Miura - Advanced Software Tools for Broadcast & Media Operations
THE MEDIA WORKFLOW SOLUTION DILEMNA
In-house or Buy-in
As a media organisation you probably have personnel in your team with the right skills and experience to develop your own solutions to fit your specific workflow needs. Developing and supporting in-house solutions is a time consuming and expensive process. Time and money that is better spent focussing on what your media organisation does best; creating, enhancing, broadcasting or distributing great content.
Large Investment System
If you decide to develop an in-house solution you have the on-going challenge of keeping up with new formats and standards - whether it is different file formats with different compression methods, file containers, metadata schemas or new workflows. If you choose to purchase a system from a supplier, then you are likely forced to adopt their complete solution-AV processing tools, database structures and workflows - not all of which may fit the way you wish to operate.

Increased Productivity

Attractive Commercial Models
All too often the barrier to media organisations implementing rich media services in their operations is development cost or the capital expense of third party software. BLM offers cost-effective 'outright' licensing, with optional comprehensive support packages and SLAs. We also offer service based licences on all our software products. By doing so, we can help you minimize both your in-house development and third party product spend.
