DID YOU KNOW ...
“ At the minute , our main office in the area we serve is our Dubai office in Dubai Media City ,” Marno establishes . “ It ’ s the Reuters building , where Roadie Shorts is located , too .”
“ Due to the depth and number of projects that we have going on , retooling a global organisation for us is happening in four phases . Now , actually , we ' re doing the second , third , and fourth phases simultaneously .
“ We ' re building in Springfield , we ' re building in Jerusalem , and we ' re moving to an MBN-owned leasehold in Beirut , all simultaneously , while also doing a global 2110 project , which we call the technical infrastructure upgrades .
“ As well as doing a massive UPS upgrade in the Springfield office , we ’ re building an IP-based OB vehicle , and building about 300 nodes of virtualised desktop infrastructure . We ’ re in the planning phases for that currently , in support of a post-pandemic remote workflow , as well as making us a much more agile organisation , from a news gathering point of view .
“ And that ' s not even in holistic terms . We just got a new facility in New York that needs to be stood up , and we ' re moving the facility in Washington DC , which is in the 400 North Capitol building , right across from where NBC , c span , and Fox are .”
