For years, people have been asking. They say, “Scraster, when are going to do a video for an online product that effectively eliminates the expenses associated with traditional off-site and on-site tape storage and tracking methods?” We were almost getting tired of hearing the question when we were approached by Rocket Software, the parent company of Servergraph and makers of a product called Tape Vault Expert. TVE does just this.
In all seriousness, when Rocket came to Scraster, we knew nothing about tape storage. We were familiar with the ubiquitous Iron Mountain trucks on the road, but that’s about it. One of the beauties of professional screencasting is learning about so many different areas of business… like tape management. In the course of a few conversations and the exchange of few emails with photo attachments, Scraster figured out the best way to approach the subject visually. Scraster’s lead animator Rory Campbell fired off some rough sketches to the client to make sure we were on the right track. A week or so later, we had transformed the client’s vision into an reality. The animation Rory creatively crafted would serve as the needed conceptual introduction to support the walkthrough of the Tape Vault Expert interface. The client will be the first to admit that the UI of the TVE interface is far from sexy, but in terms of function, TVE gets the job done better than anything on the market and this screencast effectively demonstrates exactly how for potential customers.
We’re happy to have learned something new and interesting about an industry we’d otherwise never come across and Rocket Software was/is very happy with their video. Scraster will likely be producing some videos for other Rocket/Servergraph products in the coming months.
