Media Production Teams Coordinating Marketing Workflows
Company Situation
The company operates within the media production industry, managing multiple teams that handle marketing and company project workflows. Their team structure includes account executives and senior sales leadership, with a focus on coordinating creative assets and project files across departments. They handle a variety of file types and require a stable, cloud-based system for file sharing and collaboration.
Existing Workflow
Currently, the company hosts all project files in the cloud and relies heavily on cloud storage for sharing and collaborating on assets. Their marketing team utilizes collections, tagging, and review workflows to manage and approve creative content. They have experimented with integrating on-site NAS systems with their cloud cache but encountered difficulties. Their existing workflow depends on stable internet connectivity and runs into challenges when offline access or uninterrupted file synchronization is needed.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
The company faces concerns primarily around stability and offline access. Key pain points include:
Uncertainty about the reliability of offline pinning and caching, which is critical when internet connectivity fails.
Difficulty connecting on-premises NAS storage with cloud cache, limiting seamless access to files across workflows.
Managing data traffic to avoid interruptions during uploads and downloads.
Ensuring that all project files remain accessible and backed up in one centralized location without downtime during collaboration.
Support for atypical or less common media file types within their workflows.
