Case Study: FremantleMedia North America achieves secure global collaboration and streamlined content delivery with Box

FremantleMedia North America Executive Director of IT on the Changing Role of Technology in Television Entertainment

FremantleMedia North America — the U.S. arm of a global content company that produces thousands of hours of TV across hundreds of titles — faced a shifting IT landscape as productions became faster, more mobile and more digital. Chad Hamilton, Executive Director of IT, moved the organization away from reactive, legacy systems and the inefficiency of shipping physical media toward a strategy focused on timely, secure delivery of information and cloud-based, software-first tools that support crews and distributed workflows.

The team standardized on Box as a sanctioned collaboration platform, using show-specific workspaces, Box Sync for local access, and shared folders for promotional and production assets (including for the BUZZR channel and global vendor teams). The result: more productive, flexible collaboration, streamlined content delivery, stronger administrative controls and security, and an IT function that can be strategic and proactive rather than constantly firefighting.
