NETIA's Content Management Solution for Orange (CMS) involves ingest of content from diverse sources, cataloging of content for access by various divisions, and for efficient content management.

This QC requirement in NETIA CMS is fulfilled by Interra's Baton.

The deployment of Baton in NETIA CMS for Orange required a close collaboration across NETIA, Videomenthe, and Interra Systems. The NETIA CMS organizes media management processes including the Quality Control processes driven by Interra's Baton.
