT Cluster on its programs and activities, host educational webinars and exchange insights with local industry experts. The collaboration brings together Temu’s experience as an international marketplace operator and Latvian IT Cluster’s work helping businesses across sectors adopt digital tools.

Temu and Latvian IT Cluster hosted “The Path to Growth: Navigating E-commerce for European SMEs” on Oct. 20, drawing participants from local businesses across various industries. The webinar covered Temu’s Local Seller Program, logistics and regulatory requirements, and included a Q&A with Temu representatives.

“We are delighted to welcome Temu as a member of the Latvian IT Cluster. The involvement of internationally recognized companies in our ecosystem creates new opportunities for Latvian businesses to gain valuable knowledge, build connections, and strengthen their competitiveness,” said Aiga Irmeja, Chair of the Board at Latvian IT Cluster. “We are pleased that our partnership has already resulted in joint activities exploring e-commerce opportunities in Europe, and we hope this is just the first step towards further joint initiatives that will support the presence of Latvian businesses in the digital economy and international markets.”

The focus on practical guidance and direct dialogue responds to the challenges of complexity and connection, two of the key barriers to growth identified in Temu’s recent Small Business Insights Report, which was informed by meetings and discussions with over 100 European trade organizations.

“We want more small businesses in Latvia to benefit from the opportunities that e-commerce creates,” said a Temu spokesperson. “Working with Latvian IT Cluster brings us closer to local entrepreneurs, helping us understand their needs and support their ambitions to reach new customers and grow across Europe.”

Temu opened its Local Seller Program to businesses in Latvia in October 2025. In March 2026, it signed a logistics MoU with national postal operator Latvijas Pasts to support delivery and returns for local sellers.

About Temu

Temu is a global e-commerce platform connecting consumers with millions of manufacturers, brands and business partners. Operating in more than 90 markets worldwide, Temu is committed to providing affordable, high-quality products that enable customers to live better lives.
