Front Porch Digital and Grass Valley expand global joint marketing efforts

Front Porch Digital (FPD), the broadcast and media division of Incentra Solutions, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ICNS), has expanded its worldwide relationship with Grass Valley to include joint marketing activities to the global broadcast market.
The focus of the new effort is the proven integration of Front Porch’s DIVArchive archive management application with the Grass Valley NewsBrowse web-based browser/editor, an integral part of news and playout workflows for broadcast customers. The next evolution of this integration is represented by the addition of the new Grass Valley K2 media sever and media client systems.
“The strength of our integration with Front Porch technology is proven in many of the world’s leading broadcast facilities, and we want to expand on our past success,” said Matthew Allard, Product Manager at Grass Valley. “The combination of NewsBrowse and DIVArchive delivers a powerful set of tools to increase efficiency and creativity of newsroom operations. Now, with the introduction of our K2 servers, the performance of our integrated system will be even greater.”
Over the past three years, Front Porch has deployed DIVArchive in more than 20 broadcast facilities utilising Grass Valley Profile video servers. The Grass Valley integration team has included DIVArchive in 10 other digital workflow solutions for broadcasters throughout the European, Asia Pacific, Russian, and North American regions. (GB)
