  • Publication number: 20200344512
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide for distributing asset opportunities across COD providers. One system includes an asset load manager (ALM) that receives information from the COD providers about asset opportunities for COD content of the COD providers. The ALM selected asset opportunity and delivers it to a trading platform that offers the asset opportunity to the remaining COD providers. The ALM also receives, from the trading platform, sale information of the asset opportunity to another of the COD providers and information of an asset used to fill the asset opportunity. An asset opportunity information system (AOIS) interfaces with an asset decision system (ADS), to direct the ADS to configure asset rankings and removals according to rules of the second COD provider. The ADS directs an asset insertion into the COD content of the first COD provider based on the asset ranking.
