With this growth in resources came the ability to provide broadcasters, channel providers, and content owners with a complete portfolio of satellite and terrestrial broadcast media solutions. To pull its existing and newly acquired resources together in offering such services, the company sought to replace legacy and manual scheduling systems with a robust resource management solution that would enable it to identify and then allocate service components in a way that fits the customer’s product and delivery model. “ScheduALL was an obvious candidate for our operations because the company already completed successful software implementations in the broadcast and satellite space,” says Julian Portman, finance director at Arqiva Satellite and Media. “Our operations present a significant challenge because they require the application of features across many different business areas. As a result, ScheduALL’s experience in addressing resource allocation across companies like Arqiva’s was key to our decision to work with ScheduLINK. We plan to grow our business along with the software, competing with other businesses in providing everything from the simplest service to the most complex package.” http://www.scheduall.com/caseStudies.aspx HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Oct. 1, 2009 — SScheduALL today announced that TFO, the Ontario French-language Educational Communications Authority, is using ScheduALL Enterprise Resource Management (ERM) software at its state-of-the-art HD facility to enable intuitive, efficient, and cost-effective scheduling of the people, rooms, and equipment involved in its production of programming for broadcast and other distribution platforms. “Having worked with ScheduALL previously at TVOntario, we understood its valuable capabilities and how its feature set and interface have been optimized for operations just like ours,” said Claire Lemieux-Lamarche, manager of operations at TFO. “Though we searched the market for a solution that could provide similar functionality, performance, and ease of use, nothing else matched up with ScheduALL. Because the ScheduALL team listened closely to our needs and was extraordinarily proactive in meeting them, we were able to implement a scheduling system that met both our operational requirements and our budget, and did so in a remarkably short time frame.” http://www.scheduall.com/NewsDetail.aspx?Id=76 HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Sept. 28, 2009 — ScheduALL today announced that Virgin Media Television, a provider of innovative programming and cutting-edge broadband content, has upgraded to ScheduALL Enterprise Resource Management (ERM) software, which is being used at its Creative Village post-production facility to manage promo creation and compliance versioning for programming delivered to major digital television platforms including Virgin Media, Sky Digital, and Freeview.
