Abstract: Since the advent of file-based technologies, innovative and powerful implementation strategies are being used for broadcast, news, post, and Digital Intermediate (DI) workflows. This paper covers four key features of these workflows—namely system design considerations, process orchestration, operational aspects (what, how, when, where, who), and workflow agility factors. Several fundamental flow models have been developed that have become components in other more elaborate systems. Select examples are given, including high availability concepts, documenting workflow using unified modeling language (UML) diagrams, file transfer advantages, loosely coupled design ideas, service-oriented architecture (SOA) integration, and more. Best practice guidelines are offered for several scenarios.
