NAB 2023: Tedial to introduce smartPackages as part of its smartWork platform
Tedial’s smartWork cloud-native no-code media integration platform will be at NAB 2023 with a suite of package business capabilities (PBCs). The enhancement is the M&E industry’s first PBC solution and is designed to bring broadcasters closer to the cloud and enable the composable enterprise, a modular approach that leverages existing digital capabilities to create new products and services.
smartWork, launched at NAB 2022, empowers users to define integrations autonomously – without vendor participation – creating business processes in a flexible and agile manner. At this year’s NAB, Tedial will present an enhanced version of smartWork that now features smartPackages, a set of PBC modules capable of streamlining the processes of different business units including, but not limited to, news, content delivery, post-production, archive and even IMF.
PBCs are reusable software components that provide the key building blocks of a composable enterprise, used to create best-of-breed solutions in many verticals. In the M&E industry PBCs represent self-contained units that solve a specific problem: localisation, content delivery, post-production, etc. PBCs function without external dependencies, or the need for direct external access to data. For interaction with the rest of the enterprise’s systems and services, each PBC offers a data schema, an API, an event notification system and a set of services.
Applying modularity to M&E entities achieves the scale and pace required to enact ambitious business practices. The modularity of PBCs combined with smartWork’s no-code technology – that allows applications to be created without any prior knowledge of traditional programming – enhances composability resulting in the flexible design of applications and services enabling organisations to innovate and adapt quickly to changing business needs.
Tedial’s smartWork can be deployed on-premises, on any cloud or in a hybrid architecture. The company recently achieved the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR) for smartWork. All smartWork services are available as apps, which can be provided by AWS.
Said Julián Fernández-Campón, Tedial CTO: “After the successful launch of smartWork in 2022, we are delighted to be back at NAB with an enhanced and expanded version of the platform featuring smartPackages, a set of PBC modules that reflect our roots in IT. This is the first and only solution capable of moving the world of PBCs into M&E with tools that tie directly to the business team’s needs by simplifying the creation and deployment of best-of-breed solutions.”
