Case Study: Chess.com streamlines media management and content workflows with Iconik

Checkmating media management challenges with Chess.com

Chess.com, a prominent internet chess server, was challenged by exponential growth and an expanding media library. They lacked a structured workflow, had inefficient review processes, and struggled to publish content effectively. To address these media management challenges, they turned to the vendor Iconik for its media asset management solution.

By implementing Iconik, Chess.com streamlined its content creation and distribution, integrating it into both broadcast and video-on-demand workflows. The results were significant, including a more efficient review process and enhanced collaboration. The solution efficiently organized their 15-year library; one search for a specific player that previously took hours or days was reduced to mere moments. Iconik provided a scalable framework for managing their hundreds of thousands of assets and hundreds of terabytes of media.
