Avid Everywhere across France for M6

M6 Group, the media company behind the most profitable national television network in France, has embraced Avid Everywhere and implemented a Avid media asset management solution for managing content and media assets. The new Avid workflow enables M6 to share purchased content between 50 users and four departments, enhance collaboration between team members, save time and resources throughout the organisation, and maximise the value of its massive archive of media assets.

“Avid Everywhere enables us to save valuable time and resources across our entire organisation,” stated Mathias Béjanin, technical director at M6. “Our old workflows and systems were limited, and did not allow easy cooperation between departments. Thanks to our new Avid workflow, we are now able to easily share media between all of our different departments.”

Avid Interplay MAM provides M6 with a centralised workflow that enables the organisation to enhance collaboration between team members, and save time and resources throughout the entire enterprise. M6 team members can now easily access, store, and share media, greatly enhancing productivity throughout the production process. The metadata information for each video and audio file is standardized and easily accessible, which simplifies the exchange of data between departments.

“With Interplay media asset management, we are able to use our online storage much more efficiently, which saves valuable space,” Béjanin stated. “Plus, our team members can collaborate remotely, and no longer need to be in the same building.”

Additionally, M6 is now saving money by sharing purchased content among multiple departments within the organisation. In the past, separate departments within the organisation often purchased identical images from media suppliers. Now, licensed media ingested into the MAM system is immediately available to everyone.
