Unique User Interface
x-dream-Fabrik’s user interface brings all functionality into one view and adapts to each user’s role(s), permissions and tasks, presenting only relevant panels and interactions.

It allows easy configuration of distributed or cloud hybrid systems, support graphical workflow editor and integrates seamlessly with third-party tools. It’s a non-monolithic solution consisting from autonomous modules each with individual front-end, scripts, workflow and back-end services. This ensures tailored, efficient business processes without extensive development.
Innovative Data Structures
x-dream-Fabrik’s data structures are uniquely designed by storing metadata as JSON within a traditional SQL database, enabling seamless integration and migration. This approach allows existing MAM data to be imported without conversion, offers flexible search capabilities via Elastic Search, and supports complex asset structures. The MAM asset structure allows any number of container layers (by default, the usual 3 layers for series, seasons and episodes are configured).
