Champs sur Marne, France (PRWEB) June 26, 2009
SGT, a leading global software vendor in the broadcast and media industry,
and Interra Systems, the leading provider of Digital media solutions
to enable delivery of high quality media products and content, today
announced that they signed an industry and technology partnership agreement
to provide their joint customers with seamlessly integrated, customizable
and flexible product solutions to enhance the systems quality and reliability
of their broadcast installations. VEDA™ is SGT's flagship product
and integrates the company´s unique know-how and expertise in workflow
automation and video content management for traditional broadcasters
with the need for multi-delivery models. Baton® is Interra´s industry
leading software solution for automated content verification for file-based
media throughout the content lifecycle. Both companies have already
collaborated on several customer successes in Northern Europe.
The objective of the partnership is to provide joint customers with powerful, flexible and integrated product solutions that help them to increase the reliability and quality of their systems throughout the content lifecycle. With the VEDA™ Quality Check module, operators can visualize high-resolution material to check the technical information and to generate quality reports. Thanks to the integration of Baton® with VEDAT, they now also have access to error reports. Hence, in just one click, the operator can see the list of content anomalies generated by Interra and check their relevance. This facilitates their tasks, increases their efficiency, and accelerates the validation process.
François Chiche, Vice President Sales and Marketing at SGT, says: "The partnership with Interra Systems is strategic as our products are highly complementary and provide significant economical advantages to our joint customers, especially for TV channels with a strong need for quality check and systems integrity."
