SUCCESS STORY

Although they have their own Engineering department, it deals with several different solutions from several manufacturers and cannot meet all the requirements of the Render area because they are not produdency experts in the implementation of hardware and software.
On the other hand, Televisa requires to keep track of the use of Render resources by team, by artist and by schedule. Task completion reports require that they be sent to administrators' email addresses automatically.
Finally, Televisa required an expert resource in the administration of its software manager accounts to control the implementation of new versions of the software and the assignment of the licenses of the different products.
