WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.750 --> 00:00:01.987 SportCenter, stand by. 00:00:01.987 --> 00:00:03.053 Stand by. 00:00:03.703 --> 00:00:07.813 SportsCenter live, 3, 2, 1. You’re live. 00:00:14.251 --> 00:00:17.704 I think ESPN is driven by sports enthusiasts. 00:00:17.704 --> 00:00:19.686 For every live event, who’s the presenter? 00:00:19.686 --> 00:00:21.633 Who's the analyst? Who's the commentator? 00:00:21.633 --> 00:00:26.601 Live sports is happening 24-7, every hour, every minute of every day. 00:00:26.601 --> 00:00:31.406 And there's nothing to compare to live television where not every week is the same. 00:00:31.406 --> 00:00:35.543 We have ESPN channels in the Netherlands, in Africa and China. 00:00:35.543 --> 00:00:38.013 Trying to get all the information together, 00:00:38.013 --> 00:00:42.125 and, in the end, making the inbound transmission possible with our partners. 00:00:42.125 --> 00:00:44.312 Well, that's the real challenge, to get it 00:00:44.312 --> 00:00:46.515 and running when the game is. 00:00:46.515 --> 00:00:49.549 A couple of years back, we did everything in Excel. 00:00:49.549 --> 00:00:53.762 There was a big possibility that you’d make a mistake 00:00:53.762 --> 00:00:57.322 or that you forgot something and did not communicate 00:00:57.322 --> 00:00:59.476 in a good manner with your director. 00:00:59.476 --> 00:01:02.812 And that's because it didn't go automatically. 00:01:02.812 --> 00:01:04.689 So you cannot undo it. 00:01:04.689 --> 00:01:08.234 So those kinds of things were really killing us sometimes. 00:01:08.234 --> 00:01:12.719 And in the end, when you grow, then that won't work anymore. 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:13.842 That's impossible. 00:01:18.578 --> 00:01:23.708 Well, the idea for FileMaker, Claris FileMaker, came from the playouts 00:01:23.708 --> 00:01:27.572 because they needed a system really bad to work with 00:01:27.572 --> 00:01:29.672 our production partner over here in the studios. 00:01:29.672 --> 00:01:33.551 And now with Claris, everything is within one system. 00:01:33.551 --> 00:01:36.875 Everything speaks with each other, and it makes my life 00:01:36.875 --> 00:01:37.914 a lot easier. 00:01:40.940 --> 00:01:45.105 Kempen Automatisering is a custom software development party. 00:01:45.105 --> 00:01:48.889 Hosting, integrations, web portals, websites. 00:01:48.889 --> 00:01:52.469 ESPN was having a lot of trouble with data, 00:01:52.469 --> 00:01:54.823 scattered data around the company. 00:01:54.823 --> 00:01:59.773 So they needed, really, a centralized database for accessing 00:01:59.773 --> 00:02:02.212 so everybody had the same data. 00:02:02.212 --> 00:02:05.375 So we made a nice-looking timeline, 00:02:05.375 --> 00:02:08.294 a graphical interface where they can see the free spots. 00:02:08.294 --> 00:02:10.421 We have the event scheduler up front. 00:02:10.421 --> 00:02:12.976 We have a piece working where we plan 00:02:12.976 --> 00:02:16.970 our talents and directors and communicate with them. 00:02:16.970 --> 00:02:19.514 On the other hand, we ‘re doing all our transmissions 00:02:19.514 --> 00:02:22.976 and connections and events, additional stuff, it’s in there. 00:02:22.976 --> 00:02:25.478 There’s daily info. There’s a document archive. 00:02:25.478 --> 00:02:29.355 Our operators’ and directors’ planning is in there. 00:02:29.355 --> 00:02:32.110 Well, for me it's very easy. I have it on my phone 00:02:32.110 --> 00:02:34.504 and it's very quick for me because I like when it's quick 00:02:34.504 --> 00:02:35.947 because I'm always in a hurry. 00:02:35.947 --> 00:02:38.379 And then I just see where I have to be, what time I have to be there, 00:02:38.379 --> 00:02:43.795 who I'm working with, and hopefully not too many surprises. 00:02:43.795 --> 00:02:48.685 We integrated the system with NEP broadcasting firm here, so 00:02:48.685 --> 00:02:51.260 everything's working smooth. Yeah. 00:02:51.260 --> 00:02:53.584 So I'm really happy when I see 00:02:53.584 --> 00:02:56.092 a screen without any colors because that means 00:02:56.092 --> 00:02:57.552 we have our planning up to date. 00:02:57.552 --> 00:03:00.513 Everything is fine, no question marks. 00:03:00.513 --> 00:03:02.144 If you have a challenging planning 00:03:02.144 --> 00:03:04.673 with all kinds of live events, with all kinds of durations, 00:03:04.673 --> 00:03:08.783 with all kinds of people involved, then this would really work. 00:03:09.606 --> 00:03:11.337 Saves you time. Saves you money. 00:03:11.337 --> 00:03:12.661 Claris works for us 00:03:12.661 --> 00:03:15.933 the same way we try to work for our viewers and our fans. 00:03:15.933 --> 00:03:20.280 Our motto is “For the fans. Everywhere. Every time.” 00:03:20.654 --> 00:03:23.642 That's basically what Claris does for us 00:03:23.642 --> 00:03:26.103 to make that work for our fans.
