  • BBC WORLD SERVICE and IBM ANNOUNCE NEW CONTRACT to MODERNISE BBC WORLD SERVICE PROGRAMME PRODUCTION Submitted By: Pleon Tuesday, 31 July 2001
    BBC WORLD SERVICE AND IBM ANNOUNCE NEW CONTRACT TO MODERNISE BBC WORLD SERVICE PROGRAMME PRODUCTION Submitted by: Pleon Tuesday, 31 July 2001 - BBC Technology to provide consultancy and support to the project - BBC World Service and IBM today announced that IBM has been chosen to design and implement a new digital production system at the BBC World Service's headquarters in London. The new system will transform radio production processes, improving creativity, productivity and efficiency, by giving producers digital access to source material. The value of the deal was not disclosed. The IBM solution -- based on RadioMan broadcast content management software from Finnish Jutel -- will be implemented over the next two years. It will improve broadcast quality and transform production processes for the World Service's 42 language sections. BBC Technology Ltd. is providing business planning, project management and technical consultancy to implement the end-to-end solution for World Service. This implementation involves a significant element of process change for World Service, delivered in partnership with BBC Technology Ltd and BBC Resources, who will both provide ongoing system support. IBM was selected by the BBC World Service after expressions of interest from 35 suppliers and extensive evaluation of five shortlisted tenderers and was chosen on the basis of total service proposition, risk and cost. The breadth and depth of IBM's expertise in broadcast media solutions combined with the functionality provided by Jutel's RadioMan software was a significant factor in IBM's selection for this contractAt present the language service programmes of the BBC World Service are edited by splicing tapes by hand -- those that are to be broadcast must be transported to the studio, loaded onto a machine and cued for playback.
