Marquis' Project Parking Receives Avid Certification

Marquis Broadcast has announced that it has been chosen as an Avid Alliance Partner. In addition, the company's Project Parking – which is used to cost-effectively manage Avid storage – has been certified by Avid, and distributed through its sales channels.

"This is a major development for Marquis," said Chris Steele, Managing Director, Marquis Broadcast. "Over the years, we have developed Project Parking to become a complete Avid storage management solution. It has been used around the world to archive, move and restore Avid projects and to analyse and manage media to optimise Avid storage utilisation. Project Parking analyses all Avid projects and media to identify which projects are using up most space and then take appropriate action to transfer, archive or delete. We are delighted now to join the Avid Alliance Partner program to help more customers manage their Avid projects and media."

"We're committed to working with solutions partners to provide innovative technologies and outstanding interoperability for both our users and to the digital media industry," commented Alan Hoff, vice president, Market Solutions, Avid. "We are pleased to welcome Marquis Broadcast as an Avid Alliance Partner. Our many joint customers will benefit from the certified integration of Marquis' Project Parking to facilitate their archive and retrieval workflows."

Mr Steele added: "Avid's certification process lets organisations know that suppliers are working closely together. This means upgrades are smoother as major product enhancements are coordinated between manufactures to achieve tighter technical integration for the benefit of our customers."
