What is on our agenda for 2025?

Currently, our roadmap has four main directions:

  • Moving all workflows to the web client and transitioning all customers to the web environment in the coming years.
  • Updating and designing new features to simplify broadcasters’ complex workflows.
  • Expanding integrations with third-party tools and leveraging AI-powered solutions.
  • Enhancing testing and automation with new tools to guarantee quality.

Web Client

With a small setback, we are ready to roll out! The work on the web client has been intense—just when we think it’s ready, new tasks keep appearing. While this may seem like a challenge, we see it as an opportunity to make the platform as complete, intuitive, and modern as possible. Content, rights, acquisition, linear planning, ads, promos, and reconciliation—it’s all there. Some exciting features coming soon include full-text search, favorite agendas, starring frequently used sections, sharing options with colleagues, and discussion tools. This will be our focus for the first half of the year.

Next, we will work on production workflows, with the goal of developing a standalone product for production houses. By the end of the year, we will also add non-linear workflows to the platform!

Functional Features

As we transition to the web, we are identifying areas for improvement to enhance the system further. One key focus is rights management. We plan to build a new system in parallel with the current model to address its limitations. The new model will be fully implemented in Java, ensuring better performance and manageability.

Our production module already supports external resources. The next step is to open it further for production houses, introducing a billing module that allows selling produced content while tracking internal costs. This will make production workflows more practical, benefiting both broadcasters and production companies by enabling them to fully manage their own production.

We are also working on:

  • Unifying linear and non-linear workflows into a single stream, integrating budgeting and strategic content planning.
  • Managing ads for non-linear inventory, ensuring a seamless workflow.
  • Remodeling royalty cost calculations, a customer-driven improvement on our roadmap.

Integrated Development

Currently, this area focuses on helping customers meet regulatory requirements. With the European Accessibility Act 2025, ensuring compliance with captioning and subtitling regulations will be essential for fast and efficient workflow management. Accessibility laws require a larger share of content to be accessible. Modern AI tools can assist in this process, working in synergy with PROVYS to coordinate tasks based on schedules and needs. 

Another key consideration is the global nature of broadcasting—more and more broadcasters are offering content worldwide. So why not introduce automatic translations? It’s on the roadmap!

Functional Testing Tools

Continuous upgrades require extra attention to product quality. That’s why we dedicate an entire roadmap stream to testing, ensuring our customers can rely on flawless software.

We are expanding functional tests to business-critical areas such as acquisition finance and the transition from transmission schedule to technological level. Web client tests are now fully integrated into our regular testing pipeline, meaning every release and patch automatically includes client application testing. End-to-end testing for web clients will also be expanded.

Testing isn’t limited to development. It’s also crucial on the customer side, ensuring that upgrades and patches are fully compatible with custom system configurations. This includes:

  • Enhanced support for functional tests of custom features.
  • Testing of integrations, ensuring the stability of system-critical components.
  • Patch and upgrade deployment processes, even in on-premise environments with limited external access.

Finally, we plan to introduce an internal process to track issues missed by QA, helping us continuously improve quality and eliminate unexpected surprises.
