New integration between Helix Core and ftrack Studio provides version control, security, and traceability for digital assets

MINNEAPOLIS, August 5, 2020 – Perforce Software, a provider of solutions to enterprise teams requiring productivity, visibility, and scale along the development lifecycle, today announced a technology partnership with ftrack, a project management, production tracking, and media review platform used by teams in the creative industry.

The film, animation, and video game industries need to deliver stunning visuals. By integrating Helix Core and ftrack Studio, teams at these studios can improve collaboration on digital assets and accelerate creative workflows.

Perforce and ftrack are already partnering on an integration to help studios accelerate creative production workflows. Together these tools connect teams and give them faster access to the files they need.

“We’re excited to partner with ftrack,” said Brad Hart, CTO at Perforce. “The Helix Core and ftrack Studio integration delivers increased throughput, visibility, and traceability while securely storing and managing assets in a globally scalable and secure production workflow.”
