Case Study: Sky Italia achieves reduced costs and improved efficiency with Aspera

Next-generation Digital Workflows Reduce Cost And Improve Efficiency

Sky Italia, Italy’s leading pay-TV provider with 4.7 million subscribers, faced growing pressure from roughly 250 post-production partners to speed up short-form media contribution and streamline broadcast operations. The company needed an upgraded broadcast infrastructure to shorten material procurement lead times and ensure fast, reliable ingest and distribution to on-air playout systems.

Sky Italia deployed Aspera’s Connect Server, Point-to-Point clients and Console across its Milan and Rome facilities to centralize ingest, automate delivery and enable high-speed transfers (up to 2 TB/day) with secure, managed workflows for dubbing, subtitling and quality control. The new workflows delivered automated end-to-end processing, faster on-air delivery, compressed lead times, improved efficiency and measurable cost savings.
