People-Ready

Your people are your greatest assets and empowering them to think up new ways of working with content can dramatically improve your business. At the heart of a people-ready media business are people, information and the exchanging of ideas between editorial, production, post-production, marketing, sales, field workers, partners and suppliers. Providing your teams with the tools they need to manage content in multiple formats and to collaborate on projects, increases creativity and responsiveness to constantly changing requirements.

Benefits

  • Improves team working through real-time information sharing
  • Minimises time spent trawling archives and previewing content
  • Increases time-to-market for innovative digital content
  • New and archived content is easily accessible

Employees making the most of their creative intelligence are the driving force behind any media organisation. Companies that have to deal with legal contracts, licensing, creative output, and other intellectual property have a need to bring together relevant information quickly and accurately to add business value and improve productivity. However, the nature of media organisations means people are working with substantial amounts of unstructured information.

Decreasing the amount of time it takes to search for current and archived content is key to a swift production process. By selecting Microsoft Enterprise Search, broadcasters can search for files as fast and easy as searching the Web. Previews and visualisations of files can help people more quickly determine what action to take. Individual workers are able to make a single search to find relevant information held on their desktop PCs across the corporate network as well as public Web sites. This knowledge is then available to share across the organisation.

"With Microsoft Enterprise Search, we won't need any specialist hardware, which would be necessary with a point solution. A major benefit is also that any investment made in search functions will now integrate easily with new Microsoft products such as Windows Vista, which is the next desktop operating system we are planning to invest in."
