Wizard Information Services

Wizard Information Services is pleased to announce its new collection management solution SAAVII, based on ontology-driven information management and Web 2.0 technologies.

SAAVII represents a new concept in media asset management - one that reveals and leverages the rich web of knowledge surrounding each media asset. It is based on our years of experience in developing MAVIS, the collection management system of choice for the world’s leading audiovisual archives, and the technological paradigm shift in software architecture known as Web 2.0.

SAAVII’s features include:

• a rich Web Browser user interface that provides a productive, personally tailored user experience;
• an ontology based data model supporting multiple, standards-based metadata schemes and user-defined extensions;
• integrated management of physical and digital media assets across all formats;
• standards-based interfaces for capture and exchange of media assets and associated metadata;
• service-oriented architecture with pluggable components (client-built, Wizard-built or from 3 rd parties) for specialised functionality such as ingest, encoding and transcoding, automated media analysis and logging, playback, storage management, digital rights management, barcode printing, etc. Components can be added, changed and upgraded for customisation and future proofing.

SAAVII will be available in a range of editions including a software-as-a-service hosted edition. This will enable us to offer configuration and pricing options to meet the needs of all users from individual collectors to industry professionals to archives of all sizes.
