FAQs:
The platform can manage any media and non-media file format. If you have a file type that is new or unknown we can quickly train the platform to understand the file and how it should be processed.
Yes it is. In fact BOLT is powered by the technology behind BLAM, Blue Lucy’s content supply chain integration platform.
BOLT is typically provided as a managed service from Blue Lucy, utilising your storage. BOLT can be deployed into your cloud infrastructure, with AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google GCP supported.
Yes, BOLT can utilise all the 3rd party integrations supported by BLAM. Any BOLT workflow actions are built and managed by Blue Lucy so you don’t need to worry about maintaining the integrations, we take care of that for you.
Yes the platform has a built in real time notification system which means that the information you are viewing is always up to date. Updates happen in real time. Built-in tools, such as review and approve, asset notes, and sharing collections all facilitate collaboration with your team.
With BOLT Pro operators can create multiple branded portals, and BLAM operators with multi-tenant systems can deploy instances of BOLT specific to each tenant.
Yes, access to assets may be set at a group level within the system, so the visibility of an asset can be restricted to specific operational groups.
Yes the platform provides a full version management capability.
BOLT can accommodate up to 50 users as standard. Contact us for details of pricing for more users.

Metadata may be sourced from your existing metadata repositories, from your rights management system or it can be manually ingested / keyed. Blue Lucy also has connectors for a range of AI tools and these may be utilised to automatically generate specific data tailored to your business needs.
High resolution, full bit rate master files do not tend to playable within a web browser. BOLT generates a proxy file from your master, ensuring you can view the file directly through your browser. Subject to a user’s permission within the system it is possible to download the master files.
Here’s what you need to know about working with Blue Lucy
At Blue Lucy we like to challenge the conventions of solving business problems for media operators. That’s why our sophisticated integration and orchestration platform, BLAM redefines the content supply chain to deliver business value right from the start of every implementation.
BOLT addresses another fundamental operational need – accessibility. BOLT reconnects media teams and the executive with their content, and it couldn’t be simpler to use. BOLT operates as a standalone application, but also benefits from native integration with BLAM. For existing BLAM users, BOLT is a great add-on for operators and executives who don’t need full access to all functionality but want to perform simple tasks and explore their inventory. Similarly, standalone BOLT users may find their needs expand and can move on to deploy a full BLAM implementation, secure in the knowledge that both systems integrate fully.
