Atempo Signs MediaCast

Atempo S.A.S, announced the addition of MediaCast, technology provider to the Middle East broadcast, film and post-production communities, to its roster of certified partners. Headquartered in Dubai Media City, MediaCast will resell Atempo Digital Archive (ADA) to data-intensive environments across the media and entertainment industries.

MediaCast has been successful in establishing a strong distribution and sales network for Avid, Digidesign and M-Audio products in UAE. MediaCast has established a strategic partnership with Apple and is an appointed Apple Authorized Reseller and Apple Solution Expert.

The partnership supports Atempo’s growing momentum in the creative industry. It gives MediaCast customers the benefit of Atempo’s digital content archiving software solution that is designed to simplify the data management process and integrate into their project workflows. MediaCast will feature Atempo Digital Archive in its state-of-the-art demonstration facility and will also showcase the solution on its booth during CABSAT on March 2-4 in Dubai.

"With the digital film and video industry migrating to more data intensive high definition formats, most studios are now using Apple’s Final Cut Studio and Final Cut Server for content creation and management. We selected Atempo Digital Archive because it is a powerful and robust solution to protect and preserve valuable content throughout all stages of post-production and integrate well with Apple’s market leading applications," said Peyman Dadpanah, Business Director for MediaCast.

"The addition of MediaCast to our network of resellers reflects Atempo’s growing reach into the Middle East region. As one of the UAE’s most experienced technology providers for the broadcast and post-production industry, MediaCast offers a high degree of technical competence and a deep understanding of its customers’ priorities and processes. As such, partnering with such an established player represents a major milestone for Atempo and enhances our growing credentials in an important market. It also emphasizes Atempo’s commitment in providing best of breed digital content archiving solutions to our media customers in the Middle East region," said Fabrice de Salaberry, vice president of sales, EMEA & General Manager for Atempo S.A.S.
