Many corporations are leveraging multiple platforms to manage rich-media content, such as online video platforms (OVP), content management systems (CMS), media asset management systems (MAM), learning management systems (LMS), automated broadcast servers, and storage systems.
Having all of these systems is a seven-figure investment and a necessity for major Fortune 1000 companies around the world.
Within corporations, gathering content from different offices around the world can also be a big challenge. Different departments and offices often use varying platforms that don’t sync with one another. Getting dozens of employees trained on different systems requires a lot of overhead cost, and the effort is often futile. Trying to maintain your workflow in these different systems and keeping metadata consistent becomes a large challenge. A lot of work is required to transfer rich-media content from one platform to another without losing important data such as custom metadata.
In the digital world, it is important to have seamless integration between all the varying media platforms. Any barrier to participation from your employees means you won’t be getting the most out of your investment.

Why Corporations Need To Care about Workflow Automation?
1. Provide Seamless Integration

Now brands can focus on using one platform that allows them to connect all of their systems together. Staff can focus on their work and become more productive instead of keeping up with ever-changing platforms.
3. Save Money
Time is money. By saving a large amount of time, companies will save money by automating their rich-media workflow.
4. Reduce Training
With one simple form you are able to get many users out of your platform backend systems. Let your superusers handle the systems while your employees provide the content. Very little training is required to use workflow automation, and it enables the organization to maintain a level of control over the content.
5. Leverage Real-Time Opportunity
In the digital world, everything moves at a very fast pace. If brands waste time managing their content, they might miss priceless opportunities to leverage real-time marketing.
