BASINGSTOKE, ENGLAND—After initially announcing the acquisition back in April, EditShare has finalized its deal to acquire QC specialist Quales. As part of the acquisition, EditShare will integrate Quales’ QC technology into the EditShare product portfolio, including advanced integration with the Flow media asset management platform.

With the QC integration into Flow, users will have an intuitive visual aid to spot-check content. Flow users can systematically QC content at any point across the workflow as opposed to the traditional process of QC checks prior to distribution.

EditShare will also offer the standalone Quales QC technology from a network of global resellers.

BOSTON—Shared storage and media management system provider EditShare has announced its purchase of Quales, a QC specialist. The closing of the transaction and its final details are expected to be announced during the 2017 NAB Show.

“We are really excited about bringing the Quales team on board,” said James Richings, managing director of EditShare. “We have a strong vision for integrated and automated QC applications throughout our Flow PAM platform. Quales brings a solid technology base and a strong product team, which will help us deliver a new and innovative approach to QC workflows over the coming year.”

The companies will be located in the same booth during the NAB Show, SL9716.
