Modular, Scalable, Flexible: Inside TMD’s Mediaflex-UMS Architecture

As media operations evolve faster than ever, your Media Asset Management (MAM) platform must be more than a static tool — it needs to grow, adapt, and align seamlessly with your changing business goals.

That’s why TMD’s Mediaflex-UMS is built on a modular, scalable, and flexible architecture — giving you the power to start where you are today and expand without costly overhauls tomorrow.

A Modular Approach: Build What You Need, When You Need It

No two organisations manage media in exactly the same way. Mediaflex-UMS is designed to be component-based, allowing you to implement the modules that meet your immediate needs, then add new capabilities as your workflows evolve.

Typical modules include:

• Acquisition & Ingest – Bring content in from multiple sources with automated QC.
• Metadata Management – Ensure content is searchable, discoverable, and ready for use.
• Workflow Orchestration – Automate repetitive tasks, from transcoding to delivery.
• Archive Management – Securely store, protect, and retrieve assets across tiers.
• Content Distribution – Deliver media to the right platform, in the right format, every time.

This “only what you need” model means you’re not paying for features you don’t use — and you can easily expand as your needs grow.

Scalability Without Limits

From small GLAM archives to global broadcasters handling petabytes of content, Mediaflex-UMS scales effortlessly.

• Start small — ideal for Tier 2/3 broadcasters or single-site operations.
• Grow seamlessly — expand to multi-site, multi-region deployments without disruption.
• Handle increased volumes — scale storage, processing, and user access without performance bottlenecks.

Whether your content library doubles in a year or your distribution channels multiply overnight, the architecture ensures your system keeps pace.

Flexibility at Its Core

Mediaflex-UMS supports on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments, giving you full control over how and where your system runs.

• On-premises for full infrastructure control.
• Cloud for elasticity, reduced hardware overhead, and remote access.
• Hybrid for the best of both worlds, enabling smooth migration and disaster recovery.

The platform’s open APIs ensure it plays well with your existing tools — from editing systems to storage platforms — avoiding lock-in and maximising your technology investments.

Why This Matters for Your Business

• Future-Proofing – Add capabilities without replacing your core system.
• Operational Agility – Adjust workflows as new formats, standards, and channels emerge.
• Lower Total Cost of Ownership – Invest in capabilities when you need them, not before.

With over 30 years of experience in media asset management, TMD understands that technology decisions must balance innovation with stability. Mediaflex-UMS delivers both — giving you confidence that today’s investment will serve tomorrow’s needs.
