The Studio21 Solution Center

 

The Studio21 Solution Center focuses on trading animation, effect and editing software and hardware solutions and on the respective support activities. Distributed software include Adobe, Autodesk, Avid, Discreet, Macromedia, RealVIZ, Soft Image and Toon Boom products. Distributed hardware tools include 3Dlabs, Apple, Art Render, Bluefish444, Boxx tech, Cybermind, Iiyama, Matrox, Nvidia, Silicon Graphics and Wacom products.

 

As a result of our work a broad network of contacts with Hungarian studios and production companies has been established. Our company takes part in several beta testing programs of the major animation and effect software producers.

 

We have developed a young and talented professional team that is also able to implement new software and hardware technologies in a short time.

 

Activity

 

The market develops in an all-comprehensive way. The basis of our marketing activity is an up-to-date database with contacts to all major Hungarian players in the domestic post production and animation market. Continuously we appear in the respective Hungarian media and we have good connections with the press and other advertising companies. Yearly we inform the Hungarian expert community with 5000 direct mails.

 

We also publish our own "Design21" magazine 6 times a year, with complex functions of distributing specialized information and advertisement in the field of animation. The magazine also has an on-line version. Other marketing activities involve 2 major events with ca. 400-500 guests each and 20-25 smaller events. 

 

Sales

 

The sales activities are structured as follows: Each of our product line is managed by a dedicated sales manager and coordinated by the general manager. In this way a unified and adherent market policy is ensured. To the next line of professionals in sales belong the technicians, engineers and support experts connected to the individual product. These people are coordinated by the technical director. This group delivers the actual and detailed solutions according to the client’s needs together with consulting and support.

 

Financing

 

Together with one of Hungary's largest banks, we have successfully established a financial construction for the investment in high-value computer systems. Thus we can help our clients to finance with Hungary's cheapest leasing construction for the time being. Currently we are building up relations to western European co-operations for financing technology and production. These constructions will allow Hungarian enterprises short of capital to establish themselves in a competitive market position.

 

Consulting

 

As a logical continuation of the established base of Hungarian business partners and the accumulated knowledge in the field of post production, effect, and 3D animation, we are offering consulting and active outsourcing as a new service in our portfolio.

 

International post production and animation houses now can receive valuable information about the Hungarian production base and establish stable contacts for outsourcing purposes.
