Talent Partners

go hands free

Managing and processing residuals information for commercials aired in network, cable and spot media is complicated. These transactions originate from a variety of sources–a mediabuying company, the advertising agency, or Talent Partners itself–and often involve manual entry and re-entry of unpredictable volumes of data in multiple formats. Clarus is designed with this complex flow in mind, transforming a highly hands-on task into a virtually hands-free, error-free operation.

Clarus moves residuals data through a highly automated electronic pipeline, delivering information from the DDS local TV and radio and national TV traffic systems directly into the Talent Partners payroll system. This innovative application analyzes the incoming data against business rules, determines if and when residuals are required, and quickly advances the request for payment.

Filling in the details

By automating residuals information processing, Clarus ensures—

  • Faster payment processing. With residuals data flowing right from the DDS traffic system to Talent Partners, users are able to verify and generate payments much more quickly.
  • Tighter quality control. More than simply a conduit from one system to another, Clarus imposes business logic along the way to determine the appropriate next step. The application keeps tabs on a variety of residual challenges including issues of broadcast lag, current market cycles and non-airs. This ensures against the possibility of multiple or inaccurate payments and other expensive errors.
  • More efficient allocation of resources. Clarus reduces tedious paperwork at each and every touchpoint involved in managing and processing residuals data. The application thus relieves some of the many demands on staff so that they can attend to other critical matters.
  • Greater peak capacity. As an electronic pipeline, Clarus has the flexibility to accommodate sharp ups and downs in residuals payment activity. With this scalability, Clarus eliminates the need to monitor and manage swings in residuals volume.
