Trying to maintain the same user experience that the artists would have in the studio when they're home working remotely was extremely important and Teradici allowed us to do that. User experience is at the top of the list for Atomic Cartoons.
Challenges
- Struggled to coordinate over 1000 employees in Vancouver, Ottawa, and Los Angeles, including remote employees during COVID
- Moving physical computer towers around for employees was cumbersome and inefficient
- They had strict production deadlines that they couldn’t miss due to a lack of productivity or remote work transitions
Solution
- Implementing Teradici CAS and moving to rack-mounted workstations for proper power, cooling, and safeguarding
- Providing artists with PCoIP Zero Clients (10ZiG, LG) to connect to the on-premises workstations
Results
- Communication between internal teams is easier and more convenient
- Studio clients were confident because they already trusted the security and reputation of Teradici solutions in the M&E industry
- Accelerated onboarding time from 2 years to 1 week during the pandemic
