Specifically, Studio System Projects gives content creators “a secure, enterprise-grade platform to improve organization, collaboration and productivity.”

Nielsen notes that users can create their own custom project records to serve as a centralized store for all related documents and materials tied to the project; from script drafts, storyboards and concept art, to casting videos and detailed tracking notes. Additionally, users can attach talent to projects and track them as credits or participants.

“The entertainment industry has lagged other industries in terms of access to integrated tools and data enabling better business decision-making and project management,” said Gracenote GM Simon Adams. “The next evolution of Studio System brings content creators a platform delivering much needed collaboration and workflow capabilities on top of the industry’s most trusted entertainment information database. By providing modern tools and a secure environment to replace disconnected solutions, Studio System Projects allows Hollywood to maximize creativity, accelerate development and produce that next big hit.”
