Let’s Do The Time Warp Again! Comments Off
Daylight saving. Don’t you just love the extra long days, the clear sunny afternoons and evenings that seem to go on forever? Of course you do. Unless you live in QLD, the NT or WA – and you don’t have that extra hour of daylight to fade your curtains! In the eastern states, daylight saving has kicked in, meaning there are now five different timezones in Australia. And because we have voice talent and producers working in most states of the country, it can take the brain power of Einstein to calculate the time differences when scheduling deadlines!
Until now.
We’ve just implemented a brand new feature in our production management system that knows the timezone that you’re in, the timezone the voice-over artist is in, the timezone that the producer is in, and then calculates all production deadlines for each link in the chain in their local time.
Now, just tell us in your local time when your deadline is and our system will do the rest. There’s no need to calculate what the Australian Eastern Daylight Saving Time is; just let us know your deadline in your local time. Simple.
What does all this mean for you? More reliability and continued commitment that we will endeavour to never miss your deadlines. We’re committed to finding ways of improving our service for you, and this feature will help us to provide that.
So just remember, always quote your deadline for each job you send in your local time.
The clock is ticking!
