PLANNING AUTOMATION

For automated non-linear planning, PROVYS offers more than just deriving catch-up plans from linear schedules. For maximum exploitation of all available content stored within global programme libraries, the so-called “continuous planning strategy” is available to distribute content to multiple non-linear platforms. It works on the principle on gradually adding content automatically on the platform for the maximum period based on purchased rights. However, automatically scheduled content can always be updated manually afterwards. PROVYS not only automatically schedules content, it also provides support for various scheduling strategies such as grouping episodes of series in bundles (to simplify bulk operations with episodes) and several episode release schemes. You can also define the editorial rules (positive or negative ones) like genre, programme category and type, PG or target group which are taken in account in automatic planning to pick the most suitable content for the platform. The automatic planning strategy allows you to run any number of non-linear platforms and supports various ways of consuming content to captivate as many viewers as possible. All you need to do is buy attractive content and set the business rules for automated planning.
