MSP evaluates and documents current and desired production workflows, distribution
and archiving processes, technologies, content characteristics, and associated metadata
schema and rights management methodologies.
Emphasis is placed on workflow efficiencies, content value and lifecycles, preservation
needs, and business objectives, constraints and opportunities.
Our workflow specialists examine all metadata and media movements in search of ways
to make them work more efficiently, meaning more production for less cost. The first
stage in the process is high level workflow design: describing how things will work,
with an emphasis on identifying what, when, where, why and how information is exchanged
between business units, workgroups, and systems (equipment). We record the high
level design in graphical and textual documents targeted both for engineering staff
as well as operations.
MSP manages the project from requirements gathering through deployment, specializing
in multi-vendor implementations.
