Software That Runs Your Audience — Content, Streaming and Events in Sync
Control Shift is a Dubai software team that builds media and entertainment software for the UAE market. From streaming and OTT platforms to media asset management, ticketing and event systems, we replace the tangle of manual uploads and disconnected point solutions with one connected platform your content, distribution and commercial teams actually enjoy using.
