Case Study: Reuters achieves real-time news distribution with AWS Elemental

Reuters moves footage from two hours to seconds with AWS Elemental

Reuters, a global news organization, faced the challenge of capturing, verifying, and distributing real-time breaking news to global viewers across multiple platforms quickly and cost-effectively. They partnered with vendor AWS Elemental and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to modernize their live, fast-turnaround workflows and reduce the time needed to share content.

The solution implemented by AWS Elemental and AWS utilized the open-source TAMS API specification alongside services like Amazon S3 and AWS Elemental MediaConvert. This cloud-native approach enabled Reuters to ingest and distribute content nearly instantly, significantly reducing workflow time from hours to seconds and lowering associated costs. The vendor's solution transformed news distribution by enabling real-time collaboration, increasing efficiency, and providing the flexibility to scale for any story.
