Amdocs, a leading provider of software and services to communications and media companies, announced that Vubiquity, an Amdocs company, has been chosen by Lionsgate as a key collaborator to move its content library, consisting of over 18,000 film and TV titles, to a cloud-based platform.
This collaboration marks a transformative step forward in streamlining content accessibility across various content platforms. This cloud-based content library will empower Lionsgate’s content sales team with enhanced searchability, enabling targeted content distribution across global regions.
Vubiquity has collaborated with Bitpress to leverage their diverse automation systems under a new orchestration layer to seamlessly integrate with Lionsgate’s current vendors and newly established cloud library to facilitate the efficient ingestion of source files. This dynamic system analyzes existing content, carefully aligns video and audio components for each title, and synchronizes multiple audio and subtitle tracks. This automation goes a step further by adeptly executing necessary content edits to ensure top-tier quality.
Akin Ceylan, COO of Home Entertainment and Global Content Distribution Operations, Lionsgate,

Anthony Goonetilleke, Group President of Technology and Head of Strategy, Amdocs,
We are pleased to work with Lionsgate to centralize and organize their incredibly diverse catalog of content, making it easier for them to include their movie and TV catalog in entertainment offerings around the world. As we’ve recently seen , libraries of existing content can become power players of streaming, and this agreement will help Lionsgate content more effectively reach viewers than ever before.
