The Media Center Overall Story Over the last 10 years, we have grown organically effectively And individual territories have been cleaver and innovative as technology and our business has evolved This has led us to our current circumstances in which our skill and timing provides us a great opportunity to in-source content processing and save the company money, leverage our capabilities and provide SPT more control of our own destiny To take advantage of this opportunity, we have developed a well thought out RFP that specifies the digital media infrastructure required to achieve that goal However, we see that a solution such as this tends to open new automation doors and workflow opportunities across the business Experience suggests that you can save money by planning for these opportunities upfront So the question is… what are the opportunities? And… what are the implications of those opportunities to our vendor selection, scope, schedule and budget of the project we want to Greenlight Which brings us here today - bringing an incredible amount of Sony Pictures skill, talent and experience to refine that scope and prepare ourselves for the journey ahead
