DMC for Creativity

As the name suggests, the Digital Media Core, is designed with creative, digital media companies in mind. This includes computer game developers, software studios, animation houses, multimedia labs or digital art studios.

Our core team have worked in and launched several multimedia and development studios over the years and know the tricks that can make your working life so much easier. We give you those little godsend applications and techniques that make you wonder how you got along without them. The Digital Media Core is designed to offer all of the software support systems your studio requires to get down to the creative business at hand, with no fuss and no complications.

By using the best of breed open source solutions and integrating them into a package with a single sign-on we can offer an infrastructure system that is easy to use, convenient, offers modular components, evolves to suit your needs and is a fraction the cost of many other integrated solutions.

The DMC in operation

Everything you need:

• Workflow management — tracking a series of nested and interdependent tasks and allowing users to set a priority. We understand that modern digital projects need to come together fast.
• Project management — looking at the bigger picture, combining deadlines with available resources and time estimations. If you have moved to Scrum and Agile methodology, the DMC project management will not only accommodate your approach, but will help keep everything on track in your iterative work environment.
• Complete communications — including email, shared calendaring, instant messaging, voice over IP and even video conferencing.
• Versioning — to keep track of all of the changes on your project, to allow users to work in parallel on the same files, to allow new branches to be created or merged, and any problematic code to be easily rolled back.
• Asset management — to track, filter and sort assets as they are created and stored for use in projects.
• Wiki system — which will soon become a pool of shared knowledge that saves hours of backtracking and re-inventing the wheel, and puts all of your project’s documentation within reach of the people how really need it.
• Distributed networking and file storage —for working across multiple servers or server clusters (or studios).
• Community building tools — we also provide a complete front and back-end for a complete community-based website including forums, blogs and social networking, giving you everything you need to build a supportive community pre-launch and beyond. You can read more about our community-building tools here.

Making your life easier:

• Single sign on — enter one user name and password to enter the system and then just work, without having to log into every separate application. Of course, we can still isolate programs for extra layers of security.
• Security and stability — the first priory of the DMC is to be safe and reliable. Our software meets rigorous industry standards and is trialled for its ability to work together and without difficulties.
• Hosted services or as an install — for ultimate convenience, Binary Culture will host your entire DMC suite, allowing you to simply log into the system and use it, while the BC team maintains all of the required hardware, and infrastructure software. Alternatively, your company can host all of infrastructure on its systems and still benefit from full Binary Culture technical support.
• A complete infrastructure solution or an expansion to your current system — the DMC is completely modular and complies to popular industry standards, meaning it can be your one-stop solution or supply just the functionality that you require.

Understanding Your Requirements

Having a background in digital content creation, the team at Binary Culture also understand the workflow of the high-paced and creative industry, how things need to fit together and that a feature isn’t useful unless everyone involved in the creation process from managers, to team leaders, art directors and artist actually use it.
We understand the importance of a free flowing ideas culture as well as technical requirements. We help you find that culture, and that technology.
