Gutersloh: Arvato Systems is selected by CBC/Radio Canada as Strategic Partner for Broadcast Management Modernization
Arvato Systems continues to expand its leading market position for BMS systems in Canada
Gutersloh, Toronto, 25. August 2023
Arvato Systems, a leading global IT solutions provider, is pleased to announce that it has been selected as the strategic partner by the national broadcasting corporation CBC/Radio Canada for the modernization of its complete broadcast management system landscape. The project aims to enhance CBC/Radio Canada’s multi platform exploitation of audiovisual programming and empower CBC/Radio #Canada to stay ahead of the rapidly changing media industry.
CBC/Radio Canada issued an open request for proposal (RfP) to replace its existing Broadcast Management System. The RfP aimed to manage the linear and non linear distribution of CBC/Radio Canada’s audiovisual content. The tender called for an innovative and future proof solution that would address the organization’s current pain points and enable efficient and effective management of its programming and commercial inventory across all distribution platforms.
Arvato Systems stood out among the global vendors in the competitive evaluation process. The process included the response to over 800 functional and technical requirements, followed by detailed system demos and direct access to a dedicated test environment for further evaluation. After careful consideration, Arvato Systems’ Vidispine Broadcast Management Platform emerged as the clear winner for both lots of this RFP.

The implementation of all Vidispine components will be conducted in an agile manner, seamlessly integrated into CBC/Radio Canada’s ecosystem. The project team will use a phased agile approach to enable a smooth transition from the current legacy system into the next generation solution suite.
The proven record of success and market leading position of Arvato Systems in Canada, along with its strong presence in the region, further solidified CBC/Radio Canada’s confidence in selecting this company as their preferred vendor.
Arvato Systems’ Vidispine team is excited about the opportunity to work with CBC/Radio Canada on this significant project. “We are delighted to welcome CBC/Radio Canada to our North American customer family”, states Christian Schneider, Principal Strategic Market and Account Development within the Vidispine team at Arvato Systems. “We take great pride in being chosen as CBC/Radio Canada’s long term partner.
