In a December 2023 interview with IABM, Philippe Bernard described 2023 as a year of "massive transformation" in the broadcast market, driven by a shift to IP workflows and cloud operations. He stated that the key benefits for customers moving to the cloud are "more agility" and a move from capital expenditure (CAPEX) to operational expenditure (OPEX), which he said is "from a financial perspective very important for some customers." Bernard noted that Globecast has been involved in cloud operations for over six years, but that the company is now focused on providing end-to-end integration through partnerships with cloud providers. Bernard said that Globecast is "in a big transformation" from a "pure distribution company on satellite fiber RP" to "an integrator now in the cloud." He mentioned that the company is moving its U.S. facility from Culver City to a new location near Los Angeles, which he described as an opportunity to "catch up new opportunity for the big customers in the us because we have a huge capability for remote production." Bernard also said Globecast is moving facilities in South Africa and transforming facilities in Paris to accompany the market's shift to more IP and cloud-based operations.
