4:30 PM to 4:50 PM

In a perfect world, there would be universal parameters set for determining the success or “performance” of a company, however, we face the challenge of defining what this concept means. In the world of streaming, we can define performance through several types of data, including revenue, minutes watched, ROI, completion rate, total playbacks - the list can go on. However, with no industry standard set, different brands and companies measure these metrics differently as well, creating discrepancies in measurement and reporting. With all these parameters in mind, how can we effectively analyze streaming data to measure and improve performance? In this session, we’ll discuss the roadblocks companies face while analyzing performance data, and will also provide insight into how companies can successfully define performance to improve their platforms.
