Immediate attention to cost control is an urgent imperative. At the same time, it's important to remember that, throughout every economic cycle that the media and entertainment industry has experienced in the past few decades, one thing continues to remain true: great content, great operations and great companies will usually win the day. This is still an exciting time for a large portion of this industry, and significant opportunities exist for savvy executives to help their companies not only cut costs, but also proactively transform their operations to pull away from the competition during the downturn. Costs are the No. 1 issue on the minds of many CFOs and CEOs in the media and entertainment industry.

Based on Accenture analysis, media and entertainment companies have the potential to realize savings of up to 40 percent of their operational costs by migrating to a fully digital environment.
