ZDF Digital needed more than new production storage.

They needed a system that could scale with their team, enable remote workflows, and eliminate the manual bottlenecks slowing down post-production. 🎬

Since implementing Strawberry, they've automated archiving, freed up edit suites for active production, and expanded usage across departments: from motion design to subtitling to sign language.

New users are fully operational in 15 minutes.

"It's not like we were just customer and vendor: we were one team that we had a problem to solve." said Christian Koch, former Head of IT, ZDF Digital

Remote access is useful. Immediate file access is better.
But for post-production teams, access alone is not the full workflow.

Projective's integration with LucidLink is designed around a practical need: giving distributed teams fast access to media while keeping projects structured, controlled, and workable.

In real terms, that means:
⚡️ Editors can access files without waiting for full downloads
🤝 Teams can work from shared project structures, not scattered folders
💻 IT can support distributed workflows with fewer manual workarounds
📈 Projects can stay organized as teams scale across locations
☁️ Cloud storage becomes part of the workflow, not a separate handoff point

The key detail is 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦. Without it, cloud workflows can recreate the same on-prem chaos in a different place.

Many post-production teams struggle because they’re trying to force a MAM, designed for archiving, distributing, and tracking finished assets, to handle the dynamic, messy reality of active creative projects.

Think of it this way: You wouldn't try to cut a prime steak with a spoon. 🥩🥄

While a MAM is a destination for final content, a Production Asset Management (PAM) system is the workspace for your creative team. It is designed to live right where your editors work: on high-performance shared storage, and to manage the "messy stuff" that M**s don't handle well.

Our MAM vs PAM blog tells you how to:

💡 Understand the distinction: M**s are for finished assets; PAMs are for active projects.

👷🏼‍♂️ Stop the workarounds: Quit trying to make your MAM "crawl" your production storage or act as a gatekeeper that slows down your creative flow.

🤝 Better together: At scale, you don't need to choose one or the other. Use a PAM (like Strawberry) to handle high-speed production, and let your MAM do what it does best: long-term archive and monetization.

This is one of the key points that came out from our TELUS Studios case study.

When production teams are under pressure, small points of friction add up fast:

💥 Unclear project access
💥 Manual setup steps
💥 Time lost finding the right media
💥 Engineers pulled into repeat support requests
💥 Handoffs that depend too much on tribal knowledge

Projective’s Production Asset Management solution, Strawberry, helped TELUS Studios streamline those daily processes, so the production team could work with less friction and IT could support them more effectively.

For engineers and IT teams, that is often the real test: does the system reduce avoidable support load, or create more of it?

"𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘃𝘀. 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀."

That is the difference between waiting on internal IT helpdesks and managing creative infrastructure with Strawberry Skies.

We often hear from producers asking the same question: "How do I onboard a freelancer and give them access to the right data without the headache?"

The answer is simple when you have the right foundation. By combining Strawberry Skies' creative project framework with the performance of LucidLink, we’ve made "storage questions" disappear.

We’ve published a new deep dive into why this combination is the gold standard for enterprise creative teams, providing the structure and governance IT demands, with the lightning-fast, local-drive performance that creatives need.
