30.06.2009 The new multilingual BCM (3.Quartal)

In response to inquiries from all over the world the Broadcast Manager will be made multilingual. The first further language version will be in English. In the future, with the used technology it will be possible to implement any further languages almost without participation of our BCM-developers. This can be realised by the customers themselves or you can order a translation from us. With the comfortable translation-Tool you can practically translate all existing texts (for example dialogs, message boxes etc.) used in the Broadcast Manager. The new version will be realised through so-called Satellite Assemblies in Microsoft .Net. (sf)

07.01.2009 New BCM Sales module available!

The new BCM Sales module is available now! It is a perfect addition for the sales section with an intuitive solution to create and administrate offers, order confirmations, invoices and credits. BCM Sales uses the same master data like the BCM planning-tool. Therefore, the inconvenient import- and export tasks are no longer necessary. In BCM Sales the familiar BCM user-interface was further developed. We are planning more further simplifications concerning a comfortable handling in daily business of TV- und film - production firms. For example, a time-saving workflow from the first offer until the finished call sheet. However, it should be remembered that changes are always possible at any time. Wishes and suggestions from our sales representatives within the TV- and film-industry were incorporated in the development of BCM. (sf)
