Entertainment

The development and execution of a masterpiece is rarely a one-man-show. In fact, collaboration is a key component of success in the entertainment industry. Unfortunately, the entertainment industry is lagging 15-30 years behind in collaboration and document management technology.

If you want to prove my point, google couriers in New York or Los Angeles. There are way too many couriers that shuffle paper and jump drives back and forth, which is a perfect example of reliance on 30+ year old collaboration and document management methods.

Even if entertainment professionals have moved past couriers, many still rely on emails to transmit files. This is bad because emails are unreliable, not secure, and can be forwarded to any number of people. Exactly what you would expect from technology that peaked 15 years ago.

Today, the entertainment professionals who understand the benefits of working like it is 2017 use file storage tools like google drive, dropbox, and base camp the store and share files. Unfortuanately, these rudamentary tools leave a lot to be desired as far as security, revision control, document distribution, and review/approval workflows.

DocumenTools has taken the revision control and distribution practices from engineering and industrial fields (where a security breach or incorrect revision could cost a company millions of dollars) and applied them to entertainment. The result is the most secure, precise, and collaborative environment for the entertainment industry.
