Industry Leaders Speak Out on ScheduALL’s Best of Breed Interoperability

April 5, 2012 - PRLog -- (Hollywood, FL)  ScheduALL’s interoperability platform, "Chorus" is setting the global standard for dynamic collaboration within the media, broadcast and satellite communities.  Chorus accelerates file based workflows by reducing the continued double entry of data across disparate systems including content movers, asset managers, ingest, QC and the like. Unifying processes and enhancing project reporting and timelines, ScheduALL is committed to ending bespoke, single-vendor interfaces for its customers around the world.  

Aspera, an industry leading content mover that develops breakthrough software transfer technologies to achieve optimal performance and cost savings using existing network infrastructure recognizes the impact that this unique interoperability delivers to the community of Aspera customers.

"The dynamic XML capabilities of 'Chorus' will enable Aspera transport to be easily and seamlessly integrated into digital content workflows for major, joint industry clients," says Mike Flathers, Chief Technologist, Aspera Developer Platform.

Dalet solutions enable broadcasters and media professionals to create, manage and distribute content to both traditional and new media channels, including interactive TV, the Web and mobile networks. Dalet combines into a single system a robust and proven Asset Management platform with advanced metadata capabilities; a configurable workflow engine, and a comprehensive set of purpose-built creative and production tools.

“Dalet and ScheduALL share many major clients in the broadcast and media space, and we know that tight integration with ScheduALL’s product through their Chorus platform will be a real win for Dalet clients. At Dalet we’re always seeking ways to bring greater value and drive efficiencies for our clients, and we’re certain that this tighter integration with ScheduALL will do just that,” said Raoul Cospen, Director of Marketing for Dalet Digital Media Systems.

Interoperability is systemic, essential and includes hardware providers as well. Miranda recently partnered with ScheduALL to innovate the way facilities transmissions are assembled and workflows streamlined at customers like The Switch and Sky News Arabia.  

“At Miranda, we’re constantly looking for opportunities to add value to our client relationships with solutions that make their operations more efficient. Our partnership with ScheduALL, and the Chorus platform, helps us deliver the most efficient management of incoming signals into and through their production workflows. In today’s broadcast world, as more and more feeds are being managed, removing complexity from this function is critical and ScheduALL helps us deliver that,” said Marco Lopez, Sr. Vice President, Infrastructure, Routers and Monitoring at Miranda.

Net Insight's trusted media-rich transport solution Nimbra Vision is also integrated with ScheduALL's ScheduLINK clients’ circuit booking and management systems. This connectivity provides enhanced booking capabilities and faster response times for operators.

”We have successfully interfaced ScheduALL’s Chorus with the Northbound Provisioning Interface in Net Insight’s network management system, Nimbra Vision, in several customer production environments already. This combination seamlessly brings ScheduALL’s acclaimed Booking and Resource Management functionality to the Nimbra solution, which has gained much traction from our customers and the market,” says Anders Persson, Executive Vice President at Net Insight.

Signiant provides the sole open, integrated, software-only solution for moving content within the internal and external production workflows of leading television broadcast companies. Signiant helps broadcasters complete transitions to file-based workflows easily and effectively, to maximize the response to time-to-market demands. Integrating with ScheduALL further simplifies the process and user experience.  

“We are thrilled to be able to leverage their Chorus product to fast-track integration between our two product lines, which will allow us to drive further efficiencies in our clients’ businesses,” says Rick Clarkson, Vice President of Product Management at Signiant.

Interoperability is a common request across the entire media and broadcast customer community. Those who can deliver it with minimal effort and cost will have a unique advantage over those who don't. The days of bespoke, expensive one to one dedicated interfaces are rapidly being replaced by dynamic, XML and SOAP functionality for fast, inexpensive and measureable ROI, at least for ScheduALL customers who use Chorus as their interoperability platform.
