Cloud storage can accelerate your creative workflow—and save you significant money.

Some studios are hesitant to adopt Suite’s cloud storage. But it's really a no-brainer. Not only can it accelerate your creative workflow, it helps centralize all of your media in one place for everyone on your team, including remote employees, to access and edit from anywhere.

And there’s another significant benefit of utilizing Suite: significant cost savings on your studio’s bottom line. In this post we’re outlining five of the most important factors that highlight why adopting cloud-based storage with Suite can help you save big on studio expenses.

Stop Shipping Drives = Eliminate Recurring Costs

Shipping hard drives to collaborators or continuously buying new hard drives carries a hefty recurring cost. With Suite, you simply upload your data once to the cloud and your files become instantly available to every team member, wherever they are with WiFi. This is media sharing without shipping drives, downloading files, or having to incur charges over and over again for new hard drives. Plus, with Suite’s cloud storage for creative teams, you only pay for the storage you use, which can easily be scaled up or down to meet your project needs.

Avoid Hardware Upgrades = Save on Equipment Costs

On-premise NAS servers and high-end editing suites can demand significant up-front investment. While Suite integrates seamlessly with these enterprise-level systems to help ease the workload of local machines and ensure you’re getting the most out of your in-office setup, our cloud storage can also significantly benefit smaller teams. Consider Suite’s cloud storage when it’s time to upgrade your studio’s media sharing and storage workflow instead of another expensive local machine or SSD that you’ll have to entrust to the Postal Service.

No IT Department = Lower Overhead Costs

Some editors are tech-savvy. Some aren’t. At Suite, our product is designed to function as seamlessly as possible within your current workflow so everyone can easily tap into the power of cloud workflows. This means creative teams don’t need a dedicated IT department or “super nerd” on-staff to make Suite work. Our tech-savvy team takes care of the heavy-lifting involved with cloud workflows, so you can simply store, share, and edit your media without worry—and without having to pay a dedicated specialist to do the job for you.

Faster Work = Boost Your Bottom Line‍

For the creative studios, time equals money—the faster you can complete a project, the sooner you can start the next one. Suite’s cloud storage enabling teams store and share files instantly, which can dramatically speed up any workflow. Suite establishes a centralized, cloud-based hub for all of your media, so that anytime you press “save” on a file, it automatically updates on everyone’s device, no matter their location. The creative result? Your team can work more seamlessly from anywhere, collaborate with new creatives effortlessly. The business result? You’ll be hitting deadlines faster, taking on more projects, and cashing in on new opportunities.

It's time to dispel any lingering doubts or fears about the shift to cloud-based storage solutions. Suite can radically transform your studio's day-to-day, media-focused operations. Utilizing cloud storage, you'll no longer be bogged down shipping drives, or left scratching your head about how to allocate funding for burdensome equipment costs. Instead, you're offering your team the opportunity to focus on what they do best—creating. When your creatives are empowered to work in real-time, with remote access, without having to grapple with technical difficulties or delays, productivity can skyrocket. Suite is more than just a tech upgrade; it's a strategic workflow decision that can immediately (and positively) affect your bottom line.
