Videohouse has chosen the platform VSNExplorer of VSN to media management and workflow automation to consolidate a global media and production management system that allows you to maximize the value of your content.

The Belgian audiovisual services company was looking for a platform for Media Asset Management (MAM) that could become the only repository to safely store and manage all of its clients' media content, while also allowing them to have simple, efficient and reliable access to all this content. After the Request for Proposals (RFP) phase, including on-site product demonstrations, various meetings and a Proof of Concept at Videohouse's own facilities, VSN demonstrated that the VSNExplorer platform was the most appropriate to respond to the company's needs.

An important requirement for the company was to have a single easily accessible interface and that could be used by various multidisciplinary user profiles. This system also needed to be interoperable to offer multiple concurrent accesses and/or have the possibility of adding more functionality in the future, as well as multi-tenant, that is, a single software instance was capable of serving multiple clients, thus guaranteeing cost savings.

VSNExplorer proved to be the solution aimed at broadcast work environments that best met all of Videohouse's requirements, offering a 100% web solution, with dedicated multi-tenant storage and all the necessary hardware.

It is capable of easily integrating with a wide range of third-party systems and is an open and scalable solution, so it allows us to be prepared to face any future challenges that arise within the industry. In addition, we also saw clearly that VSN is a company that shares our values ​​and with whom we can have an excellent working relationship."

Alvaro Montalban, EMEA Sales Manager at VSN, emphasizes that "VSNExplorer is a 100% web-based and fully customizable solution. It offers scalability and flexibility, allowing Videohouse to grow and prepare for the future in a simple and profitable way. We are looking forward to working with them for the coming years."
