SES WORLD SKIES,  has joined ScheduALL’s Enterprise Resource Management Application (ERMa) community to serve its customers with connected, real-time visibility and the self provisioning of feeds. 

 

SES WORLD SKIES has been using ScheduALL’s ScheduLINK product for years to manage more than 25 satellites and optimize its global Occasional-Use business in serving breaking news, sports, data and government and special events. ERMa extends this capability to allow customers to use their existing core ScheduALL system or any major Web browser, via AVvANow.com, to subscribe to SES services, view availability and book feeds in real time. This allows customers to reduce double entry or manage multiple systems to book services as well as receive up-to-the-minute data on availability and pricing.

 

“Real time system-to-system collaboration is something the industry has been talking about for over a decade,” said Samantha McCloskey, VP Global Occasional Use Services & Special Events, SES WORLD SKIES. “ScheduALL’s ERMa functionality allows us to get closer to our customers and make bookings easier. We also see significant value in the AVvA community so non-ScheduALL users like small truck operators too can make bookings in real time. With ERMa, we are able to leverage ScheduALL to expand our platform and client reach as well as better serve our existing trusted broadcast and teleport partners.”

 

While ScheduLINK allows SES to parcel and configure bandwidth of its antennas and satellites, ERMa accelerates service delivery and provides customers control over their own bookings. ERMa allows SES to publish its resources to other ScheduALL systems as well as in the AVvA marketplace for immediate subscribing and consumption anywhere in the world at AVvANow.com.

 

"We are making positive strides every day to better meet the needs of our satellite and broadcast customers," said Joel Ledlow, CEO, ScheduALL. "SES has always been an industry leader and continues to set the pace for what we see as best practices for the industry at large. Businesses must find faster and more accurate ways of collaborating and our ERMa / AVvA technologies are uniquely positioned to serve these needs. It is truly an exciting time."
