Overview

1. Database-controlled workflow engine that serves as a robust backbone for small and large archive projects alike – from simple inventory projects to factories with thousands of tasks processed per day.
2. Designed for the processing of complex business procedures in archive environments, equipped with a variety of standard but customizable workflows to suit every project.
   
3. Powering hundreds of audio and video digitization channels worldwide, with millions of assets preserved at the highest quality standards possible.

The centralized storage infrastructure of jobDB™ allows concurrent access to data from distributed clients, which in turn allows time-consuming tasks to be performed in parallel on several stations. Media files are centralized from the perspective of users and digitization workstations, but distributed from the perspective of processing applications.

Every connected ingest station from ingestLINE™ continually logs specific status and operator information to the central database, allowing administrators to supervise exactly what’s happening on each machine.

jobDB architecture facilitates efficient task dispatch towards dedicated skill sets, helps avoid operational errors, and enables powerful reporting.

Import and export of data can be further automated with watchfolder systems over FolderScanner and DBScripter. Users can feed the jobDB system with descriptive metadata from their catalogues and get back the same data plus media files including excessive tandem XML files in various shapes without any further administrative effort.
