ERA appointed by Mantrics Digital Video as UK channel partner
30 August 2011 – London, Manchester & Rome: ERA Ltd has signed a UK channel partnership agreement with Rome-based Mantrics Digital Video, a leading international provider of broadcast and post-production workflow management solutions.
ERA is an experienced IT infrastructure and application reseller specialising in Post Production, Broadcast and Media with offices in Soho, London and MediaCityUK, Manchester. ERA is partnered with many industry-leading brands worldwide to provide and support leading solutions to its customers in the UK and across EMEA.
In partnership with ERA, Mantrics is now able to bring its flagship product, MANTRICS Workflow Manager, to the UK market with full local service and support. MANTRICS Workflow Manager is a totally web-based solution for media asset management (MAM), workflow automation and project planning, which allows users to control effectively media assets, projects and resources, both technical and human – all through a single platform. Unlike other solutions on the market that impose a code-based workflow onto existing operations, MANTRICS Workflow Manager offers an off-the-shelf solution based on customers’ own specific business processes. It provides users with an open architecture and extensive suite of tools that efficiently automates key processes and joins up operational islands – optimizing operator skills, enhancing performance and improving quality control.
“Our clients face the daily challenge of delivering more for less – both in terms of time and money, says Sean Baker, ERA Technical Director. “In addition, they must adapt their workflows and processes to support the file-based operations and demands of their customers. MANTRICS Workflow Manager will give our clients real-time strategic advantage, eliminating bottlenecks in even the most complex workflow. It will enable them to handle more jobs, more effectively, more quickly and with less error – freeing up their valuable creative resources to do what they do best.”
“ERA is a provider of high-end storage platforms and creative computing solutions to the post-production market, which compliments our open architecture media-centric workflow solutions. The company mirrors Mantrics’ customer-driven, customer-responsive approach and their proven ability to deliver and support complex solutions makes ERA an ideal addition to our expanding network of international distribution partners,” adds Carlo Struzzi, Mantrics Sales Director.
At IBC 2011 (9-13 September, RAI Centre, Amsterdam), Mantrics Digital Video (Stand 7.A09) will be showcasing new and enhanced features on its flagship product, MANTRICS Workflow Manager. The new features contribute to make the solution even more user-friendly and include: a dashboard interface, user scope definition, adaptive streaming, new workflow elements and the ability to ingest from multiple formats.
