Success Story – RTL

The challenge

RTL News faced significant challenges in managing their extensive image library. The growing volume of digital assets, coupled with the fast-paced nature of news broadcasting, demanded a solution that could streamline their workflows, improve accessibility, and enhance collaboration among teams.

Implementation

The implementation of WoodWing Assets at RTL News was strategically planned to minimize disruption and ensure a smooth transition from their previous system. The process involved migrating massive volumes of digital assets into the new system, setting up structured categories, and training staff to leverage the full potential of WoodWing Assets. Key to this phase was the customization of the platform to fit RTL News' specific workflow requirements, enabling efficient asset management and distribution across their multimedia channels.
