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.
