Addressing LATAM Media Needs

Felipe Andrade, CIS Group VP of Sales Americas, stated, “LATAM media content owners and channel managers face the same need as their colleagues around the world to maximize operational efficiency. PlayBox Neo’s solution allows the entire playout process to be controlled as a coordinated workflow, from ingest right through to on-air or online transmission. Among its strengths are an easy-to-understand graphic interface allowing the entire process to be handled quickly, easily, and reliably.”

Successful Collaboration with CIS Group

Sonya Chakarova, PlayBox Neo Business Development Manager for Latin America, expressed gratitude towards the CIS Group for their partnership. “After successful exhibitions in Europe, the USA, Middle East, and APAC during Q2, we found it highly effective to connect with key TV channel managers and service providers in Brazil. We organized sales and technical training sessions with the CIS team, visited our current clients, and met with potential new ones.”
