TAMS in 2025: A simple tool for advanced workflows
The addition of powerful new features helps time addressable media gain momentum.
The , open-sourced by 麻豆社 R&D in 2023, had its public debut on the show floor at IBC last year, with a high-profile demo on the AWS stand. This featured of the API and brought together several partners to demonstrate an . We鈥檝e continued to work closely with AWS over the past year, building the TAMS community to add more partners and end users through a programme of AWS Cloud Native Agile Production partner enablement sessions on both sides of the Atlantic.
A bigger, more elaborate demo on the AWS stand at explored the use of TAMS to produce fast-turnaround eSports content. In collaboration with the community we鈥檝e been refining and evolving the API, adding even more flexibility, enabling novel multi-organisation workflows like the one being showcased at .
Waiting in the wings for release post-IBC is another tranche of features that the community has been clamouring for. Fine-grained authorisation will allow control over which content assets different users can access, opening the door to cross-organisation multi-tenant stores that break down silos. Flow profiles will make management of technical metadata more straightforward, allowing organisations to template, adopt and enforce house profiles for media formats. Improved filtering of notification events (implemented using webhooks) make it easier for clients of the API to consume just the events they need.
TAMS hasn鈥檛 just been progressing on paper, though. The 麻豆社 is building a TAM Store into its media supply chain, initially for extraction of VOD assets and fast-turnaround clipping and edit for news. But since these and many other use cases can be served by the same capability, this is only the start. The interoperability benefits of TAMS are starting to gain real traction in the industry: we are seeing TAMS support appearing in products from , , , , Techex, and more. And multiple vendors are developing TAMS service implementations tuned to different use cases and targeting different cloud providers.
But don鈥檛 just take our word for it. Watch the video to hear what key stakeholders in the 麻豆社 and the wider industry have to say. And visit to find out more about TAMS, and to stay up to date with the latest TAMS news.
