Pilat Media Adds Expanded Multidimensional Rights Management to IBMS
Customers’ Ability to Define Multilevel Content Rights Provides Powerful Advantage
for Supporting Wide Range of Delivery Platforms and Interactive Services
NEW YORK — March 21, 2012 — Pilat Media Global plc (AIM: PGB), a leading
supplier of business management software to the media industry, today announced a new,
expanded version of its IBMS Rights™ solution. A key component in the company’s
Integrated Broadcast Management System (IBMS), IBMS Rights now includes key
features for customer-defined, multilevel rights management that support today’s
complex, multiplatform media environments.
IBMS Rights is a comprehensive broadcast rights management solution for both linear
and on-demand multiplatform content, offering centralized rights management across all
broadcasting operations and covering contract management, program finance, and
distribution licensing. The IBMS Rights repository gives users a single, central location
for recording consumption, usage, and distribution rights for any type of content — from
movies and series to footage and clips —including the capture of underlying rights in
embedded content. Likewise, it provides a central point for querying rights availability
against any type of acquired or produced content, allowing the organization to exploit
fully all licensed or owned rights on any platform, either through broadcasting that
content or through licensing it to third parties.
With the new functionality in IBMS Rights, users can define an unlimited number of
rights dimensions, expanding the system’s preset rights dimensions to ensure that assets
are fully utilized and contractual obligations are always met. Rights dimensions can
include such parameters as broadcast resolutions, devices, and revenue models. As new
rights dimensions emerge, IBMS users can immediately configure the appropriate rights
themselves and log, track, and manage their usage from a centralized platform.

2. “With its enhanced rights management capabilities, IBMS Rights is now the industry’s
most flexible, comprehensive rights management system. IBMS users can manage
program rights on a highly granular level to maximize their revenues, engage their
audiences, and personalize viewer relationships like never before,” said Avi Engel, CEO
of Pilat Media. “IBMS Rights is the latest example of Pilat Media’s commitment to
offering a unified broadcast management platform from which media professionals can
scale their operations to serve an ever-increasing range of platforms and interactive
services, each with its own complex rights and content management
