Screen - A New Generation with
Its Sights on Being the Leader
in AI-Based Systems
Screen is set to continue to improve and innovate its current
automated offering for subtitling service providers...

I

n light of the myriad mergers and
acquisitions in the industry right now
current preconceptions of such a move
seem to circulate around the 'we want
your IP so we'll acquire you to own it'
angle. It's a forgivable assumption
as it tells the story of so many
M&As we've experienced over
the past few years in broadcast
manufacturing.
This is not a criticism of that
approach directing an acquisition
because we agree that obtaining
specific IP through a wholesale
purchase of a company often plays
out to be a sound business strategy.
However, brands and the value they
represent alone are still real estate
that is keenly sought after.
Atlanta-based
BroadStream
Solutions who acquired Screen
Subtitling Systems during IBC last
year places a brand's reputation
high on the wish list of desirable
companies. This is not to say though
that BroadStream trawls the industry
with their sights solely on brands
carrying hefty equity, it's a much
smarter process than that.
A propensity to be moulded,
nurtured and to accept change leading
to improvement and consequently
growth is key. Sharing the same values
as BroadStream is a prerequisite.
So, take a strong brand with a
respected reputation, with values
that align with those of BroadStream
and a willing team with an open mind
and it's likely you have a company on
BroadStream Solutions' wish list.
The acquisition of Screen began
its life as a strategic partnership,
then subsequently the similarities in
values and working styles and product
synergies became so apparent that
it was the obvious fit for the planned
acquisition.
What makes this acquisition so
special is what BroadStream has
brought to such an established brand.
Consider the Chinese philosopher
Lao Tzu's proverb: "Give a man a fish
and you feed him for a day. Teach

him how to fish and you feed him for
a lifetime" and you're pretty close
to grasping what BroadStream as an
acquiring organisation brings with it.
Let's break down that fishing lesson.
Lean Six Sigma (See Figure 1) and
Continuous Improvement - including
process mapping - are components of
what is engrained in the companies
that BroadStream acquire from the
outset. The benefits of Lean Six Sigma
are too many to list and elaborate
on here but amongst them are factbased strategic planning, people
development, customer benefits and
of course competitive advantage.
Having a team of in-house Lean
Sigma Experts, BroadStream quickly
sets about training teams and indeed
begin turning around how operational
weak links are tackled and rectified.
Bringing Continuous Improvement
into the fold of everyday working
not only brings with it immeasurable
advantages for the company such
as increased productivity, improved
quality and lowered costs but also
empowered and satisfied
teams.
