CIS
About — Since 1988

Engineering the systems behind modern media.

CIS is a media technology and operations partner born inside the broadcast industry. For more than three decades we have designed, integrated and operated the production systems behind the world's most demanding newsrooms, live sports, entertainment studios and digital-first content operations.

We pair deep engineering with on-the-ground operational know-how — from tapeless workflow pioneers in the early 2000s to today's cloud, AI and remote production stacks. With teams across Brazil and the United States, CIS is trusted by broadcasters, streamers, sports leagues, corporates and educators to keep stories moving from capture to audience.
