New clients, staff and software – there’s no stopping us.

We are proud to say that Openbrolly has experienced a fantastic year! In fact, we went from strength to strength, developing our products, services, client base, and team.

2022 saw an extremely productive year for us at Openbrolly, gaining a contract with FÍS ÉIREANN/SCREEN IRELAND for the provision of the full range of MovieSite services for the national agency and film offices throughout the Republic of Ireland. This new client partnership along with many other new clients has consolidated Openbrolly’s position as the leading provider of SaaS products to Film Offices and National agencies in the UK and Europe. In addition, MS2 (MovieSite v 2) was completed and readied for rollout to all clients commencing January 2023. Once again, I’d personally like to thank the dedication of the OB team and the loyalty and collaboration efforts from all of our clients.

Wrapping up MS2


MS2 is wrapping up nicely, with new enhancements and developments incorporated. We are pleased to announce that we are moving our clients to their brand new shiny system and will be complete very soon.

These are just a few of our product developments this year; 

If you would like to find out more about our products and how they have changed, look out for our next blog post where we will describe them in more detail, but for now, here’s a sneak peek.

New Clients


FÍS ÉIREANN/SCREEN IRELAND

For many years, Screen Ireland has had a locations database with MovieSite. However, during 2022, the Openbrolly team and Screen Ireland have been working hard in the background on extending the SI offering to a Screen Crew and Services Database, which saw a very successful launch of their registration forms in February. Additional exciting functionality is due to be launched in the following few weeks. 

The Openbrolly team would like to take this opportunity to say thank you and wish them the very best of luck.
