STUDIO CITY, CA--(Marketwired - October 29, 2014) - ContentBridge Systems, LLC, has formed a strategic partnership with FilmTrack, a global leader in intellectual property management for the media and entertainment industry, to provide an automated digital supply chain solution for distributors of movie, television, and short-form content.

The co-announcement was made by FilmTrack CEO Jason Kassin and ContentBridge COO Doug Reinart.

The partnership will provide a seamless service for clients looking to streamline the management and distribution of their digital content. Users of FilmTrack will be able to access automated transcoding, packaging, and delivery of media to a large and growing network of digital retailers such as iTunes, Netflix, Amazon, Google, Hulu, Vudu, and many more. Under the agreement, ContentBridge becomes a member of the FilmTrack Technology Alliance, while FilmTrack joins the ContentBridge Technology Partner Program.

FilmTrack's suite of cloud-based SaaS solutions is in use by more than 200 companies, including some of the most established brands in film and television, to better manage, monetize and deliver their IP. Recently, FilmTrack extended its position as the leading royalties and licensing solution for media and entertainment through the acquisition of software provider Jaguar Consulting. FilmTrack also recently announced a partnership with Aspera, an IBM Company, to offer a high-speed direct-to-cloud file transfer platform, providing clients with unprecedented digital delivery speed, security and service into and out of the cloud.

ContentBridge provides technologies and services that help major studios, aggregators and independent distributors meet their digital distribution challenges. The company's best-in-class software provides cost effective ways to manage, transform and deliver media and metadata to major retailers worldwide.

Reinart said: "Our FilmTrack relationship is motivated by a vision for automating the digital content supply chain -- from information capture during concept and development, through contracting and definition of rights and avails, to the actual fulfillment of feature and TV content to business partners," says Reinart. "Content owners will be able to manage their media, metadata, and distributions through connected best-in-class applications that will consolidate data entry, eliminate errors, and provide greater supply chain visibility. In the end, this is about giving our clients the means to lower total supply chain cost, increase agility, and deliver superior service to their retail partners."

Kassin added: "FilmTrack is continually expanding its partner ecosystem both to inform our strategic roadmap and to provide an expanded suite of services to help clients reduce costs, improve efficiency and increase revenue. This partnership with ContentBridge allows our clients to dramatically improve the efficiency and transparency of content value chain."
