About Warner Bros.

 Warner Bros. Entertainment is a global leader in all forms of entertainment and their related businesses across all current and emerging media and platforms.

•  A Time Warner Company, the fully integrated, broad-based studio is home to one of the most successful collections of brands in the world and stands at the forefront of every aspect of the entertainment industry from feature film, television and home entertainment production and worldwide distribution to DVD and Blu-ray, digital distribution, animation, comic books, video games, product and brand licensing, and broadcasting.

 For each Customer (Client) we need to manage the available window of a Title and the Price to the Customer in that window

•  The distribution rights for a Title vary by Country, Language and Channel over time

•  Prices vary over time

•  We don’t dub or subtitle every language for every Title

•  The capabilities and presence of every Client varies by Country

Managing the Transactional Digital Business

§  Released in 170+ Countries

§  Available in High Definition and Standard Definition Formats §  4K UHD and 3D may also be available for some Titles

§  Available to own (EST) or rent (VOD, PPV and Hotel)

§  Client storefronts and capabilities vary by Country

§  …and TV products are even more complicated

Consider a Single Title…

Solution

 A custom Force.com application

 Highly flexible, cloud based solution with rapid application development tools

 Configurable to meet the needs of the business

 AppExchange tools (Configero Grid) enable large volume mass-maintenance

 Overall the most cost effective and timely solution

 Massive number of spreadsheets

 Limited coordination across countries

 Difficult for Clients to automatically ingest data

 Risk of inconsistent or incomplete data

 Single, centralized application for all Avails

 Coordinated approach to Avail management

 Standardized Client outputs (Announcements)

 Improved data validations and metadata sourced from MDM applications

Before and After

Leverage standard capabilities

As much a possible use the out-of-the-box features

Develop business processes and workflows

Understand how the application is going to be used

Get the data model right up-front

The data model determines the object model and relationships

Staff the project appropriately

Use a Solution Architect for complex areas

Research AppExchange

Investigate if there are any productivity tools available

Build for bulk update

Even if you think updates are going to be one at a time, build as if mass-updating
