ScheduALL and Marquis named as H-Class(TM) Alliance Program members
CINCINNATI, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Building on the open,
service-oriented architecture of the H-Class(TM) Content Delivery
Platform, Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) today announced the launch
of its H-Class(TM) Alliance Program, an offering that makes it
possible for service, software, content and hardware providers to
integrate with the H-Class Platform, enabling their solutions to
benefit from the platform's content delivery capabilities. The
H-Class Alliance Program benefits media and entertainment customers
by facilitating a greater return on content transactions via the
consistent management of workflows across departments within the
customer's organization. Beginning this month, technology suppliers
of the media and entertainment market can participate in the tiered
H-Class Alliance Program. Harris today announced that ScheduALL and
Marquis are the newest program members. "Harris' aim for the
H-Class Alliance Program is to lower development overhead for
increased functionality," said Taras Bugir, chief strategy officer
of Harris Broadcast Communications Division's Software Systems
business unit. "The H-Class Alliance Program eliminates the island
effect of 'best of breed' siloed applications and provides a more
collaborative approach to workflow. As such, we've created an
ecosystem that supports ever-changing business models and
associated workflows." ScheduALL and Marquis Broadcast are
introduced as H-Class compliant members, indicating that their
applications take partial advantage of the platform's data model
and underlying services such as security, database abstraction,
auditing and more. By writing to H-Class framework APIs, members
achieve third-party interoperability via custom components that use
the common H-Class enterprise workflow methodology. ScheduALL's
front-line resource management and back office accounting
interconnectivity solutions integrate with Harris' H-Class(TM)
Intelligent Transport application for content management workflow
capabilities. ScheduALL's centralized database manages broadcast
production resources - such as personnel, facilities, equipment,
library/vault assets and broadcast transmissions - and enables
detailed cost control and reporting capabilities. ScheduALL's
automated communications tools and web service interfaces
facilitate wide area workgroup collaboration. ScheduALL's
solutions, paired with the functionality inherent in the H-Class
Platform, enable users to manage and unite isolated islands of
information, access real-time information, and communicate across
different functional disciplines within the broadcast environment.
"We are confident that our relationship with Harris will create new
levels of efficiencies for our broadcast clients," said Rick Legow,
president of ScheduALL. "Integration, along with automation, are
critical components in the new business model for media and
entertainment. Combining ScheduALL's leading resource management
software with Harris' extensive content management and distribution
technology creates a true end-to-end solution for broadcasters."
Marquis' new media exchange software, Medway, interfaces with the
Harris H-Class Platform, allowing operators to browse an asset
management system, locate, and move a particular clip between
disparate editing systems and servers, including those from Avid,
Omneon, Leitch, SeaChange and Sony. "By forming close ties with
industry leaders such as Harris, we can combine our technologies
and understanding of broadcasters' requirements and ensure these
are reflected in the Marquis media exchange and software
integration solutions for the benefit of our customers," said
Granby Patrick, managing director of Marquis Broadcast. "Our
relationship with Harris also will help us make our software
available to a wider market." About the H-Class(TM) Content
