BANGALORE, India – October 20, 2021-  Quantum Corporation announced the immediate availability of the Quantum Collaborative Workflow Solution powered by CatDV. This solution was designed specifically for Adobe Premiere Pro users to address the challenges of remote workflow editing and collaboration for large creative teams seeking maximum productivity.

The Quantum Collaborative Workflow Solution solves the challenge of creative teams needing highly reliable and scalable offerings for teams that are increasingly dispersed, with some members working onsite in an office or studio location and some working from a remote location.

The complete, integrated solution is installed and supported by Quantum Professional Services and reseller partners certified to install StorNext and CatDV.
