MediaCorp is Singapore's leading media company with the most complete range of platforms, spanning television, radio, newspapers, magazines, movies, digital and out-of-home media.

Initiatives in the new digital space include Internet TV-on-demand, High Definition TV broadcast and Over-the-Top (OTT) interactive services. Until the project is completed by the end of 2015, Qvest Media will be responsible for comprehensive project-related consulting, evaluation and development of technology and business processes. The company will be in charge of the integration planning and implementation services as well as the service and customer support during the commissioning and supervision of the primary on-air phase. The project marks the successful kick-off for the company's new subsidiary in Singapore and the expansion of its business in Southeast Asia.

Joe Igoe, Chief Technology Officer, MediaCorp said: "This project is one of the most important technological milestones since we started our broadcasting operations in 1936. After its completion in 2015, we will carry out our media operations in one of the most technologically advanced new campuses in the Southeast Asia region."

The technological changes to the structure of the MediaCorp network go hand-in-hand with relocation of MediaCorp to the new campus at Mediapolis.
