Founded in 2000, SintecMedia develops and markets cloud-based business management software for media companies, including publishing and broadcasting companies. Among the company’s clients are broadcast networks ABC, NBC, and BBC.

In an emailed statement, the company said the layoffs are part of an organizational restructuring effort designed to “streamline operations, increase efficiency and drive strategic growth.”

“SintecMedia will consolidate acquisitions and functionally align into a leaner and more efficient global organization, increasing its investment in developing new products and supporting its flagship products,” the company said.
