Case Study: Complex Networks boosts media accessibility and ROI with iconik

Complex Networks - Customer Case Study

Complex Networks, a global youth entertainment network, faced significant challenges in managing and searching its vast 800TB media archive across multiple brands. Their previous media asset management solutions were either too rigid, on-premise only, or prevented easy access to files, making it difficult for producers and editors to find and reuse valuable content efficiently while struggling with decentralized production workflows.

The solution was implemented using iconik, a flexible cloud-native media management platform. By moving their archive to iconik and integrating it with tools like Backblaze B2 cloud storage, Complex Networks made 800TB of assets fully searchable. This enabled the company to maximize content ROI, drastically reduce media retrieval times from days to minutes, and seamlessly transition to a decentralized remote workflow. The move also included transcoding 650TB of assets, which significantly reduced cloud egress costs and solidified their production infrastructure.
