Avid

If you enjoy movies, television, music, video games, or virtually any other form of electronic media, you have almost certainly experienced the work of the content creators who use Avid solutions to bring their creative visions to life. Building on a concept that originated in a garage in Massachusetts in 1987, Avid has become the world leader in digital media creation tools for film, video, audio, animation, games, and broadcast professionals – as well as for home video and home audio enthusiasts. That original Avid spirit of innovation continues to this day, with increasingly powerful, integrated solutions that reflect the company’s dedication to quality and its longstanding commitment to empowering the creativity behind the world’s most widely recognized media.

The team at Avid was looking for a scalable and secure software platform that had been proven in the marketplace on multiple enterprise engagements. Avid wanted to redesign the look and feel of its community Web site and add new features requested by members, super users, and internal team members, all within a condensed timeframe.

By implementing the new Community Server 2008 platform, Avid was able to customize its forums (called Tips and Tutorials), establish more extensive blogs, offer a video exchange similar to YouTube®, modify and integrate various components with the Community Server media gallery, and customize a solution for its Member Points System and Monthly Content Winners (using a batch process and algorithm ratings formula).

Telligent performed the implementation, integration, and customization.

"Building on our rich history of innovation and leadership in the digital media production industry, we are shifting every aspect of our business to focus more explicitly on the needs of our customer community so that we can deliver new programs that offer greater relevance, appeal and value. Today is just the start of a longer-term effort to re-connect with customers and restore their confidence in our commitment to deliver what we promise." Kirk Arnold, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Avid Video.
