Breaking news - Square Box Systems wins Queen’s Award for Enterprise with CatDV software

London, 26th April 2012 – UK Software company Square Box Systems has been awarded a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation Category for CatDV, its media asset management and workflow tool for use in video post-production.

This most prestigious British industry award is the highest official UK award available to businesses. The awards are conferred by HM Queen Elizabeth II every year on her birthday, April 21, to recognise and encourage commercial

success resulting from outstanding innovative achievements by business units in the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. To win an award the business must be able to demonstrate substantial growth in areas of performance and commercial success, and will be assessed on invention, performance, marketing & distribution, and after sales support.

When production deadlines are tight, and budgets tighter still, CatDV is the cost-effective, flexible solution to the challenges of managing a large number of media assets.

Cross-platform and highly scalable, and now with enhanced automation capabilities to simplify the most complex workflows, CatDV meets the needs of everyone from individuals to studios and large production houses.
