Data Beyond Display – DMP as OS

About the Session

Data Beyond Display – DSP as OS

For publishers, a DMP is not just one of the platforms available in the market. Implementing the technology requires an organization to pivot its very thinking, tying together various applications and platforms while linking teams that may not be used to working with each other. Vikram Somaya will detail the development of Thomson Reuters' DMP, examining how a company for whom media is only part of the puzzle can utilize a data management platform in a more holistic manner. He’ll also explain that the key skills for success with a DMP come from today’s revenue operations and management groups.
