Music and electronic game publishers, television
broadcasters, video production companies, content aggregators, and
telecommunications carriers worldwide are expected to spend more than $8
billion on the tools needed to create, edit, manage, and load various forms of
content onto mobile devices by year-end 2008, according to a new market
research study from The INSIGHT Research Corporation.
INSIGHT's market analysis study, "Content Management
for Wireless Networks, 2008-2013" describes the technology and market
forces required to put music, video, and other types of information and
entertainment content onto cell phones and other types of mobile devices. The
study notes that current content management systems are primarily focused on
the delivery of the content to a specific device type, and that within the
forecast period attention will shift from discrete systems focusing on delivery
of specific content using rudimentary content management integration to
full-blown systems that are centered on reusable content suitable for
multi-channel delivery.
"Today's tools are able to manage various types of
content and put specific types of content onto specific devices," says
Robert Rosenberg, INSIGHT Research president. "What is truly needed,
however, and what we expect to see emerge over the next few years, are tools
that unlock the value of content in the digital age by formatting and managing
content for device- independence. When content becomes reusable across multiple
delivery channels its value increases enormously, which will foster investment
in developing the next generation of content management tools"
concluded.
