Success Story

Deliver Autodesk Maya for 360 Artists Work From Home Paired with Teradici

Deliver Autodesk Maya for 360 Artists Work From Home Paired with Teradici

Customer challenge

Icon Creative Studio had the following challenges: 1) Migrating the staff to 100% work from home locations during the COVID-19 pandemic 2) Allowing Icon to grow artist workstations, render and storage without being constrained inside a physical office

Project goals

The primary goal for this project was to allow Icon employees to work from home, growing the team to over 400 artists at multiple locations leveraging Autodesk connected solutions.

Solution

The following Autodesk Solutions were deployed along with CDW Canada support: 1) Autodesk Shotgun 2) Autodesk Maya 3) Autodesk Arnold

Business outcome

Through this flexibility and support, Icon was awarded another season of Elena of Avalor for Disney+ and has continued to grow to over 400 artists leveraging Autodesk Shotgun, Maya and Arnold along with a larger increase in artist workstations, render and storage. The entire studio now has the flexibility to work from home and Icon is no longer constrained from growing by the four walls of an office!

Conclusion

By leveraging discounted pricing and 3-month subscriptions for the entire studio to utilize the Teradici Cloud Access plus remote artist workflow, CDW StudioCloud helped Icon leverage extended payment terms backed by Autodesk and special pricing to renew their subscriptions and grow.

Deliver Value of 1250 User Based Autodesk ShotGrid with 3-Year Business Case

Atomic Cartoons had the following challenges: 1) More than doubling the number of artists while managing work from home and remote office locations during the COVID-19 pandemic. 2) Aligning the number of Autodesk subscriptions to match the actual number of artists employed, even if working on multiple projects simultaneously. Prior to the transition to ShotGrid Single User, Atomic Cartoons executives felt they were not recognizing good value, paying for duplicate instances to account for artists working on multiple projects. 3) Deliver price competitiveness to support growth.
