RPM

Over two years of planning and development went into rethinking how film and television companies should be managing timeline based projects. We asked questions like, 'How do you create a system flexible enough to encapsulate and organize any set of tasks, but have the ability to create reports that look across different types of timelines?'. What if we wanted our system to manage not just the theatrical, Blue Ray, and DVD releases, but the production, post, and marketing department projects as well? What are the Achilles' heels and shortfalls of other project management systems? How do you create a tool to do all this that is simple enough for any user at a company to grasp and start using with almost no training, but have it be powerful enough to satisfy the reporting and project management needs of department heads and C-Level executives?

The result was RPM. FilmTrack’s RPM is the most intuitive and fluid project management system ever designed for film and television projects. Based on the V5 architecture from our flagship Avails™ product, RPM allows you to quickly and easily create template project timelines, manage group milestone and tasks targets, generate your own reporting tools, and get a single page calendar view of all your current releases and projects. It provides single click access to day view tasks. Featuring a rich client UI on a thin client platform, RPM provides a simpler and more intuitive approach to project management than traditional installable or network based project management solutions. RPM is fully integrated with the [Star]CM product, eliminating data redundancy and lowering management costs.
