This increase is the result of three recent trends: more opportunities for cash flow, a supply that is limited, and higher than usual demand for media and telecommunications.

The complexity of delivering and tracking file transfers in a time when production company workflows are already stretched to the breaking point by rising project, partner, and production expectations are highlighted in a new research brief released today by Streaming Media, in collaboration with additional sponsors.

The research brief's main argument is that, despite partner expansion, increased production scale, and dispersed storage and workforce locations, legacy solutions fail to address overall workflow complexity.

According to estimates from BAFTA's sustainability programme, the carbon output of TV production decreased by more than half in 2021.

There are indications that the industry's efforts to engineer CO2 emissions out of the production chain are succeeding, even though a large portion of this reduction was caused by forced production shutdowns.

All in all, this research is highlighting the necessity—and viability—of taking additional steps to remove carbon from the production process at the source. That means that it is the responsibility of media companies to take into account the effects of all supply chain elements, which are classified as Scope 3 emissions by the global greenhouse gas protocol.
