‘Charlie Rose’ Turns to Wazee Digital, AWS
Story Highlights
To help mark its 25th anniversary, the acclaimed “Charlie Rose” TV program has launched a new online content portal, allowing the PBS interview show’s staff to curate more than two decades worth of interviews.
Wazee Digital Core, the company’s enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) cloud-based video management platform, is among several tech solutions “Charlie Rose” turned to for CharlieRose.com, with Wazee also partnering with Amazon Web Services for the archive section of the site; Caption Colorado for quick captioning services; and Digital Media Services as Wazee’s encoding partner.
“Wazee Digital’s ability to handle high-volume, multifaceted content libraries in a cloud storage environment is an ideal solution for managing the ‘Charlie Rose’ archive,” said Harris Morris, CEO of Wazee Digital. “The production team can focus on producing high-quality content, while we take care of the assets — so ‘Charlie Rose’ audiences can easily search and explore the archive.”
Wazee Digital Core helps manage metadata, large-scale digital ingest and segmenting workflows, and helps visitors to the site browse the entire archive of the show for both full episodes and individual segments, with smart search enabled for guests, dates and topics.
“I’m thrilled by the response to the site,” Rose said. “So many have written to reflect their pleasure in being able to navigate nearly 25 years of remarkable conversations with the most interesting people in the world. We take great pride in the fact that many say they’re discovering so many interesting aspects of our archive.”
