Tactic Studio was developed by Toronto-based Southpaw Technology Inc. specifically for the media and entertainment market. The tool can be used to monitor production schedules and organise assets in the pipeline.

Toon Boom Animation wants to integrate selected features and technologies into new Manager software, and the solution’s architecture is intended to strengthen the company’s new asset-management and production-tracking tools and products.

As part of the acquisition agreement, it was also decided that Southpaw would continue to develop and distribute the Tactic Workflow content-management application. You can determine the price of the tool using Southpaw Technology’s calculator.

All further information about Tactic Studio, now Toon Boom Manager, can be found on Toon Boom’s website.
