TMD – Making Business Count
Mediaflex, a modular suite of business software
applications, is designed to go beyond
traditional Digital & MAM systems

Tony Taylor
Chairman &
CEO, TMD

I

am writing this on the last day
of NAB, after four busy days of
talking to broadcasters from around
the world. What has become
absolutely clear is that they all face
one huge challenge: they have to
deliver significantly more content to
significantly more platforms.
The technology to do that,
including encoders, streaming
devices and codecs, was
everywhere at NAB. At TMD we play
an important part in the process too,
with the Content Intelligence module
of our system providing a workflow
engine to orchestrate it all. That is
fine. But it is only a part of the story.
William Edwards Deming was
an American statistician who used
his skills in numerical analysis as a
new basis for management skills.
From 1950 onwards he spent a lot
of his career working in Japan, and
he is widely recognised as one of
the reasons the Japanese industry
became so dominant so quickly.
He probably did not say the one
phrase that is commonly attributed
to him – if you can’t measure it you
can’t manage it – but he almost
certainly said “In God we trust: all
others bring data”.
What was clear at NAB is that
broadcasters now understand that
they are content factories. The huge
and sudden rise in deliverables
should be seen as simply expanding
the product line, drawing on the
same raw materials of talent to
create interesting programming.
In a manufacturing business,
you can see where the bottlenecks
in production lie, and so you can
consider investing in those areas to

make the line move more evenly. In
developing the capital plan to make
that investment, you will calculate
the effect of the additional machinery
on your ability to make products
better and faster, what effect that
will have on revenue, and therefore
if there is a positive commercial
benefit in spending the money.
So if broadcasting is now a
content factory, we have to apply
the same principles. Delivering
to multiple platforms, our newlyexpanded range of products, calls
for resources in both people and
machinery, and we should measure
their performance to understand
how our factory is running.
Do our automated quality control
lines mean that we only need five
human QC operators, not the ten
we currently have who are drinking
far too much of the free coffee? If
we have ten encode licenses but
only one standards conversion
licence, is that a good match for
our requirements or is it causing
a bottleneck?
When a piece of content is put
in an encode stack, how long does
it take to reach the top of the list?
Too soon and we may be overprovisioned, too long and we risk
not meeting audience expectations.
Most important, what does it cost
to do each process? And are we
making money doing it? If we invest
in further equipment will the capital
be repaid? Can we do more with
what we already have?
The ability to collect and report
on performance should be a central
part of any workflow engine. It
certainly is in ours. It is another
example of how metadata can
be created and built in a system
and subsequently analysed. Use
that metadata to create an audit
trail, and feed that information into
the business reporting structure.
Manage by measuring performance
– bring that data.
