Approval

A Streamlined Digital Media Review and Approval Process

To take advantage of content from multiple sources such as user generated content (UGC), outside feeds, and all other media, you need the ability for real-time content review. Ideally, a pre-set list of reviewers expedites viewing, editing, and commenting for usage recommendations to quickly get digital media in front of target audiences. Approval clears the way.

Entriq’s Approval product significantly expedites and eases your content approval flow — ultimately reducing your overhead and production costs. With pre-defined rules in place based on your unique production needs, Approval streamlines your review process from individuals or groups throughout your approval chain.

And, by using Approval, physical distribution of tapes and other media formats is eliminated, thus saving time and resources.

Features

• Allows multiple users to simultaneously apply comments relating to online, offline, or archived content
• Removes the need to create multiple dub copies of video content for simple viewing by production, management, legal, and other personnel in the approval chain
• Adapts to your needs with either flat or defined hierarchical approvals
• Works with existing workflows to supplement media processing with reviewing capabilities
• Provides an efficient system to review new material (e.g. UGC content), and decide which should be available to which target audiences
• Promotes additional business by allowing approvals of new material per syndication policy to be done in real-time
• Ensures timely review via time-out triggers should any r eviewer exceed their allocated time
