Media Workflow & Services Integration
Self-sufficient & Agile Media Operations
smartWork
smartWork is Tedial´s next-generation Media Integration Platform.
A unique NoCode approach empowers smartWork users to be entirely self-sufficient! It creates “citizen developers” who can quickly and efficiently produce new workflows, products and services.
With smartWork you will be faster to market, ahead of the competition and positioned to take advantage of every revenue opportunity. Whether you are a content services provider or running your own media supply chain, smartWork puts you in control!
Compose
Easy prototyping & creation of environment to support your business use case.
Fast-track to revenue generation with pre-packaged business capabilities
Supply
Fully automated workflows, process execution and resource allocation to guarantee delivery of your digital products and services
Monitor
Stay in control of costs, quality and delivery!
Full visibility of operations through a powerful business intelligence (BI) layer, reports and notifications
Adapt
Meet changing demands with NoCode tools - enabling self-sufficient and continuous improvement of workflows
The challenges
The arrival of Cloud-native and microservices based application development has brought new flexibility and efficiencies to media organisations . It solves many of the issues which negatively impact business performance, including:
- Overly-complex and inflexible system architectures
- Point-to-point connections with multiple points of failure
- Costly media movements across systems, storages and networks
- Numerous communication protocols between services and applications
- Pain of implementation – project scoping, timeline and costly professional services
- Dependency on technical skills for even small workflow and platform adaptions
- Technical skills needed
- Requirement for specialist support services, disruptive upgrades
- Commercial inflexibility and lack of transparency
- Vendor lock-in
smartWork was developed not just to address these issues but also to bring the concepts of self-sufficiency to a new level. smartWork is the realisation of a vision to better align business and technology by promoting four key principles – Modularity, NoCode Design, Business Composability and Packaged Business Capabilities
To do this Tedial focus on modularity (through micro-services/micro-applications) to promote re-use, re-purpose and adaption – of existing applications and services
Import of a smartPack will load all the use-case foundations including workflows, interfaces and dashboards. It will also flag if any dependencies are missing (i.e., integrated services). Once any missing items are remedied then the workflows can be validated & executed.

By combining modularity, no-code & composability in the design of applications & services, we can raise the level of abstraction & create packaged business capabilities (PBCs)

(1) With smartWork hybrid cloud support you can choose to adapt your operations incrementally – with continued use or repurpose of existing assets & infrastructure.
(2) Tedial offer a migration “smartPack” to facilitate movement of content/data between systems.
(3) If you don’t wish to self-host the software, you can quickly access smartWork capabilities via a service provider.
(4) smartWork tools are designed to be highly intuitive which means users will up & running in no time!

Cloud Native Media Integration Platform
NoCode Media Integration Platform
smartWork
smartWork is Tedial’s next generation Media Integration Platform. smartWork is the result of more than 20 years of experience designing and implementing workflows and integrations for the M&E industry, that takes a different approach to other integration solutions by a common interface, a common data model, and a media abstraction layer.
smartWork is natively built with microservices and kubernetes to provide future-proofing and scalability, both of media operations and resources. Thanks to the no-code approach, complexity abstraction and visual tools which are built into the platform, users without coding or deep technical knowledge (citizen developers) can easily build and manage workflows. This leads to greater self-sufficiency with cost saving, as well as time to market benefits for the organization.
