CEO Perspective: Reflecting on 2025 and Looking Ahead to 2026

As we look back on 2025, one theme stands out: this was a year of building. We built our long-term vision, strengthened our teams, deepened trust with our customers, and laid the foundation for an integrated global organization. From bringing together our acquisition and our incredible team in Argentina, to aligning our operations and preparing our 2026 go-to-market motion, this year was about constructing the future of Fabric piece by piece.

A major part of that journey has come from listening to and learning from our customers. Your feedback, challenges, and ambitions pushed us to refine our roadmap, evolve our products, and raise our standards. We are deeply grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us during a year of change—and for the partnership that helped us turn those changes into real momentum.

And that momentum is tangible. We’ve turned the corner across key areas of the business. Today, we have a clear product vision centered on Fabric Xytech and Fabric Origin (Studio, Data, Insights). We built an agentic workflow engine, prototyped natural language search for Origin Insights, and made significant strides on the next generation of Studio. Perhaps most importantly, the market now sees not just where Fabric has been—but where we’re headed.

Looking ahead to 2026, we are doubling down on the areas where customers have told us we can create the greatest impact:

• Automating and optimizing Studio workflows

• Improving scheduling efficiency and intelligence

• Unlocking the flow of data across the entire supply chain—our north star vision

Our goal is simple: to reduce friction, increase clarity, and create tools that let creative and operational teams focus on what they do best. Everything we build in 2026 will be centered on delivering more value, more automation, and more insight back to you.

This past year also reinforced something fundamental: integrations and transformations take time, but they also bring incredible reward. Bringing teams, cultures, and technologies together is never easy, yet it has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my career. Today, we have an extraordinary global team and a uniquely powerful combination of complementary software tools. Together, they position us to deliver innovative workflows across the entertainment world like never before.

To our customers, partners and employees (especially our newest team in Argentina): thank you—for your partnership, your patience, your feedback, and your belief in where Fabric is going. You helped shape our progress this year, and you continue to inspire the future we are building.

2025 was the year we built our foundation.

2026 will be the year we accelerate—with you.

Filter Content by Streaming Availability Dates with the Origin Nexus API

Developers can now filter movies and TV titles by the date they become available on streaming platforms, using two new Origin Nexus API parameters. Here is what you can build with them and why availability-date filtering changes how audiences discover content before it starts trending.

Your Metadata Has More Than One Version of the Truth. That's the Problem.

When three departments each maintain their own record for the same title, none of them wrong but none of them the same, the real cost isn't the occasional incident. It's the permanent overhead of a metadata environment nobody fully trusts. Here's what a genuine source of truth looks like and what it takes to build one.

What ScheduALL Got Right About Transmission — and Where Xytech’s X2 Goes Further

ScheduALL built its reputation in broadcast by solving a genuinely hard problem: transmission scheduling that understands how resources relate, not just whether they are individually available. Xytech's X2 Transmission replicates that relational foundation and goes further, adding a cloud-native architecture, a Network Visualizer, and an AI scheduling layer that changes what experienced transmission teams can accomplish in a day.

Metadata: The Hidden Engine Behind Every Streaming Recommendation

Metadata is the hidden engine behind every streaming recommendation. For platforms competing on content discovery, the quality, depth, and normalization of movie and TV metadata — from genre tags and contributor records to thematic enrichment and availability windows — determines whether recommendation engines surface the right title or settle for a generic list. This post breaks down the layers of entertainment metadata that matter most, why sparse or inconsistent data produces shallow discovery experiences, and how continuous enrichment pipelines are the only scalable answer to keeping a catalog current. If your platform's engagement metrics aren't where they should be, your metadata infrastructure is worth examining.
