The Sacramento Bee goes live with SCC's news budgeting module May 1, 2009 ALPHARETTA, GA., May 1, 2009) -- SCC is pleased to announce that The Sacramento Bee, CA. is now fully live and operational with SCC's budgeting and assignment workflow. SCC MediaServer has been installed at the Sacramento Bee since 1998, but only recently added SCC's budgeting module which adds a comprehensive set of web browser enabled tools for story planning and scheduling as well as multimedia request, assignment and fulfillment. The top level budget record, is essentially a job ticket that acts as a parent to other child records, i.e. requests for multimedia production, and in turn each request once assigned, becomes a parent to submitted child objects i.e. photos, videos, graphics and stories generated for that request. As part of the system configuration, and at each step in the workflow, any part or all of the data entered into a parent object (e.g. budget record) automatically flows into every child assignment request generated from that budget record, and ultmately into every submitted high-resolution multimedia object. This guarantees that all multimedia content entered into the SCC system becomes automatically enriched with valuable and fully searchable metadata. In addition to providing email notifications at various stages of the production workflow, the SCC MediaServer system also provides sophisticated syndication tools allowing for any multimedia item within the content package or pyramid as it's also referred, to be automatically and simultaneously delivered to any number of target systems, resales vendors and content aggregators, where each delivered content item is formatted to suit the particular target.
