BURLINGTON, Mass., Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avid , the global leader in software solutions for professional media production, today announced it has completed the acquisition of Wolftech Broadcast Solutions, the industry leader in cloud-based multiplatform news planning, production and publishing solutions.
The acquisition enables Avid to combine its digital-first, end-to-end media solution with Wolftechs expertise in story-centric workflow management. News organizations will be able to increase efficiency and accelerate story delivery through enhanced remote collaboration and multiplatform amplification.
Avid CEO Wellford Dillard stated: This is an exciting moment. Wolftech is unquestionably on the leading edge of where the industry is going, and this acquisition demonstrates Avids commitment to transform news, sports, and live production workflows. We are delighted to welcome Wolftech into the Avid family.
Wolftech CEO Arne Berven added: We were focused on finding a partner that could accelerate the adoption of our platform globally. We explored a number of possibilities, but when we talked to Avid, we knew it was the right match.
The closing of the acquisition follows Avid's announcement on October 7 that the company had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Wolftech.
With this acquisition, Avid deepens the integration between the two toolsets while continuing to embrace an open approach in partnering with a wide range of media production tools and newsroom systems.

Wolftech has transformed the way our journalists work and collaborate across our multiple newsrooms and platforms. We see deeper integration with Avid MediaCentral as the next logical step in bringing a single pane of glass newsroom solution to life and see this acquisition as a very positive way to accelerate that.
Dillard added: This acquisition strengthens Avids position in the news market and confirms our commitment to deliver best-in-class solutions that empower news organizations to thrive in todays fast-paced digital landscape. Together, Avid and Wolftech will enable news production teams to accelerate storytelling - from pitch to publish.
