Avid and QSR Systems Strike 10-Year Subscription Agreement for Creative Tools Upgrade and Expansion for Leading Supplier to Hollywood's Production Community

--

QSR Systems, one of Hollywood's top providers of post-production technology rentals, 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.
