OwnZones Media

The company's core business revolves around providing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions that help content owners, creators, and post-production houses manage, process, and distribute video content to various over-the-top (OTT) platforms and streaming services. The business model is designed to streamline the digital content supply chain, making it more efficient and cost-effective for clients such as studios and rights holders. Revenue is generated through its suite of cloud solutions that automate workflows, reducing the reliance on expensive on-premise hardware.

OwnZones' flagship product is OwnZones Connect, a cloud-native platform that facilitates media logistics. It leverages Interoperable Master Format (IMF), a component-based file format, to consolidate multiple versions of content, which can reduce storage costs by over 75%. Key features of Connect include a cloud-based IMF transcoder, live QC, and parallel processing that can accelerate content packaging and delivery. The platform also incorporates AI-driven tools like Deep Analysis and FrameDNA, which automate tasks such as compliance editing, quality control, and identifying structural similarities in video files to consolidate content libraries. Another service, OwnZones Discover, helps media companies distribute their content through branded video apps on major OTT marketplaces like Apple TV and Roku.

A significant event in the company's history is the legal action taken by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in April 2020. The SEC charged OwnZones Media Network, Inc., Dan Goman, and his brother Joseph Goman in connection with an unregistered securities offering that raised approximately $45 million from over a thousand investors. The complaint alleged that the defendants made false and misleading statements regarding a potential IPO and investment discussions with major companies. In October 2021, it was announced that Ateliere Creative Technologies had acquired Ownzones, with Dan Goman continuing as CEO of the newly combined entity.
