Front Porch Digital selected by Al Jazeera International

Front Porch Digital (FPD), the broadcast and media division of Incentra Solutions, has been selected by Al Jazeera International to streamline Al Jazeera International’s digital video archives at its four broadcast centers in Doha (headquarters), London, Kuala Lumpur, and Washington, DC.
This sale will involve the delivery of four DIVArchive solutions with ad hoc professional services.
“We spent a lot of time considering all the archive management options available to us. Switching operations to four international broadcast centres in sequence presents us with unique challenges. Deciding to go HD added an extra list of requirements to our specifications”, said Steve Jedowski, Director of Technology for Al Jazeera International.
“Only Front Porch Digital with their DIVArchive product could offer a proven solution that could handle the complexity of this project, our HD requirements, and our need to connect four archives separated by great distances. They have already proven their capabilities with a number of global media brands that operate multiple sites all running on DIVArchive. No other archive management company has this kind of successful track record.”
