The technology buying process is outdated and broken, but thankfully there is a solution to solve this – in the form of good people. In this fireside chat, two long-time partners (Hollywood’s leading data storage and services platform provider, OpenDrives, along with trusted systems integration and reseller, Key Code Media) will share the story of how they came together to help solve the data storage and networking problems of one prestigious post-production studio, Goldcrest Post.
From creatives to the technologists to the heads of facility and IT managers - nobody wants to deal with aging, broken infrastructure and complex workflow solutions, especially in the world of media and entertainment. When every minute counts, outdated technology that doesn’t work can cost you big time in terms of production slowdowns, missed deadlines and, worst of all, poor creativity. Do you remember hating on anything and everything that took you out of your flow state? Every creative does, and it’s hard to give unreliable technology second chances.
However, not everyone is technologically savvy enough to know how to fix this. And when time is ticking, it’s difficult to know where to go and what to buy next. You’re stuck.
This is where the power of a good partnership comes in. You see, nobody really wants to buy technology. Why? Because the whole experience sucks. It’s lengthy, unnecessarily complicated and distasteful even. Sales pitches aren’t always truthful, and the marketing messaging you see on a website is not often what you get. So how do you get past all the fluff and straight to the facts? First, you have to realize that you’re not actually seeking technology; you need people you trust and respect. A good partner won’t sell you on speeds and feeds. They’ll ask you about your challenges and collaborate with you to find the right solution - whether you need something to solve performance, security, interoperability, complexity, flexibility, scalability, and of course price.
We hope you enjoy our story so you too can find your perfect technology match with the power of a good partnership.
