EXPLORE

An Overview:

Many workflow systems claim flexibility and affordability, often disguising the huge consulting investments to integrate and deploy, and subsequently modify. Not to mention the business disruption they can cause.

Additionally, many do not have integrations with incumbent business systems. This requires intrusive and expensive development cycles that result in complex installations with extensive interdepartmental business process negotiations leading to risky outcomes with unpredictable delays.

Even more challenging, these consulting exercises are invariably stymied by a lack of understanding of the nuances of the media business. They often, create a large messaging overhead both in compute resources as well as information overload to staff from ‘chatty’ messaging rules that convey little or no information.

Workflow systems can assist in defining adherence to defined business process, but few provide meaningful information on the actual performance of the business processes in context. Performance feedback is a minimum requirement for continual improvement of efficiencies.

Mediabase Guardian™ was specifically designed to assist media enterprises overcome these challenges.

Mediabase GuardianTM features:

Provides data governance insights

Promotes process improvement

Enables development of business KPIs

A New Approach

All media businesses have business processes in place that have evolved from vendors’ system best practices or in-house workarounds. Some are automatic, others manual

Rather than automating institutionalized workflows and practices, we asked the question “how do you know which processes need to be addressed to optimize the business as a whole?”

It became readily apparent that organizations often embarked on a Business Process Re-engineering studies based on the aggregate requirements derived from anecdotal information from owners of entrenched business practices.

Accurate measurement was the key

In a bid to source unbiased data to drive decisions, Decentrix based Mediabase Guardian™ on our foundation of Business Analytics. By measuring the actual workflows, as they are at any given point in time and providing insights into the data-flows of the business using ‘data probes’, Guardian supports continuous process improvement.
