Deliver Value during COVID-19

Deliver Value during COVID-19

Customer challenge

Cinesite Vancouver was ramping up their Animation Studio for the Addams Family 2 feature film. They required both Autodesk Maya content creation seats for artists.

Project goals

To help Cinesite preserve their cash, CDW StudioCloud and Autodesk helped Cinesite transfer under-utilized Media & Entertainment Industry Collection licenses from their Cinesite Montreal VFX division. In parallel, CDW StudioCloud helped Cinesite trade-in expired perpetual licenses to obtain a 25% discount on new M&E Collection subscriptions.

Solution

Upon successful image test renders with Arnold, CDW StudioCloud recommended the M&E Collection for the bundle of Maya and Arnold (5 seats Arnold per M&E Collection).

Business outcome

Upon successful image test renders with Arnold, CDW StudioCloud recommended M&E Collection for the bundle of Maya and Arnold. In the midst of this project, Cinesite was impacted by COVID-19. To help Cinesite preserve their cash, CDW StudioCloud and Autodesk helped Cinesite transfer under-utilized M&E Collection licenses from their Cinesite Montreal VFX division. In parallel, CDW StudioCloud helped Cinesite trade-in expired perpetual licenses for new M&E Collection subscriptions.

Conclusion

Cinesite was able to save cash while transferring under-utilized M&E Collection licenses. They obtained a 25% discount on new M&E Collections, allowing them to grow during the COVID-19 pandemic.
