The project seeks to overhaul this process by incorporating some ad sales activities into the overall supply chain framework. The overarching goal is to improve workflows and prevent isolated systems to enhance efficiency. Replacement of Existing Rights Management Tool with a Hybrid Solution (Vendor-Built Mix): The primary objective of this project is to replace the existing rights management tool with a newly provided solution which is a mix of vendor and in house.

This transition aims to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility in managing content distribution while ensuring seamless compliance with licensing agreements.
