Announcement: Establishment of Media Technology and Communication Practice

Today G3 announced the establishment of its Media Technology and Communication (MTC) practice which will be focus on servicing this Sector.

Over the past 10 years G3 has worked with a large number of companies in this sector, attracted a number of key people from this sector, and developed considerable capability around niche requirements found in Media, Technology and Communication.
Andrew Borresen, who joined G3 early in 2001, will head the MTC Practice. Andrew has been key to the advancement of G3 Global’s Media specific developments and solutions including G3’s flagship development of the Intellectual Property Ledger which fills a vital white space in the SAP solution offering between SAP’s IPM, other external Royalty calculation engines, and the Finance Ledger.

The MTC Practice will continue to invest in delivering products that add strategic value to our clients and form part of a road-map for “readiness” to embrace the changing face of Media.  A large part of the G3 Global MTC Practice offering will therefore focus on developing best practice suites that provide a solid ERP platform.
Mike Slemmings will be leading our Media Service. Mike brings with him more than 10 years experience within the Media sector successfully delivering projects within companies such as Sony Music, EMI Music, Universal Pictures & the BBC.  Mike’s responsibility will be to focus on developing our All-in-One Media propositions such as (G3MediaSuite).

Jurgen Lootens and Drew Preston will be leading the Technology aspects of the Practice, including further enhancement of the Intellectual Property Ledger (IPL) as well as an Electronic Royalty Statement cloud “Portal” based on a software as a service model which they both have considerable experience in.

Says Andrew Borresen, “Digital distribution channels have created vast opportunities for Media companies to expand quickly and exploit the long tail in the market.  Many that have expanded quickly have felt the pain of back and mid office systems creaking at the seams in an effort to manage the volume, Meta Data requirements and IP complexities. The result is that they are finding it very difficult to account accurately and timely to their stake holders. In the lead up to the launch of this practice we have been working on solutions to address this specific gap and look forward to working together with key industry players to formalise the ‘go to market’ proposition.”

Says Chris Gunter, “The establishment of our MTC practice will bring greater focus to the unique requirements of clients in this sector, whilst enabling us to continue the core service offering that G3 has become known for. I am looking forward to seeing even further improvements in our Customer Service as we bring together even more expertise required to help them in strategic initiatives.”
