Challenge:

• Design an optimal workflow to help deliver EPIX's extensive library of HD movies, concerts, and original content across their premium cable channel, video-on-demand and online services
• Help the channel achieve maximum efficiency in blending online, linear and on-demand distribution workflows
• Meet the demands of adding new customers and create operational efficiencies on a scale never before seen in the entertainment industry

Solution:

• Create unique workflows, automations and notifications to power the multiplatform supply chain
• Provide status alerts and updates throughout the workflow process
• Allow easy execution of unified procurement strategies with Signiant's Integrated Partners Program (SIPP)

Results:

• Helped move EPIX toward "lights-out," demand-driven and database-managed procurement workflows
• Enabled EPIX to freely manage multiple procurement lifecycles from a single automated platform
• Replaced manual intervention with scalable and error free automation

Signiant was a key technology partner in EPIX's ability to streamline media workflows and automate backend processes to help drive profitability. The multiplatform approach EPIX developed necessitates the free-flow of large file sizes between in-house studios, cable and online distribution channels and multi-screen end-users. By gathering and taking advantage of the industry's best technical resources, Signiant and its partners enabled EPIX to manage numerous procurement lifecycles from a single automated platform.

With Signiant's software, EPIX was able to focus their resources and attention specifically on content and less on workflow management. For more information about EPIX, go to http://www.epixhd.com/.
