Microsoft ha realizzato una soluzione per gestire al meglio i flussi di pre e post production. L'idea nasce dal fatto che, come per altre applicazioni software, gran parte delle attivita' prevedo interventi manuali molto frequenti.
Partendo da Office , ed in particolare da Sharepoint, i nostri ingegneri hanno creato una soluzione per automatizzare attivita' di pre e post production usando semplici tool video via web e implementando alcuni workflow in Sharepoint che permetto l'automazione di un bel po' di attivita'. Non ultimo e' stato creato un metadata repository in Sharepoint per gestire successivamente i dati.
Ecco sotto alcune anticipazioni, maggiori dettagli sulla soluzione qui.
Microsoft Interactive Media Manager is a collaborative media management solution that extends Microsoft Office SharePoint® Server 2007 for media and entertainment companies. The solution builds on existing technology investments, and helps companies create an end-to-end content production system accessible by everyone. In addition, Interactive Media Manager easily integrates with Microsoft business intelligence tools, giving management insight into production details.

Ecco un estratto:
"... Chris Pratley, general manager of Office Labs, is slated to disclose details of the prototype -- called TownSquare -- Thursday at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston. He spoke to Computerworld about the project, which was launched in January and has already been used by about 8,000 Microsoft employees. With a layout that is strikingly similar to Facebook.com's (in which Microsoft invested $240 million in October 2007), TownSquare is fueled by enterprise news feeds that use Web services to query SharePoint for public information, such as promotions and company anniversaries, about an employee. TownSquare also notifies users when a document or file is modified. Users can customize their feeds and monitor who is receiving information about them. In early January, Pratley's group told 100 Microsoft employees about the network. Since then, 8,000 employees who learned of TownSquare by word of mouth have visited the network at least once, Pratley noted. About 700 use it daily..."
