A few months after the deployment, Sophie Roelandt, audiovisual production manager, gives a first positive assessment and shares the concrete benefits observed on a daily basis.
Défis
Benefits
A multi-agency organisation to be structured
Multiple needs, strong growth in content production
CNES collaborates with 7 to 8 accredited agencies for the production of its audiovisual content: press releases, institutional films, reports, clips, educational series in motion design, realistic 3D films, and podcasts. In the face of constantly increasing production, smoother coordination and rigorous project tracking have become essential.
A still artisanal management
Until recently, production management relied on disparate and poorly suited tools: transfer links for large files, multiple downloads, or even the exchange of hard drives. A cumbersome and time-consuming system, poorly optimized to support a continuous and rapidly growing production flow.
Smartevo: a tailored solution to industrialise processes
A radical change in practices
Before Smartevo, CNES had no structured tool to manage its productions, or occasionally used a video annotation tool that did not meet its needs. Teams faced frequent crashes, unresponsive English-speaking support, and limited features, making collaboration with agencies sometimes complex. The arrival of Smartevo changed everything. The platform allowed the centralisation of all projects, standardised exchanges, and streamlined communication between CNES teams and their partner agencies, while providing better visibility on the progress of productions.
An immediate and enthusiastic adoption
Teams quickly embraced the tool, charmed by its ease of use and stability. They now use Smartevo daily, both for managing video projects and for producing podcasts or educational content.
The attentiveness and responsiveness of the Smartevo team is greatly appreciated. For any question or suggestion, the team is always on hand to help. I would find it hard to do without them!
The benefits: results and effectiveness in daily life
1 - Reduction in the number of back-and-forths
Thanks to collaborative annotation, all stakeholders now work on a
single consolidated list of comments. Partner agencies retrieve the feedback with one click, which significantly speeds up the validation cycles and limits the back-and-forths.
Thanks to the annotation, which involves all stakeholders in a project, we now have a single consolidated list of comments and our agencies can access them with one click.
2 - A more serene collaboration
Exchanges are centralised, versions are tracked and validations are quicker. Teams gain peace of mind and benefit from better visibility on the progress of their productions.
3 - An intuitive and reassuring platform
Everything is now centralised in a single environment, making consultation simple and smooth. Users know they can find all the information on a project at any time, without risk of loss or confusion.
