• Company selects arvato Systems' integrated broadcast management solution

Cologne/Gütersloh/Toronto -- arvato Systems, a global IT leader offering integrated software solutions for broadcast management and media asset management, today announced it has been selected by Rogers Media to provide a powerful broadcast management solution. Joining the list of arvato Systems' customers in North America, the company is integrating its rights management, program scheduling and advertising sales processes with arvato Systems' product suite.

arvato Systems' powerful broadcast management solution enables broadcast and media companies to integrate rights management, program scheduling, and advertising sales in one IT solution. The professional tools improve the end-to-end workflow and enable departments to work together more effectively, so that they can better serve their clients and take advantage of new opportunities in the changing media landscape.

The decision to use the arvato Systems solutions was made in 2011 after a rigorous and comprehensive evaluation process, which included almost 2,000 individual requirements. Last year, The Biography Channel, FX Canada, OLN and G4 transitioned to the arvato Systems products S4Rights, S4Schedule, and S4AdSales. Further to the successful transition of these specialty channels, Rogers will be rolling out the arvato Systems solutions to OMNI Television, Sportsnet and City in 2013.

"We are delighted that Rogers selected our integrated broadcast management solution," said Christian Schneider, VP Corporate Sales at arvato Systems S4M. "The benefits offered by our product suite will bring them renewed success and new business opportunities."
