During the pandemic, traditional film and television studios were unable to operate as normal, causing delays in many major productions. Many projects turned to virtual production methods to keep their projects on time and deliver new content for high demand outlets such as streaming services. At the same time, 55% of people turned to video games for entertainment during lockdowns. This led to an increased demand for solutions that could support increased collaboration with security and scale to meet customer demand.

Helix Core, used by leading projects and studios to provide secure asset management and team collaboration for projects of any size, grew its virtual production and gaming vertical by 50% in 2020. Pandemic expansion drove the number of Helix Core customers to over 4,000 across the globe.
