Snell Advanced Media selects Gemalto for Protection against threats to Intellectual Property
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, July 21, 2016 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, announces that it is providing a comprehensive, flexible
and secure licensing solution for Snell Advanced Media (SAM), a leading provider
of live production, editing, playout, infrastructure and image processing
technology for the broadcast, post production and media industries. Sentinel
Entitlement Management System (EMS) and Sentinel Rights Management System (RMS)
enable SAM to streamline licensing operations and protect the valuable
Intellectual Property (IP) around its new product suite of software tools,
xFile.
The development of the xFile framework was a move that transformed their
postproduction solutions from purely hardware-based to software-based. SAM
looked to Gemalto to provide a means to apply licensing to improve operational
efficiencies including audit reporting, renewal reporting and product
activation, and prevent IP theft.
"Before we could offer our software commercially, we knew we had to protect our
applications from reverse engineering and tampering," said Jeremy Courtney, Head
of Media Processing Software at SAM. "Operating in the dynamic media and
broadcasting space means we are dealing with an increasingly digital-savvy
client base, and offering that extra security and ease-of-deployment for our
software packages is what makes all the difference. One of the advantages of our
On Demand framework is its flexibility and scalability and we wanted the same in
the protection and licensing solution that we chose. The addition of Sentinel
RMS and EMS has further enhanced that."
Sentinel RMS enables SAM to easily offer and enforce a variety of licensing
models and packaging options for its xFile products. In addition to offering new
ways to package and sell our products, Sentinel RMS protects the intellectual
property in the applications, reducing the risk of IP compromise,
Sentinel EMS manages software entitlements for its individual products in the
suite and back office licensing operations, including the software fulfillment
and activation for which each customer is entitled. SAM integrated the Sentinel
EMS license server with its SAM store to enable online customer self-service -
including payment, automated order fulfillment, activation, maintenance
releases, and upgrades. Once payment clears, Sentinel EMS creates the
entitlement and returns an activation code to the customer. Gemalto also
supplied a Salesforce.com Connector to enable future integration of Sentinel EMS
with SAM's CRM system.
"SAM's transformation is indicative of what we are seeing in the device vendors
market. To stay ahead of the curve in the relevant industry, vendors need to be
forward-thinking to realize the value of a software-driven business model and
the potential such a transformation could have on pricing and packaging models,"
said Jamie Longmuir, Regional Director at Gemalto. "The collaboration between
Gemalto and SAM reflects the importance that software licensing and entitlement
is having on a business that is looking to grow and secure its competitive
advantage."
