AlterMedia Ships Studio Suite Xi

AlterMedia today announced the immediate availability of Studio Suite Xi, the company's newly-updated studio management software. With Studio Suite Xi, AlterMedia is simplifying the process of running, organizing and managing vital workflows for production and post-production media environments.

With a completely refreshed interface, as well as iOS and web access, Studio Suite Xi's new build extends a studio's ability to manage critical workflows from the office, to the job site, and beyond. Studio Suite Xi presents an elegant and consistent user experience, focused on simplicity and clarity, while delivering features and workflow enhancements that eliminate the challenges of managing contacts, resources, schedules, budgets/actuals, and the thousands of other details that become unwieldy in day-to-day studio operations.

AlterMedia offers three versions of Studio Suite Xi: Solo, Pro, and Network, with web and iOS access available on all Network solutions.

We have a lot in common with our customers, we come from the same world. Every day, we're looking at ways to help our customers get away from the tedium of managing processes so they can get back to doing what they do best, says Joel Stoner, CEO and founder of AlterMedia. Studio Suite Xi represents our passion for simplicity as well as our commitment to improving our user's experience. We realize there are differences in every facility and every user. Our goal is to help you hit the ground running with Studio Suite Xi - from set-up, to configuring, to integration, or even customization. Studio Suite Xi helps creative people create!

At AlphaDogs, we work on a lot of different platforms - Mac, PC, tablets, even phones, so the fact that Studio Suite works on all these platforms really helps out, and our operators can check their schedules from homes, said Terence Curren, founder and president of AlphaDogs in Burbank, CA. One of the things I really like about Studio Suite is the continuous improvements over the years that weve been using it. With the new release, its clear well be using it well into the future.
