Cloud Native Media Integration Platform
Self-sufficient & Agile Media Operations
smartWork
smartWork is Tedial´s next-generation Media Integration Platform which takes self-sufficiency to a new level. A unique NoCode approach transforms users into “citizen developers” – who can quickly and efficiently produce new workflows, products and services.
smartWork puts you in control! – ensuring your business has the Agility to stay ahead of the competition and take advantage of every revenue opportunity.
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.

Frequent Questions & Answers
“NoCode” is a type of software development that allows anyone to create digital applications without writing a single line of code. It involves using tools with an intuitive, drag-&-drop interface to create a unique solution to a problem. smartWork is termed as a NoCode Media Integration Platform because workflows can be designed and implemented without any software coding.
Gartner state; “ Composable business means creating an organisation made from interchangeable building blocks”
From a technology perspective, Tedial supports this approach by focusing on modularity (through micro-services/micro-applications) to promote the 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.
With smartWork hybrid cloud support you can choose to adapt your operations incrementally – with continued use or repurpose of existing assets & infrastructure. Hybrid cloud also give much more flexibility in where you place your operations and resources – taking into account considerations of the specific workflow, costs & business continuity.
smartWork has multi-cloud support. It has already been deployed and tested in multiple clouds, including AWS, Google & Microsoft.
smartWork is integrated with many third-party services in addition to our own MAM system (Evolution). Other options existing for common content processing/handling activities which include transcoding, auto QC, file-transfers, scheduling, NRCS, storage, archive & AI tools. More services are been added to bring more choice and capabilities to platform users.
smartWork is a media workflow & services integration platform. Certain workflows orchestrated by smartWork may require the capability that a MAM system offers. Therefore, for the widest possible support – smartWork does include integration and licensing of its award winning Evolution MAM system
How can I ensure business continuity as we transition from our current systems to smartWork?
With smartWork as your new media integration platform, you can plan to minimise and even avoid disruption to your operations. This is because existing systems and services (on-premise or cloud) can be easily “connected” or newly integrated into smartWork.
In addition, transfer of content and data can be supported by application of the content migration smartPackage. This could happen during the initial transition to smartWork or later – for example, when introducing a new media management service
Yes, Tedial provide a fully supported development program for all its software products – including smartWork. Full details of our development program and accreditation levels are given here
