• What are your biggest challenges in production and distribution?

• Does your sports operations staff and scouting group have access to all digital material owned by the organization?

• Does your marketing and sales departments have on-line, immediate access to digital materials?

• How do you manage handling multiple formats in production or in handling internal/external requests?

• Do you efficiently utilize material across platforms; is there a single point of ingest?

• What happens to your assets after they’re created? Do they get logged and how is that log preserved? Is it anyone’s job to make sure it happens?

• Does the team and venue have separate unconnected production facilities?

• Do you have a migration plan for SD and other outdated formats?

• Can you share footage on desktops across the organization?

• How often do production people need access to the same asset and how do you handle?
