ERM Appliance - Supply Chain

ScheduALL’s ERM appliance (ERMa) enables disparate ScheduALL systems to connect and accelerate project workflows throughout the content creation to distribution supply chain. With ERMa, anyone who owns a ScheduALL system can partner and share inventories with another ScheduALL system in real time. Studios can collaborate directly with Post Production, Broadcasters can seamlessly purchase bandwidth from Satellite transmission providers, and News groups can now work with freelancers and truck companies to book resources as required from anywhere in the world.

Each business unit will continue to work independently, yet enjoy “opt in” benefits of an entire vendor / partner network to accelerate workflows and drive even greater levels of profitability per project. ERMa delivers greater visibility into resource utilization within the corporate network as well as the ScheduALL partner supply chain, and allows the user to allocate the right resource to the right project for the right margin in real time.

Businesses can now view, book and manage projects, with resources anywhere within their ScheduALL partner network. For example, should one facility be at maximum capacity, they can look to other enterprise business units with complimentary skill sets or value-adds to accelerate deliverables, or maximize profits on any given project.

ERMa further facilitates the crafting of spheres of expertise based upon job function or task, to leverage the best ROI by location and project. This enables greater specialization without geographic limitations. Facilities make sizeable gains by taking their once linear regional operations to 24x7 as project work follows the sun. Businesses with ScheduALL can leverage ERMa to seamlessly collaborate on projects across multiple locations within the enterprise and partner network, which delivers maximum visibility, utilization and ROI on resources of all types.

Competitive pressures and the requirements to become more agile and responsive while maintaining profitability are driving businesses to think more dynamically.
