Leveraging the benefits of Digital Workflows

Rapid advances in both digital cinema and information technologies will result in more frequent replacement of systems in all segments of the digital management and operations process. As new systems are installed for programming, content management, and automation - and legacy theater equipment replaced with IT-based technology - integration of these "best-of-breed" systems is essential to achieve the promised ROI from these systems.

In this context, the term "workflow" defines the optimized integration of multiple systems in a digital cinema process.

Organizing the steps involved in the end-to-end theater-related process, and streamlining the movement and exchange of content and metadata among those steps are essential to extracting the value from your Theater Management System.

The following benefits can accrue from well-designed workflow automation :

• The rules are documented so that manual processes and workflow decisions no longer depend on individual knowledge or interpretations.
• Performance can be measured making it easier to find and eliminate bottlenecks.
• Processes for new requirements can be created based on existing workflows more rapidly and at significantly less cost.
