Avid and QSR Systems Strike 10-Year Subscription Agreement for Creative Tools Upgrade and Expansion for Leading Supplier to H...
September 17 2020 - 2:33PM
One of Hollywood’s top providers of post-production technology
rentals, QSR Systems, has entered a 10-year software subscription
agreement with Avid® (NASDAQ: AVID) to dramatically expand its
ability to readily supply creative tools to its film and broadcast
clients. QSR Systems’ new long-term subscription agreement doubles
the company’s available pool of Media Composer® editing system
licenses, available either on-premises or in the cloud. One of
Avid’s top resellers, MelroseMAC, was instrumental in establishing
this new agreement.
QSR Systems and Avid have been closely partnered for more than
15 years. This new agreement effectively transforms their ongoing
collaboration in order to better support the creative community’s
rapidly evolving content creation workflow needs. In addition to
leveraging Avid creative tools, QSR’s data management practice
delivers full-service content storage and asset management based on
Avid hardware and software solutions for short-term production
projects as well as long-term secure archiving.
“While we’re proud to serve the best and brightest creators in
media and entertainment, the way we go to work for these clients
absolutely has to help them to adjust to these changing times,”
Doug Cavaliere, President, QSR Systems. “We’re taking full
advantage of Avid’s subscription program to ensure we’ll retain the
flexibility our clients can rely on for a very long time to
come.”
“Today more than ever, studios and broadcasters need fast access
to highly cost-conscious and flexible solutions through close
partners that are ready to change how they’re collaborating to help
keep production commitments on track,” said Tom Cordiner, Chief
Revenue Officer, Avid. “QSR Systems has now gone much further to
cement its value to Hollywood’s creative community. At Avid, we’re
very pleased that our subscription offerings are being put to work
to give new strategic strength to key players in the media and
entertainment ecosystem like QSR Systems.”
