IBM IMS vs. Verbit

We have built a database of a network of bank branches with all the needs of security and recovery/restart. It requires knowledge of obsolete maintenance languages and perhaps it is too rigid in the schemes.

Incentivized

Verbit offers a captioning service that meets our requirements and is less expensive than other services we have used in the past. It offers a web interface as well as being integrated into our LMS (Canvas) so it is very flexible in how we can use it.

Since it is integrated with our media management software (Kaltura), it works seamlessly in the background.

One caveat is that you can't search for a unique ID number in the web interface, so if you have two or more videos that have the same name, you don't know which one to caption.

Incentivized

• Security
• Reliability
• Big volume of data and good performance

Incentivized

• Certainly, not being a DB relational penalizes its use
• It should be more flexible
• Open up to more recent languages

Incentivized

Essentially, for a question of reliability and scalability, the performance has always been of an enterprise level. The utilities are efficient and effective.

Incentivized

• The investment made about 20 years ago that has been fully repaid
• Reliability and security of investments
• Unfortunately, it is quite outdated and therefore maintenance costs are higher because the skills are not always available.
