global media organizations, enterprise users and individual

major new products at its largest-ever unveiling at an IBC

“At IBC2017, Avid is delivering on the promise of the cloud,
laid out just five months ago at Avid Connect 2017, to help our
customers and the industry at large better manage the disruptive
forces that have been bearing down on them for far too long, and
achieve new heights in creativity, efficiency and flexibility,”
said Avid Chairman and CEO Louis Hernandez, Jr. “Coming full
circle with all of our introductions this week at IBC, this is
precisely what we had envisioned after thousands of industry
professionals crystallized their priorities through the inaugural
Avid Customer Association vote to guide our strategic
priorities. Thanks to their collective voice, Avid is
innovating faster than ever to help them solve their most pressing
needs, and they should only expect to see us accelerate the
pace.”
