The SCC MediaServer Enterprise system installation replaces existing IBM NICA and NewsBank SAVE archiving systems, including the successful migration of 630,000 photos and graphics, 300,000 PDF pages, 1.4 million stories and 430,000 microfilm header records. The SCC MediaServer system has been tightly integrated with the Columbus Dispatch's latest generation CCI NewsGate editorial system, and provides a user friendly and highly configurable interface to CCI's otherwise complex import and export data requirements. The SCC system performs all necessary data extraction and conversion, record insertion, data enhancement and object linking, automatically generating an enriched archive of both published and unpublished elements. Greg Francis, Project Manager for the Columbus Dispatch had this to say: "The MediaServer implementation project is a great success. I have worked for the Dispatch for 10 years and have managed or worked on many projects with a number of Newspaper vendors and this is by far the smoothest and best implementation that I have experienced in the entire 10 years. SCC's installation team has been excellent and instrumental in the success of the project. They should be commended for a Job Well done!" The Columbus Dispatch SCC MediaServer system is licensed for 100 concurrent users and includes the following modules: SmoothNooz Module, which generates eEdition packages automatically from publication data exported by the editorial system. SmoothNooz maintains the newspaper's brand, look, layout, and personality, but adds all the interoperability and user-centered design of an online Rich Internet Application. The user's experience is smooth, intuitive, natural, and easy, allowing the user to zoom in to any level, zoom out to any level, slide from side to side, page to page, or have SmoothNooz do it automatically. RSS Reader Module, which automatically and continually retrieves and interprets new content from multiple RSS or ATOM feed sites over the internet, extracts text and thumbnail data, inserts it into one or more MediaServer libraries, and makes it accessible to clients via the same sophisticated search and retrieval techniques available for all other MediaServer content. RSS Syndication Module, which creates customized RSS feeds dynamically from changing content in MediaServer Libraries, across libraries, or in MediaServer Projects. The module can be configured as to number of feeds, number of items, and items meeting date and search criteria based on MediaServer metadata. Budget/Assignment Module, which provides tools for the creation, editing, tracking and auto-linking of budgets, assignments, and staff schedules, with their corresponding photo, graphic, video and story objects, as part of a digital media production workflow. Delivery Module, which supports automatic reformatting and delivery of files stored within the MediaServer database to a variety of destinations including web sites and resale vendors such as NewsBank and Lexis-Nexus. Replication Module, which provides the ability to maintain an identical copy of a MediaServer system at a remote site. The module incorporates a scheduling mechanism that can be configured to provide realtime replication of the system, or configured to run only at certain times of the day. The system is installed on a 64 bit Microsoft Windows 2008 Server Cluster with the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 relational database management system and is replicated in real-time to servers at the company's DR site..
