Velocity FAQs
We have multiple affiliate deals, across multiple platforms, to distribute content in an on-demand model. How can Velocity help manage this?
top 
Velocity provides a solution to help media companies manage their multi-platform, digital media businesses. This includes capability for both business management, as well as operational and technical production. Velocity helps enable organizations manage workflow by:
• systematically establishing and enforcing contracts and rights against each unique syndication deal
• managing metadata and physical inventory
• planning and scheduling to optimize for each outlet/platform
• automating preparation & packaging of content
• distributing content to the growing number of end user outlets and devices
• reporting and tracking on performance of assets and distribution outlets/platforms
Multiple departments are involved and responsible for the management of the distribution deals. Can Velocity support this?
top
Velocity is purpose-built to support multiple user workflows, across multiple departments. Velocity contains out of the box functionality to support the following types of groups across a media organization:
• New Media
• Programming
• Operations
• Business Development
• Marketing
Multiple distribution deals mean multiple metadata and encoding formats. We can’t afford to scale up our staff to manage this with each new distribution deal in place.

Managing multiple distribution deals can be a very manual process, which in turn, makes it extremely error prone. Velocity takes care of the technical aspects of sending out content for distribution so media organizations can return to worry about what matters most – the content.
We are experiencing increased expenses using an outsourced solution/service to manage our content distribution.

Fees for outsourcing content distribution can quickly become unmanageable. Velocity is used by many of our customers to bring in house the preparation and packaging of their content in a more cost-effective manner. This allows media organizations to increase their content distribution, without the cost of distribution scaling every step of the way.
Metadata specifications change all the time. How does Velocity stay up-to-date?
