The drive to create an in-house rights management tool often stems from a place of necessity and frustration. Many companies find that existing options on the market simply don't meet their needs. Whether it's cumbersome reporting processes that take too long, overly manual operations, or a lack of intuitive access to crucial data, the challenges are real. Businesses in the media and entertainment sector are in a constant race to not only manage but also deeply monetize their content. The need for speed, accuracy, and efficiency is paramount, leading many to believe that a custom-built solution is the answer. However, while the motivation to develop an in-house tool is understandable, the reality of such undertakings often falls short of expectations for several key reasons.
1. Cost: The High Price of Reinventing the Wheel
Having a dedicated IT and engineering team is invaluable, but redirecting their efforts to develop an in-house rights management solution can be a costly misstep. The initial appeal of a custom-built tool often fades when confronted with the reality of its development costs, not just in monetary terms but also in time and resources. These projects can quickly spiral, consuming budgets that could be more effectively allocated towards strategic initiatives.
By the time your team has developed a solution that surpasses being a "clunky eyesore," you would have already missed out on managing your operations on a sleek, efficient platform like Molten Cloud. Our platform is designed from the ground up with the specific needs of media operations in mind, providing a cost-effective solution without the headache of development and maintenance that comes with in-house projects.
2. Learnings: Benefit from Collective Insights
One of the most significant drawbacks of going it alone with an in-house tool is the isolation from the broader ecosystem of distributors, producers, and streamers. Molten Cloud has the advantage of working with a diverse array of companies across the media and entertainment industry. This collective experience is distilled into our platform, offering a suite of features and optimizations born from real-world workflows, ideas, feature requests, and feedback.
