Project Scope
Sagafilm invested in VYRE to consolidate the management of content and sites in a single environment; to enhance communication and to improve the management of their rich media assets.
"VYRE has really helped us communicate better with our clients through our extranet; thanks to VYRE every Sagafilm client can now view all their commercials online. From the Extranet clients will be able to order streaming versions of their clips, automatically send the clips directly to the TV stations and create work orders."

The next stage is to build a unique video library. This is made possible by utilising the power of Unify's integrated digital asset processing server and by converting video to the native video server format of the TV stations to provide delivery of full resolution video files through fiber network in Iceland.
