OpenText Content Storage Service - Aviary Platform Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between OpenText Content Storage Service and Aviary Platform

1. Centralized archive for finished media masters

Direction: Aviary Platform ? OpenText Content Storage Service

When video and audio projects are completed, Aviary can automatically move approved master files, final edits, and delivery packages into OpenText Content Storage Service for long-term retention. This gives media teams a secure, durable archive for high-value assets while keeping Aviary focused on active production work.

• Reduces storage pressure in Aviary
• Supports retention and compliance requirements
• Creates a reliable archive for future reuse, repurposing, or audit needs

2. Cloud-based storage for raw media ingest and large source files

Direction: OpenText Content Storage Service ? Aviary Platform

Large raw video and audio files can be stored in OpenText Content Storage Service and then referenced or ingested into Aviary for review, tagging, and workflow processing. This is useful for organizations handling high-volume media capture, where scalable object storage is needed before assets are organized for editorial use.

• Supports high-volume ingest without overloading production systems
• Improves scalability for large media libraries
• Enables controlled access to source assets during editing and review

3. Metadata-driven retrieval of archived assets for repurposing

Direction: Bi-directional

Aviary can push rich media metadata such as project name, campaign, rights status, speaker, or topic into OpenText Content Storage Service alongside the stored file. Later, teams can search in Aviary or retrieve from storage using those metadata values to quickly locate archived clips for new campaigns, social edits, training content, or broadcast reuse.

• Speeds up content reuse across marketing, communications, and production teams
• Improves searchability of archived media
• Reduces time spent manually locating legacy assets

4. Automated lifecycle management for media retention and deletion

Direction: Aviary Platform ? OpenText Content Storage Service

Aviary can trigger lifecycle rules in OpenText Content Storage Service to move assets from active use to archive tiers, and eventually to deletion when retention periods expire. This is valuable for organizations that must manage rights-limited content, temporary campaign assets, or regulated media with defined retention windows.

• Enforces retention policies consistently
• Reduces storage costs by tiering inactive content
• Supports legal, compliance, and records management requirements

5. Secure distribution of approved media to downstream systems

Direction: OpenText Content Storage Service ? Aviary Platform

Approved media stored in OpenText Content Storage Service can be made available to Aviary for distribution workflows, where teams prepare clips for CMS publishing, internal portals, or partner delivery. This creates a controlled handoff from secure storage to media operations, ensuring only approved versions are used downstream.

• Prevents use of unapproved or outdated files
• Improves governance over published media
• Supports cross-team collaboration between compliance, media, and digital publishing teams

6. Disaster recovery and business continuity for media libraries

Direction: Aviary Platform ? OpenText Content Storage Service

Aviary-managed media assets can be replicated or backed up to OpenText Content Storage Service to provide a resilient recovery copy of critical content. In the event of a platform issue, accidental deletion, or migration project, the organization can restore media assets from the storage layer and minimize disruption to production and publishing operations.

• Protects against data loss
• Supports continuity for mission-critical media operations
• Provides a scalable backup target for large asset volumes

7. Migration of legacy media repositories into a modern cloud workflow

Direction: Legacy storage to OpenText Content Storage Service, then OpenText Content Storage Service ? Aviary Platform

Organizations modernizing older file shares or on-premises media repositories can first migrate content into OpenText Content Storage Service, then connect Aviary for metadata enrichment, collaboration, and workflow management. This staged approach helps decouple storage modernization from media operations and reduces migration risk.

• Simplifies legacy storage retirement
• Enables phased migration with minimal disruption
• Creates a cloud-ready foundation for media workflow modernization
