Southpaw Technology has released version 2.0 of Tactic, its digital asset management system for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux systems. New project tools allow artists to explicitly define and visually streamline software pipelines, improving efficiency and workflow within multiple departments, says Southpaw Chief Technical Officer Remko Noteboom.
New and improved features in Tactic 2.0 include:
° New project customization tools to individualize projects or fine-tune current productions;
° A new visual, node-based pipeline editor intended to visually create pipeline processes;
° A new tactic browser and custom view builder, designed for creation of custom views within the Tactic web interface;
° A client application programming interface (AIP) enhanced to control every aspect of Tactic directly from custom scripts and in-house studio tools.
Tactic 2.0 sells for a suggested retail price of US$895 per user. This includes all software upgrades and technical support for the first year. Ongoing upgrades and support may be purchased for $185 per user, per year. Tactic is licensed per “active user”—meaning a studio can assign as many user accounts as they need; only those that are set as active by the Tactic administrator require a license.
