Tedial has announced that its smartWork integration platform will be at NAB 2023 with a suite of Package Business Capabilities (PBCs). The development is intended to bring broadcasters to the cloud faster. The first version was released at NAB 2022, and this year the company will showcase an enhanced version of smartWork in Booth W3959.

The new version has a set of PBC modules capable of streamlining the processes of different business units such as news, content delivery, post-production, archiving and even IMF.

PBCs are reusable software components. In the M&E industry, PBCs represent stand-alone units that solve a specific problem: localization, content delivery, post-production, etc. PBCs operate without external dependencies or the need for direct external access to data. To interact with the rest of the company’s systems and services, each PBC offers a data schema, an API, an event notification system and a set of services.

The modularity of the PBCs combined with smartWork’s codeless technology – which allows applications to be created without prior knowledge of traditional programming – enhances composability.

Julián Fernández-Campón, Tedial CTO: “After the successful launch of smartWork in 2022, we are delighted to be back at NAB with an enhanced and expanded version of the platform featuring smartPackages, a set of PBC modules that reflect our roots in IT. This is the first and only solution capable of moving the world of PBCs into M&E with tools that tie directly to the business team’s needs by simplifying the creation and deployment of best-of-breed solutions.”
