Success Story

Award-winning Studio Relies on Creative Tools to Provide a Centralized License Overview

Award-winning Studio Relies on Creative Tools to Provide a Centralized License Overview

Customer challenge

An award-winning VFX and Animation Studio focusing on Film, TV, and Games, experienced difficulties managing its license pool. With offices in multiple locations and over 300 employees, they identified a need to save time on administrative tasks. They rely on Autodesk Solution Provider Creative Tools to optimize their license pool, support them with license-related issues, spread recurring licensing costs optimally over the year and provide an overview for all their licenses (not only for Autodesk software, also for other tools they use in their pipeline).

Project goals

The studio turned to Creative Tools to save time by centralizing their licenses to one hub and minimize the time they spend on license administration. They wanted to make sure they: 1) Invested in the right license model for their needs. 2) Got a better overview of their license pool, including licenses from different software providers. 3) Eliminated as much time as possible spent on license administration.

Solution

Creative Tools continuously provides an updated and centralized license overview including the studio’s many software licenses from different software providers. The license overview is much appreciated and assists the studio’s IT department to make faster decisions. They save time by knowing exactly how many active licenses they have and when they expire. The team also helps the studio with various license-related issues and tasks. They recently reached out to us regarding issues they stumbled upon while migrating from Autodesk Shotgun to ShotGrid. By assisting the customer with the migration, and offering extension licenses while the issue was being solved, they could continue their production without interruptions.

Business outcome

Creative Tools has helped the studio to save both time and money and to solve licensing issues. By getting a better overview of their license pool, they save time enabling them to focus on their projects. By ensuring they have the right license model for their needs, and by optimizing their license pool, they’ve also saved money.

Conclusion

In a fast-evolving industry, with large international projects in the pipeline, the studio can continue to keep up with deadlines, while still delivering world-class productions. By relying on Creative Tools for their license optimization and license overview, we’ve helped them with what we do best: licensing optimization and administration, and enabled them to spend more time on what they do best: being creative!

Implementierung von "remote-working" und Workflow Analyse der Commercials-Pipeline und Infrastruktur mit AutodeskFlame

Die nhb-Studios gehören zu den Marktführern im Bereich Video- und Audio-Postproduktion mit Standorten in Hamburg, Berlin, Düsseldorf und München. Im Zuge des Umzuges eines kompletten Standortes sollten Infrastruktur und bestehende Workflows analysiert und optimiert werden. Zusätzlich zu den bisherigen Herausforderungen war jetzt "remote-working" bei zertifizierter Datensicherheit ein weiterer wichtiger Punkt.
