Renewed Partnership

Blue Lucy has officially renewed its enduring partnership with Banijay Rights, the global distribution arm of Banijay Entertainment. This new four-year agreement not only extends their collaboration but also underscores Blue Lucy’s critical role in supporting Banijay Rights’ media operations.

Innovative Technology at Work

Central to this partnership is Blue Lucy’s BLAM platform, a specialized integration and orchestration engine tailored for high-volume media workflows. Operating in a hybrid cloud and on-premises environment, BLAM efficiently manages AWS S3 cloud storage alongside on-site Quantum systems. This technology enables cost-effective media processing while simplifying tasks such as content adaptation, localization, compliance, rights management, and multi-format delivery across global markets.

Scalability and Performance

Since its initial implementation, the BLAM platform has significantly scaled to accommodate Banijay Rights’ growing content catalog. Impressively, it has managed a nearly 300% increase in asset volume, expanding from approximately 250,000 assets to nearly one million, and now oversees over 550,000 hours of media, including 360,000 hours of completed video content.

Proven Efficiency

In just the past year, BLAM has facilitated 1.3 million workflow executions and over 13 million microservice runs, showcasing its capability to thrive in large-scale operations. The platform’s adaptability is further evidenced by more than 2,500 workflow configuration changes made within the same timeframe, demonstrating its agility in meeting evolving operational demands.

Leadership Insights

Julian Wright, CEO of Blue Lucy, expressed, “Banijay Rights is a world-class distribution organization, and we are immensely proud to continue supporting their global operations. The statistics speak volumes, and this renewal is a testament to the strong collaboration we’ve fostered over the years, as well as our mutual commitment to innovation and agility. In the last year alone, our system has managed 1.3 million workflow runs and over 13 million microservice executions. It truly is a platform that performs at scale for Banijay Rights. Notably, over 2,500 workflow configuration changes in just one year highlight the agility, responsiveness, and operational flexibility our platform provides. BLAM is indeed a vital performance engine for Banijay Rights, and we are proud to contribute to delivering their content to screens worldwide.”

Richard Clarke, Head of Content Operations at Banijay Rights, added, “Operational excellence is crucial in our industry.
