Since 2001, Kane, a market research company based in Paris has developed a series of detailed reports on Server-based News operations and Media Asset Management systems in the broadcast sector. These studies, updated twice yearly, are based on several hundred site visits and meetings with leading broadcasters and manufacturers. They analyze and track developments in functionality, best-practice and ROI, from both the broadcaster and the manufacturer viewpoint, and provide a strong basis for carrying out detailed evaluations of news and production solutions, especially those which bring together several components such as Media Asset Management, editing and storage, NRCS, automation, graphics, and networking.

The Kane studies and the body of data built up over the years by Kane are the starting point for this Comparative Case Study of the technology solutions in operation at SBS, one of the leading broadcasters in the Asia-Pacific region. Kane was inspired to make a study of the SBS news project because anecdotal evidence suggested that very innovative operational procedures had been implemented, using a Media Asset Management-based infrastructure provided by a KONAN, a company until now little-known outside Korea.

The report shows that, according to the best practice criteria established by Kane, SBS is at the very top of the global scale and operating at a level of effectiveness which is higher than any other broadcaster studied by Kane.
