<h5>For some time, rbb had been using a solution that enabled mobile journalists (MoJo) to upload their shot iPhone video footage to the central production system for moving images (VPMS) using a web-based interface. However, uploading was only possible within the rbb premises. As a result, the approximately 90 mobile journalists often had to make extra trips to the sites and lose time on current topics. Against the background of an increasing number of MoJos, this solution was no longer sufficient.</h5><h5><br />Consequently, the next step was to enable location-independent uploading. Journalists could then make their material available to the editorial team directly from the shooting location, with only a minimal time delay.</h5><h5><br />sommer + spohr was commissioned with the project management and conception of this project.</h5><h5><br />For this purpose, the consulting firm designed a future-proof, cloud-based system architecture to extend the existing solution.<br />For the MoJos, an in-house web-based solution for iPhone and iPad was implemented, which does not differ in appearance and functionality from the in-house upload interface.</h5><h5>Netorium with their partners Hiscale and ministry of code implemented the new system.<br />The upload interface for capturing metadata was deliberately kept slim to allow quick input.</h5><h5><br />In addition, a possibility was created to make the original files available in a separate central storage for further use. This means that the original resolution and thus the optimum quality is available when re-cutting to a different aspect ratio, for example.</h5><h5><br />The rbb has recently been using the new MoJo solution productively and successfully.<br />With the cloud-based system architecture, rbb now has the basics in place to take the next step and open up the solution to external consumers, who are already delivering daily with increasing tendency. Viewers can thus be better integrated and the increasingly important user-generated content finds its way more easily and securely into the media house.</h5>
<h5>Maximum reliability and availability, coupled with a high and consistent quality of system functionality - these are core requirements that broadcasters and content providers want to ensure in any case. This applies equally to the introduction, centralization or major update of systems, services or components.<br />We have observed in many companies that the test management required for this is project-specific and inconsistent. Valuable resources are wasted trying to solve the same tasks individually over and over again. The prerequisites for efficient regression testing are seldom met and, as a rule, rare experts instead of a multitude of testers have to check the quality. As a result, testing often becomes a critical bottleneck in a project and achieving the desired quality becomes a matter of luck. Insufficient productive stability and dissatisfied users are then the inevitable result.</h5><h5>In order to find out about the state of test management in our own company, we have developed a best practice test management model that serves as a benchmark for reviewing the respective procedure.</h5><h5>Based on this assessment, the customer itself examines the current state of test management in a first step. In this way, possible gaps in the procedure can be quickly recognized via a special dashboard and optimization potentials in the currently lived overall process can be identified.</h5><h5>The results of the assessment can be the first step towards a standardized test management. sommer + spohr is happy to support the change, which will ultimately lead to central know-how being built up and used in all projects. At the end of the day, the measures taken will reduce costs, free valuable personnel from ballast and ensure reliable operation.</h5> <img width="1024" height="697" src="https://www.consulting4media.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Assessment-Testmanagement-1024x697-1.jpeg" alt="" loading="lazy" />
