WGBH has connected all its edit suites and mixing rooms—including 45 Avid Media Composer® suites and five Avid Pro Tools® 5.1 surround sound mixing rooms—with the Avid Storage Suite's Avid ISIS® | 7500 shared storage system.

The new workflow will also become the backbone of a more streamlined process for local news production.
The next phase of the rollout will see WGBH implement the Avid Media Suite's Interplay® | Production asset management system, enabling creative teams to use metadata to more effectively find and leverage content. In the final stage, WGBH plans to roll out Avid MediaCentral | UX, the cloud-based web front end to the MediaCentral Platform, and the Avid Artist Suite's Media Composer | Cloud for efficient remote collaboration.
"Media organizations like WGBH are under intense pressure to boost productivity and efficiency, and to extend their brand across multiple screens," said
