Summary

Vowos Toybox is a comprehensive multi-resource work order and inventory management solution available to Broadcasters, Studios, Media Companies, and other High-tech enterprises. It provides a common platform for planning and carrying out hi-tech projects, production processes, and administrative tasks. The system is a client-server solution based on the Microsoft Server Platform and Vowos’ application server. Toybox is usually integrated with Accounting, HR, and Business Intelligence Systems. It allows for effective allocation, management and planning of resources.

Our software is designed for a 24- hour, high-pressure, highly dynamic business that involves many differ- ent internal and external resources. Whether you are a broadcaster, a rental facility, busy production or postproduction house, the primary challenge is getting the right person and the right equipment to the right place at the right time. Accomplish- ing this successfully on a daily basis requires extensive and accurate plan- ning. This level of accurate project planning and execution relies on asset-aware infrastructure delivered by toybox’s inventory management module. Increased asset availability and reliability provide a basis for improving service delivery from the same asset base.

Asset availability and reliability improves delivery and increases revenue from the same asset base

Inventory life cycle management

Building a smart yet cost-effective infrastructure has an impact on oper- ational costs. Effectively planning inventory and support services reduces equipment and facilities investment. This is where our inventory explorer module is irreplaceable. It manages the entire lifecycle of an asset:

- - planning and assessment
  - budgeting and financing
  - technology assessment and selection
  - procurement and logistics
  - installation and commissioning
  - operation and maintenance
  - decommissioning and disposal

Among the key benefits of asset lifecycle management are: better purchase forecasts, informed purchasing decisions, improved quality of services, knowing the total cost of owning an asset.

Additionally, toybox provides direct integration of the inventory explorer with Zabbix – the ultimate real-time monitoring of the availability and performance of IT and Broadcast hardware. With Zabbix it is possible to gather virtually limitless types of data from the network. High perfor- mance real-time monitoring means that tens of thousands of servers, professional equipment and network devices can be monitored simultane- ously. Zabbix supports all modern operating systems, as well as SNMP and IPMI devices.

When agile turns maverick

Project management in media environments

Toybox has been designed with particular attention to the needs of the media industry. Planning and executing projects in this sector requires the cooperation of specialized personnel and is accompanied by a need to process large amounts of technical information. In addition, the nature of media projects is their variety.
The success of this project depends on the coordinated work of service providers, freelancers, engineers, technologists, and TV/film production specialists. Toybox is particularly skilled at smoothly integrating the flow of information in these projects.

Vowos’ planning & optimization software provides the solution to the complex broadcast-media planning puzzle. It is configured to respect all of your organization’s unique constraints, resource availability, and capabilities, and empowers you to create long-term and short-term plans that respect your key performance indicators. Vowos gives you the tools and the feedback you need to plan according to your targets.
