Hollywood, Florida – ScheduALL, the provider of Enterprise Resource Management (ERM) software to the transmission industry, has deployed its comprehensive LINK solution at Tata Communications’ video Master Control Room (MRC) in Pune, India.
The implementation of advanced transmission management from ScheduALL has resulted in the transformation of a formerly manual booking process to a new level of automation – including bandwidth capacity management, conflict prevention, transmission validation and automated transmission path selection.
The Tata Communications global network includes one of the largest and most sophisticated video networks in the world, with connectivity to over 300 media hotspots across 125 cities globally. All Occasional Usage (OU) transmission bookings will now pass through a centralised system powered by ScheduALL’ s LINK, capabilities combined with real-time reporting for costs, revenue, personnel and fibre inventory utilisation.
Richard Craig-McFeely, business development director, media services, Tata Communications said, “With the global expansion of our network, it was crucial to fully automate our fibre bookings and make our processes as efficient as possible. ScheduALL’s LINK system gave us instant inventory and conflict checking which supports our more efficient booking processes, allowing us to meet the complex service needs of our customers.”
The LINK solution implemented at Tata Communications leverages ScheduALL’ s innovative interoperability platform ScheduALL Chorus, providing a two-way interface to its Nimbra Vision network management system from Net Insight. The acclaimed integration technology built into Chorus allows for “schedule-once” efficiency, automating the entire end-to-end process from booking to transmission.
ScheduALL president Rick Legow remarked, “We are honoured to be a part of Tata Communications’ world-class communications network, helping them realise new levels of efficiency with our smart technology. ScheduALL automates the labour-intensive functions for Tata Communications such as slack capacity optimisation, reporting and invoicing, so they can instead concentrate on the big picture.”
