Script Management Solution - RFI

Tender description

The BBC are looking for a scripting and scheduling tool for productions across the organisation. This need for this solution arose out of the discontinuation of Adobe Story from the market by Adobe Systems Inc., leaving many of our productions with a need for a replacement scripting & scheduling tool.

The solution should be able to integrate with Final Draft and MS Word. The high level requirements in part C have been summarised below. The system should provide the following functionalities: - Camera Scripting (multi camera)/music Scripts - Ability to create camera cards - Reporting for costume, props, makeup continuity Scene Scheduling - people, sets, scene (calendar/planning) - Cast & Crew names & contact details (email for distribution of docs) - Ability to create call sheets and unit lists - Auto watermarking - Ability to create sides (talent specific scripts) - Integration with Final Draft - Live schedule tracking - status updates, reasons for overrun etc. - Post production scripting - Cloud storage including managing permissions & sharing - Script management including track changes & permission management - Ability to create running orders - Ability to create story orders (report off script) - APIs This RFI is intended only to elicit information and inform the BBC's future strategy.
