Modern media companies must adapt to new consumption patterns by their audiences and can no longer count on only making content available through a single channel. This presentation will address how MTV Networks leveraged Day Software's CRX as a solution for unifying its disparate content management platforms and addressing the needs for being able to distribute the same content through multiple channels.

14. Challenges
• To scale multi-platform distribution business,
we need a uniform view of our content
• Due to evolution of online business, we ended
up with a multiplicity of online content
management systems
•3 different in-house systems plus several
more from acquisitions
• Evolution of different systems resulted in
different definitions for the same types
•For example, the metadata of a video for the
Entertainment group was different than that
for the Kids and Family group

15. New Repository Project
• Create a single repository that would be used
by all brand groups regardless of their
presentation tier technology
• Define a single, standard view on the data
model, but allow for extensions to the model
• Use a repository that is based on open
standards to avoid lock-in of proprietary
solutions
• Repository must be able to scale and grow with
the organization

16. CRX Selected As Solution

• Active development and support community
• Wanted a vendor who could back us up and
also understands how we like to develop
systems
• Needed repository that would be agnostic as to
the web publishing tier
• Allow for complex workflows and stage
publishing
• Capability to organize our data in a flexible
manner
