This new platform enables media companies to operate and grow their advertising businesses and power the development and deployment of AI-driven capabilities.
The AOS Services Platform underpins modern media monetization by delivering a foundation of necessary services that supports all channels, integrates effortlessly into broader technology ecosystems, and empowers teams to scale smarter and grow without infrastructure constraints, the company said.
Launched in 2021 as a cloud based sales management system, Operative's AOS is used by notable media organizations such as Fox, NBCUniversal, WBD, Disney/ABC and Sinclair.
Designed for organizations managing multiplatform monetization at scale, the new AOS Services Platform gives media companies the flexibility to standardize their foundational operations in a modular way while building unique capabilities on top and maintaining enterprise control. The new AOS services modules available include:
- Core OMS Services – Shared enterprise services for inventory, product definitions, rate cards, planning, deals, orders, and billing across linear and digital environments

- Built-In Trust Layer – Enterprise-grade security, governance, privacy, and compliance across native workflows, APIs, and intelligent automation
