System Overview

Nuxeo is a media asset management tool designed to replace MAM. The main goals for this tool are to:

  • Improve findability of assets.
  • Provide global accessibility.
  • Increase production automation.
  • Provide greater asset security and traceability.
  • Stop digital hoarding on separate hard drives.

Nuxeo Platform

Nuxeo is designed to import, track, and provide assets through all stages of production. It is cloud-based and will be available globally. With Nuxeo, we can:

  • Ingest and store assets.
  • Organize and relate assets.
  • Secure and protect assets.
  • Manage copyright usage and restrictions, per asset.
  • View analytic reports, such as usage of an asset.
  • Find and preview assets.
  • Gradually enrich asset metadata.
  • Manage asset processes.
  • Transform and publish assets.
  • Manage change and retention.

Connections

Nuxeo is able to connect to other tools to speed up production processes. This includes workspace servers wherever they are located around the world, inputting files from stock services (Adobe Stock), project management (Workfront), product management (IBM Case Manager), rights management (RMS), distribution (Brightspace or Brightcove), views (TITAN), and archiving (Black Pearl or Church archives).

  • Content creators
  • Production teams
  • Publishing teams
  • General workforce
  • Global production staff and volunteers
  • Vendors

Development Plans

The Nuxeo platform is being customized to fit the Church’s publication process. A team, lead by the Asset Management Product Manager (LeGrand Hunsaker), is working with Nuxeo developers to set requirements and customize the experience for PSD employees. The development plan is as follows:

  • Develop a minimal viable product by the end of Q3 2019. This Phase One includes:
    • Defining all product deliverables and relationships to approved products, IP contracts, and production projects.
    • Adding and enriching metadata for all global visual style guide (GVL), stock (Adobe Stock) and Book of Mormon (BMVL) assets.
    • Simplifying bulk ingest and cataloging to facilitate quick findability.
    • Setting up Nuxeo registered storage locations.
    • Adding the ability to ingest, enrich metadata, and work with project source files and working project bundles.
  • Start meeting with various teams to review workflows and make refinements to the system. Core functionality is planned to be complete in 2020. Phase Two includes:
    • Facilitating vendor access, including transfer and delivery.
    • Automating transform and transcode processes.
    • Managing archiving with Church History Archives.
    • Managing active project workspace, nearline storage, and archival storage.
    • Integrate with channel publishing, such as Brightspot.
    • Track and report asset lifecycle and asset status.
  • Start migrating assets from MAM iwith the goal to replace Interplay MAM.
