West Digital Post Production Customer Story<\/h1>\n

\u201cWe had our own branded http-based website and FTP server which was used for sharing files. \u00a0It worked well until last year when suddenly file sizes got bigger because everyone was pushing HD around and generally people were sending more things via the internet.\u201d said Peter Zacaroli, Managing Director at West Digital Post Production.\u00a0 \u201cPeople are expecting to deliver things to us in high quality, easily, and without having to compress it.\u00a0 Before it was 100 – 500 MB, now the files we see are 5 – 6 GB.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

West Digital was in search of a solution to a new and ever-increasing problem. \u00a0File sizes had grown past what their internal FTP and regular HTTP-based servers could handle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe looked at other solutions like Aspera and Signiant but they were consistently high (around $20k) in upfront costs.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t transfer enough to justify those costs and our clients wouldn\u2019t pay to utilize that sort of thing at that cost.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fortunately for us, this led their team to MASV.io whose billing model and price point fit their needs. West Digital\u2019s client base is roughly a 50\/50 split between corporate clients and broadcasters. \u00a0When working with broadcasters they leverage the broadcasters\u2019 in-house delivery tools such as Aspera or Signiant (we hope to change this) and the broadcasters cover the costs. For everything else there\u2019s MASV.io. \u00a0When a client doesn\u2019t have a license to the more expensive solutions or when they are dealing with a more restrictive IT environment (strict firewalls that block UDP or inability to install software) they use MASV because it\u2019s browser-based and sends data over TCP which is more firewall friendly.\u00a0 West Digital uses MASV to deliver files to their partners for collaboration, between their offices, and for final deliveries to their corporate clients. At $0.15 per GB the cost is easily built into project quotes and West Digital can even markup the transfer costs to cover or turn a profit on a service that takes resource time to deliver. Before MASV.io West Digital was delivering these types of transfers on hard drives which was both costly and inconvenient. MASV has been able to reduce the amount of hard drives West Digital ships by 80%.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us it was a big deal that it was just a per GB charge. Per GB we can charge on to our clients with a markup. We don\u2019t have a big commitment up front and that was important.\u00a0 With Aspera their minimum bandwidth usage was quite large and the cost per GB was very high.\u00a0 Finally, someone is doing accelerated file transfers that are not ridiculously expensive.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Aside from cost savings what Peter says MASV really delivers to West Digital is predictability for their file transfers and peace of mind that their transfer will have consistently high performance and a problem free experience. \u00a0Peter had this to say about time-savings:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe spend less time waiting for files to transfer and the recipients spend less time waiting to receive them, it really just feels much faster. \u00a0We are then able to move on to other parts of our business sooner. \u00a0We\u2019re happy to pay for that at a reasonable price which MASV is. \u00a0There is a sweet spot where if it takes 20 minutes to send a file versus 1 hour at the rates we pay for MASV, versus free, MASV rates are good enough that we don\u2019t worry about paying for it to gain the productivity.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another reason Peter has been a MASV customer for over a year:<\/p>\n

\u201cOngoing it\u2019s been the support that has kept us with you, the feeling that someone we trust is there, and the fact that you are constantly developing new features. Your recent portals feature has been quite popular and worked well for us\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lastly, we asked Peter how he would feel if MASV no longer existed:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be a right pain because I would have to find someone else to do it! \u00a0You guys have the right price point and right attitude and you help me make my life easier for moving files around. \u00a0I don\u2019t think at this moment anyone else has quite the market that you have. \u00a0Aspera and the others who are chasing large enterprise clients are not interested in companies like ours and you really make us feel that we are important to your business.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s hard to find such loyal early adopters in SaaS businesses but West Digital Post Production is a customer that MASV is proud to have using our product.
