Human-centered innovation and AI-driven workflows designed for today’s hybrid broadcast environments
CGI presented its bold new vision for the future of broadcast and digital media at the IBC2025 show in Amsterdam.
This year, CGI highlighted a modernized and expanded product portfolio designed to meet the evolving needs of broadcasters worldwide—from next-generation newsroom systems and advanced radio production workflows to tailored IT and consulting services that enable digital transformation. Our innovation partner, HighField AI, joined us to showcase collaborative, AI-driven solutions for content production and automation.
Next-generation newsroom with OpenMedia
CGI’s flagship newsroom system, OpenMedia, is being redesigned to use a modern, proven technology stack that can run anywhere, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid deployments. Our system is being developed in close collaboration with broadcasting teams and follows a human-centered design approach. It will deliver a faster, more intuitive, and scalable platform for both traditional broadcast and digital-first environments. Current clients will continue to receive support for OpenMedia Classic, with a smooth evolution path to the new platform planned to support operational continuity and a seamless transition.
“The redesigning of OpenMedia reflects a fundamental shift in how newsrooms can operate across hybrid environments,” said Michael Pfitzner, CGI Vice-President – Subject Matter Expert for Media. “We have reimagined the platform from the ground up, with a modern architecture and a human-centered user interface that gives broadcasters the flexibility to deploy wherever their operations demand, while maintaining the robust functionality that mission-critical newsrooms require.”
