• JULY 8, 2009Hansoft 5.3 successfully adopted by Harmonix
Harmonix Music Systems has successfully adopted Hansoft 5.3 including the new pipeline tool.
"As a rapidly growing studio we needed a server based project management solution that could support internally and externally driven projects and was easy to adapt to our iterative development process - Hansoft delivered. In the short time we have had Hansoft deployed, it has already increased productivity, communication and visibility across our entire team. The new pipeline and workflow tool has allowed Harmonix to automate many of our repetitive and time consuming production tasks into a streamlined process that the development team has direct interaction with," said Michael Verrette, Director of Production, Harmonix Music Systems.
Newly released Hansoft 5.3 has been developed in close collaboration with studios around the world and the pipeline tool is one of the new features that many developers have been waiting for.
"We wanted to find a way to take much of the heavy manual work out of managing asset pipelines, to make it more lean. Seeing how rapidly Harmonix has adapted the pipeline tool, I think we have succeeded. Harmonix is an expansive studio and Hansoft's flexible nature will allow them to grow as fast as they have to. I am really looking forward to following Harmonix in the future and to reaching new highs together," said Patric Palm, Hansoft CEO.
