As the media universe continues to expand at a rapid clip, it feels like we need content in every format, everywhere, all at once. With new opportunities coming at you all the time, its crucial that your organization have the ability to quickly compose new workflows to fulfill those opportunities. Content must be available in a variety of formats and languages, with suitable timing and ad breaks, and it must comply with local content standards.
In the face of these complex challenges, a speedy deployment may sometimes seem daunting. Operators are faced with tedious and time-consuming tasks like:
- Developing the new workflows and surrounding logic
- Testing new tools
- Deploying and maintaining associated infrastructure
Have no fear. The Rally platform can make this process much easier.
Provisioning new tools
A cloud-based Rally media supply chain gives you the agility to deploy one version or multiple versions of any given tool according to the demands of the job at hand, and Rally automatically scales resources up or down depending on the volume of associated processing required and the priority level of the project. Your supply chain can flex up or down – both in scale and sophistication – based on the size, speed, or value of the project.
Kickstarting quickly using samples
While the needs of a team for any given project may be unique, the reality is most media supply chains have a certain number of components in common. No matter which QC tool you prefer, for example, the results of that QC check will be used to set up a manual QC session. Similarly, no matter which language validation or metadata enrichment tool you use, the resulting data needs to be incorporated into the supply chain.
Fortunately, Rally users benefit from the time-tested media supply chains that have come before. Common workflows are available as samples that can jump-start your deployment with a tested, trusted supply chain setup. Pick a supply chain that roughly meets your need, now customize it using the best components for your use case. Employing these samples can reduce deployment time from weeks down to mere minutes.
Rally samples are currently available for many common workflows including ingest, QC, AI, delivery, and more. They are also available for specific functions such as checking file status, media info specs, creating concurrent workflows, etc.
