About TVA
TVA Group Inc. is an integrated communications company involved in television, the production and distribution of audiovisual products, and in magazine publishing. TVA Group is one of the largest private sector producers and the largest private sector broadcaster of French-language entertainment, information and public affairs programming, and magazine publishing in North America.
Project Scope
Groupe TVA has chosen the Quintiq Broadcasting Planning Solution to schedule the workforce and resources of its Broadcasting sector. The solution will be seamlessly integrated with Groupe TVA's SAP system to streamline the scheduling process, reduce operational costs and improve overall productivity. Until now, Groupe TVA was planning its workforce and resources with a homegrown legacy system. In recent years, television production has changed and Groupe TVA’s operations have grown to the point that the system can no longer support the dynamics and complexity of scheduling the production department. In addition, the legacy system was not integrated with Groupe TVA's SAP system, causing information gaps.
