Digital Media Team Streamlining Collaboration with Frame.io and AWS
Company Situation
The company operates within the digital media production industry, supporting creative teams that manage large volumes of video and multimedia assets. Their team structure includes roles spanning production, post-production, and data management, working collaboratively across multiple projects and companies. They currently manage substantial data storage needs, reflecting a mid-to-large scale operation with multi-terabyte asset libraries.
Existing Workflow
The company has relied on a leading industry-standard digital asset management platform for over five years, utilizing it across several companies. Their workflow involves creating workspaces for projects, managing asset transfers manually, and coordinating between production and post-production teams. Asset migration between workspaces requires manual downloads and uploads, with limited support for automated transfer processes.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
Despite the established platform’s reliability, the company experiences significant challenges:
Lack of flexibility in pricing and contract negotiations.
Poor customer support and limited responsiveness to migration and technical needs.
Inefficient asset migration requiring manual intervention, even for very large datasets (e.g., multiple terabytes).
Inability to seamlessly transfer assets between workspaces without manual downloads/uploads, causing workflow delays and increased risk of errors.
Desire for a closer, more collaborative relationship with their service provider to address evolving needs.
