Sanoma sold their TV business (SBS broadcasting) to Talpa.
Sanoma and SBS share IT services and contracts. Some are being delivered by Sanoma IT and some by SBS IT. These services have to be disentangled. Some with high priority (within a few months) for some both parties will agree service agreements to continue to deliver the service for a limited time.

1. Split Sanoma Data stack in a Sanoma and SBS stack (high priority)

2. Decide and realise the future Sanoma VOD platform.

3. Relocation Veronica Uitgeverij (Veronica magazine, not the TV channel). Veronica will stay with Sanoma and will physically move from SBS location in Amsterdam to Sanoma location in Hoofddorp.
