The founders and core team at Southpaw Technology Inc. all come from demanding production environments. Collectively, the Southpaw team has many years of very hands-on experience developing & designing production tools and software systems for dynamic creative environments. The production experience of Southpaw's team includes work on projects in the Full CG Animated Feature Film, Broadcast Episodic Television Animation, Feature Film Visual Effects and Video Game entertainment industries.

Founded in 2005, Southpaw Technology Inc. set out to solve the big problems that they all kept facing again and again throughout their years of experience in production. The key was to build a centralized software system to manage the creation and revision of assets, and to track related project & task information, providing a much needed structure for production pipelines.

In order to establish the right kind of solid foundation for such a system Remko Noteboom, Southpaw's CTO, spent several initial months focusing on architecting and building very key, core components right from the ground up. Armed with the experience of having built five previous generations of asset and production management systems (for large production facilities), Remko was able to truly hone the design & architecture for Southpaw's next generation system to be able to handle the growing needs & complexities of creative production environments.

Following up this important early architecture design phase, was a number of focused software development cycles by the Southpaw core team that culminated in the successful launch of Southpaw Technology's flagship product TACTIC™, in June of 2007.

 

“Our goal is to revolutionize the digital production business,” “We are committed to providing a robust asset management solution that is capable of managing highly complex projects and leading-edge [creative] work” - Remko Noteboom, CTO of Southpaw Technology

 

With TACTIC as their cornerstone, Southpaw Technology provides software solutions to simplify the digital asset management workflow for film production houses, design houses, video game studios and other organizations finding the complex interaction of thousands of models, images, and other digital assets to be a major problem threatening their budgets and deadlines.

 

“Currently, artists spend too much time just managing their files. With this task automated, think how much more time they can spend being creative and producing high-quality work.” - Remko Noteboom, CTO of Southpaw Technology

 

When it comes to project, work-flow and asset management, Southpaw Technology Inc. has introduced repeatable and standard controls, so that productions run more like a smooth running assembly line than a constant re-invention of the wheel.
