DMG-MCS Options

DMG Confidential 2

Original DMG Plans

• DMG looking to leverage MCS to obtain asset management back-end services and storage– Migrate cineSHARE users/assets in phases– Then migrate EAGL to MCS-DMR in one shot

• DMG focuses on maintaining customer-facing applications• Expected benefits

– Better scalability and performance– Increased agility to create innovative solutions– Lower long-term storage costs– Cost savings from reduced headcounts (back-end services and

infrastructure)

Recent DMG Realizations

• Huge demand for DMG services plus focus on short-term benefits led to shortcuts in code development

• More time is now spent on maintenance and support activities than developing new features

• Current technology stack and code base does not support agile development

• Aging code base and technology stack is not adequate to meet current and future demands

• Concluded current DMR implementation is not sustainable

New Approach Options

• Option 1: New platform (ideal)– MCS builds full DMR on open source tech stack– DMG builds new EAGL on open source tech stack

• Option 2: Core replatform (proposed)– MCS builds core DMR on updated tech stack– DMG builds new EAGL and SPE-specific services on

open source tech stack

MCS’s Core Replatform Rationale

• Recognition of existing constraints– Revenue targets– Leverage existing investments in technology– Competitive pressures

• Eventually achieves the same primary benefits– Speed to value– Higher quality -> Lower maintenance costs

DMG Cost Considerations• Original Plan expectations

– Minimal development– Largest cost for migration effort / integrated sites– Timeline

• EAGL / DMR Migration Effort = 6 months• cineSHARE / Acorn Migration Effort = 6 months

– Expected Savings = 6 Resources ~$1 mil

• New Approach– Increased development costs– New EAGL (DMG)

• 6 months ~ $800 k

– Migration Timeline (same)– Expected Savings = 5 Resources ~$800 k --> $1 mil +

DMG’s Development Preferences

• Propose we have regular joint architecture sessions to discuss development process and metrics, APIs, frameworks, etc.

• Development best practices– Continuous delivery; metrics captured and goals set– BDD/TDD approach– “Forget old code”

• Technical stack discussion items– Windows and IIS are not optimal for AWS– Consider ElasticSearch or Solr over CloudSearch– Consider PostgresSQL over MySQL for data marts

DMG Confidential 9

Overall Risks

• Procurement process speed for new vendor to work with DMG on its build efforts

• MCS replatform approach does not result in desired gains

• DMG open stack approach support hindered by staffing needs

• Funding of DMG’s new build efforts• Market influences on MCS changing delivery

timelines and delaying DMG migration
