Company

Southpaw Technology was founded in Toronto, Canada in 2005 by Gary Mundell and Remko Noteboom, two veterans of the computer graphics industry. Their business sprung from the founder's extensive experience developing software solutions for Alias/Wavefront and from working on full CG animated feature film projects, broadcast episodic TV animation, feature film visual effects and video game projects. It was through their work that they recognized the need for a production asset management system that was powerful enough to manage thousands of assets, flexible enough to work in a range of production environments, and friendly enough for team members at all levels to use. And so TACTIC was born.

By 2008, Southpaw realized that the benefits of its solution extended far beyond the media and entertainment (M&E) world, to organizations of all sizes. The immense datasets, the multitude of workflows, the disparity of systems and databases, and the complexities of moving data across organizations, required tools that only TACTIC could provide. The only piece that was missing was interoperability with Oracle databases, which came in 2009.
Today, TACTIC is used to manage assets and workflows across many world-class M&E companies and business enterprises, including Ubisoft, Digital Domain, O Entertainment, and Lockheed Martin.
