“Media Archive AI,” a collaborative IVN solution powered by Google Cloud’s generative AI, aims to accelerate time-to-value realization and enable new catalog monetization opportunities for media & entertainment customers

SAN FRANCISCO – October 14, 2024 – Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technology solutions, and Quickplay, a leader in cloud transformations of OTT experiences for Telcos, Broadcasters and Sports, today announced that they have collaborated with Google Cloud to create a Google Cloud Industry Value Network (IVN) solution for media and entertainment customers. Industry Value Networks bring together the expertise and solutions of systems integrators (SIs), independent software vendors (ISVs) and content partners to deliver comprehensive, differentiated, and repeatable high-value solutions on Google Cloud.

Globant and Quickplay’s IVN, “Media Archive AI,” is revolutionizing the way archival media footage is accessed and utilized, by leveraging the power of advanced machine learning and generative AI to digitize, enrich, and store vast quantities of archival footage and integrate and monetize with VOD, FAST channels and live broadcast. 

“As the media and entertainment landscape rapidly evolves, companies are under growing pressure to streamline the rights, tracking, management, and monetization of their content in order to accelerate their time-to-market and explore new business opportunities,” said Diego Tártara, Chief Technology Officer at Globant. “By working with innovative industry leader and Google Cloud expert Quickplay, we have been able to create an Industry Value Network solution specifically designed to address these critical business challenges, empowering companies to produce and distribute more compelling content with greater efficiency on Google Cloud.”

With Media Archive AI, content is meticulously converted from tapes and other traditional storage methods into digital formats and housed in a Google Cloud-based storage system. It is then enriched and tagged for easy indexing, searching and distributing within a modern, flexible Content Management System (CMS). The natural language search capabilities of Google Cloud Vertex AI and Gemini models also help enable the swift retrieval of content. This functionality is pivotal for incorporating clips into streaming and broadcasts, crafting dynamic and personalized channels, and enhancing services with targeted archival video content. It also marks a significant leap towards unlocking new acquisition, retention, engagement and monetization avenues in enabling content creators and programmers to leverage historical footage in compelling and innovative ways.

“Generative AI is a transformative solution to the industry-wide problem of accessing, discovering and monetizing vast troves of archival content,” said Paul Pastor, Founder and CBO at Quickplay. “This Media Archive AI solution simplifies the buying process for media companies and provides a time-to-market advantage in digitizing, indexing, publishing and distributing relevant, contextual and targeted content offerings.” 

“IVN solutions reduce the need for customers to create custom-built solutions for common industry challenges," said Albert Lai, Global Director, Strategic Industries at Google Cloud. "With Media Archive AI, Globant and Quickplay are combining Google Cloud’s AI capabilities with their own innovation and expertise to tackle practical challenges and achieve significant business results. This showcases how innovation with enterprise AI can accelerate digital transformation.”

• The company shares its latest insights on the synergy between professionals and AI in the healthcare system, the enhancement of operational efficiency through AI, and the complexities of data management.
• The report's significance is underscored by projections that global investments in AI for the healthcare sector will experience a tenfold increase by 2030.

SAN FRANCISCO – September 25, 2024 — Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technology solutions, has launched its new 'Move Your But' report to drive AI adoption in the healthcare industry, showcasing AI's potential to transform patient care and operational efficiency.

This new report delves into the impact of AI in the Healthcare industry and marks the inaugural release in a series of industry-focused reports titled "Move Your But." With this initiative, Globant aims to tackle the common excuses—or "buts"—that organizations use to justify not implementing AI.

The study addresses beliefs that may hinder AI adoption and provides Globant's solutions to these challenges. For instance, despite the belief that 'Healthcare is Personal', and may seem at odds with AI adoption, AI can actually serve as an ideal partner, enhancing personalization by automating routine tasks, thus enabling healthcare providers to concentrate more on patient care. By minimizing human errors, artificial intelligence promises safer healthcare and improved outcomes. An example of this is Globant's collaboration with an organization dedicated to glucose monitoring for diabetes management, which has resulted in a 78% increase in click-through rates, thereby enhancing adherence and management of diabetes."

"Artificial Intelligence possesses a remarkable ability to transform established paradigms, and the healthcare sector is not exempt from its transformative impacts. It’s overcoming hurdles like complex data management and time constraints. The potential of AI in healthcare is crystal clear and is beginning to have a tangible impact. It's revolutionizing billing, operations, and patient safety—raising the bar for quality and accessibility. And there’s more to come," said Lucas Najún Dubos, MD & Healthcare & Life Sciences Partner at Globant.

Addressing 'Data Management Challenges', the report recognizes the complexity of navigating healthcare data. Nevertheless, it acknowledges AI can break down data silos by integrating the data into an efficient navigation system. With AI-driven analytics, Globant has helped healthcare organizations achieve data processing speeds that are 50% faster, along with marked improvements in data management and patient care through solutions like centralized data platforms.

Regarding 'Regulatory Compliance', the report highlights that AI can simplify compliance by adjusting to new regulations while safeguarding data security and patient privacy. Globant’s Navigate Digital Twin platform aids organizations in maintaining compliance and increasing operational efficiency, with results such as 20% cost savings by pinpointing inefficiencies, tripled supply chain flow speeds, and 25% higher productivity through process automation.

The report also delves into the 'Fast-Paced AI Market', highlighting the challenges of keeping up-to-date with AI advancements; 'Change Management', discussing how resistance to change can impede AI adoption; and other pressing issues.

AI: An Expanding Investment for the Healthcare Industry

In terms of market growth and savings, the global AI in healthcare market was valued at USD 15.1 billion in 2022 and is forecasted to surpass USD 187.95 billion by 2030. AI's role in claims processing, overuse, and fraud detection could potentially save the US Healthcare System more than $1 trillion annually.

Globant remains dedicated to maximizing AI's potential to transform patient care and operational efficiency in healthcare, under the supervision of responsible employees. With an AI-centric approach, healthcare organizations can anticipate a future where technology not only complements but also enhances their work, leading to healthier patients worldwide.

The announcement was revealed at the SAP Sapphire & ASUG Annual Conference in Orlando. 

Harnessing real-time data and leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to process and derive critical business insights has become more essential than ever before for companies looking to improve their resiliency, boost efficiency, make better decisions, and future-proof their business.

“AWS and SAP are both innovative leaders in the digitization space, and their technology solutions have helped many of our customers unlock a new level of business success,” said Diego Tártara, Chief Technology Officer at Globant. “Through our longstanding relationships with both AWS and SAP, we have developed essential knowledge of and deep expertise in both companies’ solutions, and are uniquely positioned to assist customers in implementing these end-to-end solutions to complete their migration to the cloud.”
