Little Dot Studios

Little Dot Studios used a mix of third-party tools to create, edit and store video files.

The rapidly growing digital content provider wanted to deploy a single software-defined solution with seamless cloud integration.

CDW worked with partners pixitmedia, NetApp, and Dell to develop a new platform with the highest levels of flexibility and scalability.

The technology adoption means Little Dot Studios’ editors can work more efficiently to produce broadcast-quality material.

Little Dot Studios is an award-winning digital content agency and media network, initially based in London but now with offices globally.

It engages, grows and monetises digital audiences on social platforms and connected devices with data-driven content.

The company believes in creating meaningful and long-term connections with audiences for broadcasters, studios, rights holders and brands.

Little Dot Studios used a mix of third-party tools to create, edit and store video files. The rapidly growing digital content provider’s existing IT infrastructure was under pressure from the volume of content they were producing and new users entering the system. They wanted to deploy a single software-defined solution with seamless cloud integration.

They needed a solution that delivered exceptional useability, had increased automation, and was scalable for future growth.
