| The International Emmys cater to television programmes
produced outside of the United States. SAVVIS this time will save
the Academy time and money by digitizing the International Emmy Award
nominated programmes and offering the judges a secure, online screening
process via SAVVIS' secure, high performance global IP network. This
will result in the Academy not only saving time but also the cost
factor of producing and shipping hundreds of tapes in multiple formats
to locations around the world.
"Our industry-leading Internet-based screening process is
the future of the business. It integrates broadband transmissions
and network solutions to deliver a simultaneous, worldwide judging
system for the International Emmy competition," says International
Academy of Television Arts & Sciences president Bruce Paisner.
"Previously, the International Emmy judging process was costly
and time-consuming. Now SAVVIS' global media services have converged
the digitization and distribution of the nominated shows by allowing
us to benefit from SAVVIS' managed services and global IP network."
SAVVIS' strategic approach is based on the use of virtualization
technology, a utility services model, and automated software management
and provisioning systems. This allows SAVVIS to dynamically provision
and manages its customers' dedicated network, hosting, server, and
storage solutions from an IT resource pool offering improved performance
and flexibility at a lower total cost
SAVVIS' Global Rich Media Services vice president & general
manager Darcy Lorincz says "We can help companies manage every
step of the content lifecycle process - from creation to distribution,
from film and video, to images and audio in virtually any format
or bit-rate."
