Case Study RTP Integration with SAP

Financial Department needed to keep track of production costs in real time.
Production managers also needed to "talk" to the HR area and vice-versa as well as all the company needed to share information in a reliable and efficient way.
RTP quickly understood the benefits of this integration, not only to simplify and control processes but also facilitate the communication between different areas of the company.
The success of this implementation has been awarded the SAP Quality Awards 2010.

Case Study SIC

SIC grew from one single TV Channel to seven channels, some of which reaching 11 countries. The needs for increased production planning and coordination become obvious.

With market conditions significantly reducing the advertising budget, SIC needed to do increasingly more and better work with existing resources.

GSoft^® implemented GMediaPlan^® at SIC allowing the broadcaster to streamline its production activities, increasing its capacity by 20% without hiring more people or investing in new equipment.

Case Study SportTV

SportTV was managing highly flexible schedules of more 160 people, with different skills, availability and time constrains.

For timetables, holidays, shifts and days-offs SportTV was using excel sheets that grew increasingly complex and hard to understand. Working hours and performance were neither tracked nor registered.

Managers needed to gain visibility over staff planning, work distribution and availability.

GMediaPlan^® brings transparency into HR work, and sends objective information to the payroll system. SportTV was able to improve employee's motivation and reduce churn. GMediaPlan^® was yielding benefits from day 1.

GMediaPlan allows me register all the information about human and technical resources, retrieve performance indicators and view equipment profitability in real time.

Luis Vieira
Executive Production Coordination at RTP

GMediaPlan brought a lot more objectivity to our team's shifts and timetables […] information that protects both the worker and the company.

Filipe Moura
Financial Controller at SportTV

GMediaPlan brings the capacity to plan, forecast and organize [...] ensuring each area's productivity is taken to its limit.

Miguel Oliveira
Media Manager at RTP

For the company, mainly for the members of different departments and the board, it means higher degree of control, in real-time, over everything that is going on at TV production, related to cost, profits and management control.

Fernando Albuquerque
Systems and Technology Director at RTP

This is what I call my bible, I don't know of a more complete system then this one.

Aníbal Costa
Manager of the Equipment Planning Unit at RTP

Using Gsoft tools, we managed to control costs and keep in-house production in budget (and it used to exceed 70% from original budget). [...] the arguments I have with producers, usually allow me to reduce their budgets up to 30%. And why? Because I have GMediaPlan.

Isabel Carvalho
Production Purchase and Control at RTP

I was the last one to adopt it ... until I realized it is pratical and functional, we have all we need here ... If I'd lose GMediaPlan now, it would be like going back to the stone-age ... from color TV and 3D, back to black and white.

Augusto Gervásio
Operations Supervisor at SIC

The benefits are obvious; at HR and equipment management level this tool is almost unrivaled. I don't think there is a system doing HR and equipment management, with financial area associated, as good, as reliable and as easy to use as GMediaPlan.
