Filmbankmedia Picks Fincons’ AllRights To Manage Content Rights

Fincons Group, an international IT solutions provider with more than 40 years in the technology market, announced that Filmbankmedia — the joint venture between Warner Bros. Discovery, Sony Pictures and NT Digital specialising in non-theatrical film and TV licensing and distribution — has chosen AllRights as its next rights management platform.

Filmbankmedia licenses studio content to a broad client base under intricate agreements that differ by title, customer type and territory. As distribution widens across additional platforms and markets, accurately tracking, governing and enforcing those terms becomes ever more important. Once configured and deployed, AllRights will deliver a single, dependable source of rights data to underpin these processes, streamlining operations and reinforcing copyright governance.

The deal represents the latest milestone in Filmbankmedia’s multi-year digital transformation, which Fincons has supported from the outset. Earlier phases included building a next-generation OTT platform to provision diverse catalogues for clients in a B2B2C model, launching a digital storefront that adapts content visibility by geography, introducing a catalogue manager for media assets, and implementing a middleware layer linking the catalogue to core systems from ERP through to rights management. Extending the collaboration to the implementation, configuration and integration of AllRights is a natural progression, drawing on Fincons’ deep business and application expertise to ensure seamless alignment with Filmbankmedia’s IT ecosystem.

Andrea Cavalieri, CTO at Filmbankmedia, said: "Rights management has become significantly more complex, with more territories, languages, platforms and business models to manage.

"We needed a flexible and configurable solution that could integrate with our existing systems, strengthen rights governance and support our future growth.

"AllRights met those requirements, and our long-standing relationship with Fincons gives us confidence that they understand both our business and our technology environment."

Already in use at leading international Media & Entertainment companies, AllRights features a cloud-native, open and highly configurable architecture that spans end-to-end rights-in and rights-out workflows, including negotiation, contract workflow, catalogue, elemental rights and availability analysis — providing the flexibility and scalability modern businesses require.

Francesco Moretti, Group Deputy CEO and CEO International at Fincons Group, said: "We are proud that Filmbankmedia has chosen Fincons to support this next step in its digital evolution."

"Over the years, we have invested significantly in developing proprietary solutions, with the aim of supporting our clients on their growth and transformation journeys."

"AllRights is one of the most important assets of this strategy and has been designed to adapt easily to the needs of Media companies with different business models. Filmbankmedia’s choice confirms the value of our modern approach to rights management."
