2 Executive Summary Business Problem: – cineSHARE, ACORN and EAGL are critical components of major digital media workflows supporting various SPE business operations – cineSHARE, ACORN and EAGL are 9, 8 and 7 years old, respectively, and in the fast-changing digital media technology landscape, these applications are inadequate in functionality to meet customer demand – Each application has amassed significant technical debt impacting system reliability as well as the ability to be responsive to new enhancement requests  The last major EAGL release took 3.5 months in the QA phase. Significant manual regression testing and the corresponding bug fixes as well as a challenging code base were contributing factors.  Last year DMG teams spent more time fixing bugs and addressing production issues versus time spent on new development of features – An increasing number of workflows are unpredictable or have large spikes of utilization that exhaust DMG’s resources – Additionally, with three separate applications and repositories, DMG often replicates assets across systems to support multiple workflows,which increases infrastructure costs and maintenance overhead. 2

3 Proposed Solution The Runner project will build a new digital media platform and several web applications (user experiences) to replace cineSHARE+, ACORN, and EAGL. Included in scope: – New platform and web applications to be hosted on AWS – Migration of DMG-integrated systems such as SPT B2B, SPHE Connect, and Worldwide Theatrical Publicity Sites – IDM integration for central authentication – GPMS integration for product master data – Migration of Screening Room Online – Storage management and file transfer services provided by MCS – Migration of assets and metadata to AWS 3

5 Category$ BenefitDescription Cost Avoidance $6,431,873 5 Year Benefits Avoidance in the duplication of assets due to multiple repositories/systems (Yearly, increases by 25% YoY) FY14 IT Infrastructure Refresh (Servers, Storage, Tape Library), One time Reduction in Contract Developers (2) - cineSHARE+ (TCS Fixed Bid), Yearly Reduction in Contract Developers (2) - EAGL, Yearly Cost Efficiencies $580,842 System Administration (1) Intangible Benefits N/A Reduced future maintenance costs: 50%+ of DMG application labor spent addressing issues External cost avoidance - improves customer satisfaction and lessens incentives for LOBs to use less secure third-party systems Better Performance/Reliability - fewer rush charges, missed deadlines due to slow and/or limited capacity in ingest/export By increasing the efficiency of development on the new platform, fiscal benefits to SPE associated with future DMG efforts will be realized sooner/with less effort/cost Improved Logging for Audit Tracking and Security DMG storage requirements have been growing at ~25% YoY, consistently for the past several years. Delaying the migration would increase the costs for the current 2 PB migration by approx 25% each year. 5 Benefits

6 Competitive Analysis WB and FOX have packaged based software solutions that have been significantly customized/enhanced to meet business needs – WB leverages North Plains Systems, though most customization is done around the platform – FOX Leverages Artesia, though heavily customized creating upgrade challenges Disney Studio has a custom solution that was developed and has been upgraded over time Paramount recently developed a new solution for asset management 6
