OnBoard and Dashense integration increases accuracy, efficiency of TV trafficking.

April 11, 2017, New York, NY: Operative, the preferred business software provider to the world’s top TV Media brands, announced today that they have partnered with Warren Lamb & Associates to automate traffic copy instructions for TV networks. Operative’s OnBoard will connect to Warren Lamb’s Dashense(sm) service to automate the delivery of copy instructions between systems, eliminating inefficient, error-prone manual processes. Combined, OnBoard and Dashense provide the most advanced process available on the market, upgrading otherwise complex and manual data entry processes.

For over 7 years, Warren Lamb’s Dashense has provided an automated traffic instruction service for commercial operations teams at television networks worldwide, providing operational efficiencies while eliminating costly make-goods. , Dashense receives, standardizes and now with the new OnBoard integration, automatically loads copy instructions received from agencies into Operative’s Traffic systems. Dashense ingests data and processes it to be used directly within the systems for trafficking. Traffic instructions received via email and fax in a wide variety of formats are transformed into discrete data points and loaded into Dashense’s copy instruction workflow management tool where broadcaster commercial operations teams work with the actual data rather than paper or images, for editing and approval, before uploading them seamlessly into the Traffic system.

“The partnership between Operative and Warren Lamb represents the future of TV advertising, where connected automation is a requirement for media operations,” said Warren Lamb, President and CEO of Warren Lamb & Associates. “We are thrilled to provide a game-changing offering to networks as they work to build more automated systems to accommodate the explosion of trafficking data they receive across new ad formats and audience targeting.”
