I‘ve been thinking about the amount of data created and consumed in a single day, and it got me curious to look into the figures. I found the results very interesting – so I thought I would make an infographic to visualize my findings. I decided to focus on the more personal, everyday tasks most people perform in a day, such as...
This case study goes in depth on how FileCatalyst streamlined The U.S. Captioning’s workflow by eliminating the need to manually initiate every file transfer.
Traditionally, sending a file this size could take hours, depending on the geographic location, which is unacceptable for TubiTV, who receives numerous files daily. To meet the needs of their clients, TubiTV also needed to ensure that the solution was user-friendly, secure and simple to implement. Additionally, the solution had to be cost-effective.
Before deploying FileCatalyst, MM TV reporters shipped their media assets to headquarters either physically via physical storage or electronically via email, FTP and TCP. The time it took to deliver content became a major bottleneck in their workflow and significantly hindered their overall productivity. Read on to learn how FileCatalyst was utilized to fix this bottleneck.
While each failed file transfer method had its issues, Evirx encountered similar problems with each assessment: video uploads were slow and unreliable, files were often too large to transfer, user interfaces were unintuitive and difficult to navigate, and the solutions couldn’t integrate into Evirx’s existing web-based solution. Read on to learn how FileCatalyst Direct was deployed to help solve these problems.
Learn how, using FileCatalyst, EnginFrame’s client organizations were able to recoup lost time by gaining rapid access to their valuable data, applications, and resources.
