REQUIREMENT GATHERING
At Broadflow, we prioritize the initial stage of any implementation: defining requirements. Through our years of experience with various vendors and after observing how numerous projects fall short, we've pinpointed the reasons that lead to exceeding schedules and budgets. While some issues stem from the vendor, others from the customer, most challenges could have been easily avoided with greater attention to detail from both parties early on. Unfortunately, many problems surface later, complicating and prolonging the resolution process. With our extensive experience, we can identify risk factors early on, ask the right questions, and determine the essential information vendors need. Most importantly, we excel at translating that into practical solutions.
PROCUREMENT
The market today offers a variety of broadcast metadata and business management systems. While these systems generally address similar business functions, their effectiveness can vary. Some excel in program and acquisitions management, while others shine in airtime sales management. One certainty is that all vendors promise their product is the best solution for you. However -
-
How do you look beyond the features showcased in a demo?
-
How can you determine which vendor will provide superior post-sales support?
-
How do you identify potential hidden costs?
-
How can you ensure that future needs will be met without overspending?
-
Which system will deliver the return on investment?
-
How do you select the right system for your unique requirements?
Choosing the right system is undoubtedly challenging. However, with Broadflow's extensive experience, you can be confident that the solution you choose will align perfectly with your needs, future plans, and budget.
THIRD PARTY INTEGRATION
Media content delivery used to be straightforward. There was a single platform and format, and as long as everything was set up correctly, concerns were minimal.
Today, however, the landscape has changed significantly. Content is now delivered across various platforms and formats, adding layers of complexity. Moreover, the range of services available to viewers continues to grow, making it increasingly difficult to manage all the data and synchronize systems. This complexity is compounded by a growing reliance on third-party systems for various services, including:
-
Media management
-
Delivery
-
Graphics
-
EPG management
-
Pass-through playlists
-
Conditional access
-
Predictive marketing
-
Rating and audience monitoring systems
… and the list keeps expanding.
All third-party systems rely on the accuracy of your metadata and the consistent flow of updates. It's essential not only to ensure a seamless interface but also to step back and confirm that all required supporting metadata is accurately processed. This metadata is crucial for integrated systems that use information to provide the correct content to users. Broadflow can manage the entire process, ensuring that integration with external systems is both efficient and as seamless as possible.
