Electronic document management on the radio
At the regional radio station, where I work as a speaker, and at the same time as a software engineer, we decided to leave the endless pile of papers between the departments: sales, news, production. It will be mainly about interaction in the main mode of receiving money from the air for radio - advertising.
The first step was the introduction of free Sharepoint Services 2010. Here, especially many have decided not to suffer. We created a workflow for approving an advertising agent’s application for a commercial by a lawyer and a director. After coordination, notifications are sent to the sound engineer on the production task and then to the traffic manager for placement in ad units. They brought separate boxes on GMail, set GNotifier to receive notifications.
Here is a corporate portal with company news and tasks for departments.
Applications go to the "ball", all is well. But the paper remained: the sound engineer had to print out the text for the announcer from the application. News also brings texts on paper. Putting a complex like " News Factory " seemed too cumbersome, so we decided to do this:
Configured Wi-fi, Android 2.3, as far as they understood, does not support a proxy, so no Dropbox or GDocs. From here - samba on one of the servers, the documents are opened through the ES Explorer program. Here, in the “LAN” menu, the server address and the package “ Documents to go ”, which understands all the necessary office formats, are added to the bookmarks. Judging by the reviews on GPlay, it’s not really a program, but we only need to open the file for reading, no more is needed.
')
Now the scheme is as follows.
Advertisement : The text of the application from the sound engineer’s mail is copied (pens) into the “Advertisement” file, which lies on the server. The announcer opens it on the tablet and recites the text.
News : News file is open for newsmen all day. After dialing the next issue and saving it, the announcer gets a weighty “done!” IM, opens it on the tablet, reads the text. It should be borne in mind that Documents to go copies itself a file to disk, and does not open it over the network. Periodically it is necessary to clean the local memory of the downloaded copies.
Newsmen also have daily backups of files with issues for the archive. I liked the solution from cobiansoft.com
What is the result? .
Pluses are clear - got rid of the paper completely in this task.
Of the minuses of this design:
The logical comment is “what did you want from a $ 100 tablet?”, But there was no experience, you have to learn from your own mistakes.

- We ordered a tablet from the Chinese for $ 100 a la ipad
- There was a Wi-fi TP-link router available
- Bought a stand for the tablet. It seems to be easy, but it is inconvenient to hold in hands

Of the minuses of this design:
- The quality of the tablet. It is terrible. The screen is not clear enough, the eyes are somewhat dazzled with the general not too bright illumination of the recording studio, as a result, the eyes get tired, you can get off when reading. The battery sits very quickly, almost all the time you need to keep the network. One full charge is enough for one full day of work - 8-10 inclusions for 5-7 minutes at a time.
- Wi-fi strangely disappears, you have to reconnect, sometimes print faster. It is better to use ethernet if possible.
- A month after use, he suddenly stopped charging, the power plug reeled.
