Flow: Aviary Platform ? OpenText Trading Grid Cartographer
When Aviary is used to distribute video and audio assets to external agencies, broadcasters, or syndication partners, integration details can be captured in Trading Grid Cartographer to provide a clear view of partner connections, file exchange paths, and delivery dependencies. This helps media operations teams document where assets are sent, which partners receive which content, and how those exchanges are structured across EDI or API-based workflows.
Business value: Improves governance over content distribution, reduces manual tracking of partner deliveries, and supports faster troubleshooting when a media transfer fails.

Integration architects can use Cartographer to identify downstream media workflows affected by changes in partner connectivity, API endpoints, or exchange rules. For example, if a distribution partner changes its delivery protocol or metadata requirements, the team can assess which Aviary publishing workflows, asset handoffs, or automated processing steps will be impacted before making changes.
Business value: Reduces production disruption, shortens change approval cycles, and helps media teams plan updates with fewer service interruptions.

Aviary metadata such as content type, campaign, region, language, or rights window can be used to document and map how assets are routed to different trading partners. Cartographer can serve as the operational reference for which metadata-driven rules govern each external exchange, making it easier for integration and media operations teams to understand how assets move through the partner ecosystem.
Business value: Creates a single operational view of content routing logic, improves auditability, and supports more consistent partner delivery processes.
Flow: Bi-directional
When a video or audio delivery fails, Aviary can provide the asset context while Trading Grid Cartographer provides the integration path, partner endpoint, and dependency map needed to isolate the issue. Support teams can quickly determine whether the failure is related to the media file, metadata mismatch, partner connection, or transport configuration.
Business value: Reduces mean time to resolution, lowers support effort across media and integration teams, and helps prevent repeated delivery failures.

When a new distributor, publisher, or content syndication partner is onboarded, Cartographer can be used to map the required integration touchpoints and document the exchange pattern. Aviary teams can then align asset preparation, metadata standards, and publishing workflows to the documented partner requirements before go-live.
Business value: Speeds partner onboarding, reduces implementation errors, and improves coordination between integration, media operations, and external trading partners.

For organizations distributing licensed media, Aviary can manage the asset and its metadata while Cartographer documents the external exchange routes used to deliver content to approved partners. This creates traceability for where content was sent, through which integration path, and under what operational structure, which is useful for compliance reviews and rights enforcement.
Business value: Strengthens audit readiness, supports content rights governance, and provides evidence of controlled partner distribution.
Flow: Bi-directional
As media organizations modernize from manual file transfers to automated API-based publishing, Cartographer can document the evolving integration landscape while Aviary continues to manage the media assets and workflows. Together, they provide a practical view of how legacy and modern exchange methods coexist, which systems are involved, and where automation opportunities remain.
Business value: Helps teams rationalize integration complexity, prioritize automation investments, and improve cross-functional visibility during transformation initiatives.
