Turn any standard NAS
into a complete managed workflow system.

Las Vegas—Tiger Technology, innovative developer
of advanced shared-storage workflow solutions, today announces the introduction
of Project Serve, a standalone Workflow Manager that can turn any standard NAS
device into a complete managed-workflow system. Designed for digital production
environments of all sizes and scope, Project Serve provides a simple way to
create users and workspaces, and control access to media files on
shared-storage. Simply connect Project Serve to a NAS and use the artist and
editor friendly Tiger web user interface to create and manage production
workflows.

Tiger
Technology will be demonstrating Project Serve at the 2016 NAB Show in Las Vegas,
Booth (SL13613).

Project Serve represents a low-cost, easy-to-deploy solution
for post-production facilities, editing companies, design studios and others
seeking to improve collaboration while controlling access to sensitive media
files. “No other workflow manager is so easy and complete,” says Tiger
Technology founder and CTO Alexander
Lefterov.

Project Serve is cross application and cross platform. It
works with Mac, Windows and Linux. It emulates the Avid file system, and
enables Final Cut Pro X network editing. Users can create local teams or
connect with an Active Directory.

Project Serve meets the needs of a production industry where
workflows are growing increasingly complex. Today’s production environments
require more than the ability to share files among multiple users; they need
fully-integrated workflow management to control access to assets internally and
with third parties. Conventional NAS storage devices lack such management
capabilities, IT-style solutions are overly complex, and turnkey products are
too costly for many producers. Project Serve bridges the gap, providing
sophisticated storage and project management tools in a platform that’s easy to
use and that producers can afford.

“Project
Serve addresses workflow issues in a simple, plug-and-play device,” observes
Lefterov. “It requires no special training to operate. Users can begin managing
their data from day one.” Lefterov adds that producers who currently own NAS
devices can add Project Serve and gain the benefits of sophisticated media
management without having to invest in new storage infrastructure.

Project Serve employs the same code base as Tiger Technology’s
integrated workflow solution projectStore PRO. projectStore PRO is used by
digital production studios worldwide to manage workflows, including such top creative
shops as Envy Post Production,
Teleparis and Splash. Triangle Post, Toronto, is using the system to manage
workflows for a number of reality TV productions, including The Amazing Race Canada and Chopped Canada. The system controls an
environment composed of 10 editors and encompassing editing, grading, finishing
and mastering operations.

“It’s
proven technology,” says Lefterov. “It’s being used by facilities big and small
in real world production and performing flawlessly.”
