How to switch platforms without the migration headache

The biggest reason distributors stay on tools they have outgrown is the fear of moving. With ONE we do the heavy lifting, from migration and design to integrations, then hand you a site your team runs day to day without a developer.

In this guide

  1. Hand over, don’t rebuild
  2. Connect what you already use
  3. Run it without a developer
  4. Host your video, or don’t

Before and after

The usual way, and the ONE way

Flip the switch to see what changes.

Moving the catalogue

Months of copy and paste

By the people who should be selling.

We run the migration

Hand over what you have: assets, videos, metadata and design. ONE migrates it and can automate the import.

Your rights system

Two sources of truth

That never quite agree.

Keep your master

ONE integrates with systems such as Salesforce, Rightsline and EasyTrack, and has a REST API.

Adding a new show

Raise a ticket

And wait for a developer.

Do it yourself

Your admins add programmes, images, videos and seasons themselves.

The week before a market

Everything stops

Because nobody has time.

Extra hands

If your team is stretched, ONE can help.

How it works

Four moves

01

Hand over, don’t rebuild

Share what you already have and ONE runs the migration phase, then delivers a full working site. Fox Entertainment Global launched in 100 days, in time for MIPCOM.

Connect what you already use

Keep your rights or CRM system as the master and let ONE work alongside it through integrations or the REST API.

Run it without a developer

Adding a standard new title is an admin task: create the programme, then add images, videos, seasons and assets.

Host your video, or don’t

Use ONE’s integrated hosting, an existing platform such as Brightcove, or your own storage. Hosting with ONE adds viewing data and automatic thumbnails.

Questions we get asked

Before you ask

How long does a switch take?

It depends on your catalogue, but Fox Entertainment Global launched a private, branded catalogue in 100 days. Banijay Rights merged two ONE platforms without disrupting buyer access.

Do we have to move our video files?

No. ONE can host them, integrate with platforms like Brightcove or reference files on your own storage. Hosting with ONE unlocks the fullest viewing data.

Who looks after it day to day?

Your admins do, without a developer. We are there when you need extra help.

See it working on your own catalogue

Book a demo and we will show you this with your own titles, or request a brochure to share with your team.
