Encompass selects Ideal Systems ‘Alice’ to power playlist automation in Altitude Media Cloud
posted:
Encompass selected Alice to unify schedule and playlist orchestration workflows for both on-premise playout solutions as well as services from its newly launched Altitude Media Cloud. Alice centralizes schedule processing and enrichment from multiple traffic systems, enabling the replacement of hard-coded schedule translators. Alice also provides a self-service operations framework using Alice-Beehive BPMN orchestration module and Alice-Absolem’s module as a universal playlist editor, making it easy to manage.

“The flexibility of the Alice Cloud Platform has been a big win for us,” states Jim Ewaskiew CIO of Encompass. “It not only provides an elegant experience for our globally distributed playout and operations teams but also significantly reduces the time and complexity of onboarding new services.”
Alice is the world’s first reactive cloud framework where we extended the BPM specification to offer decoupled event driven orchestration, allowing Alice to integrate and orchestrate any broadcast system and operations process,” explains James Taylor, head of Ideal’s Cloud Division, “Encompass’ Altitude Media Cloud is the perfect platform to bring Alice to market, enabling us to deploy a solution at scale for the most complex and demanding workflows the world has to offer.”
