Challenges
Before implementing OOONA’s solutions, HOT faced several critical challenges:- Manual Processes: HOT’s team relied heavily on manual tracking and updates via Excel and email. This method was not only time-consuming but also prone to human error across their vast VOD catalog.
- Error Management: Identifying and prioritizing errors was a significant hurdle as well. Critical errors, such as incorrect pricing or asset metadata, could lead to customer dissatisfaction and potential revenue loss if not addressed promptly.
- Scalability Issues: With an ever-expanding catalog, HOT’s legacy system was not scalable. Managing over tens of thousands of assets and making hundreds of daily updates required a more efficient and scalable solution.
OOONA’s QA Manager Solution
HOT chose OOONA’s QA Manager to address these challenges based on OOONA’s industry leading reputation for media and localization tools. The capability of OOONA’s QA Manager to automate and scale traditional, labor-intensive and time-consuming QA workflows was an opportunity to create something truly scalable for HOT.Implementation
The implementation of OOONA’s QA Manager at HOT involved integrating the system with HOT’s existing CMS to ensure seamless data synchronization and maintain data integrity. The system was customized to automate workflows for error handling and updates, meeting HOT’s specific operational needs. Comprehensive training was provided to familiarize the staff with the new system, along with ongoing support from OOONA.
