POST
advantage over us. That’s why collaboratively if we were to do it, it could benefit us all. And it could follow the sun and be globally available.
We’ve currently got a production starting over in Canada which is brilliant for us, based on the time difference. We are a facility that is typically much busier overnight processing the days shoot, whether its digital mags or film cannisters. Our business always has capacity during the day time, because our model is processing the day’s shoot overnight.

BULL: What we care about is UK post continuing to be a centre of excellence. Where the threat is tax breaks happening internationally. It’s not about competing between UK post houses. What we care about is that that work stays in the UK and the chance that we’re going to get the next job and the next job.
And if we were smart about it, we could look at that collaborative, collective requirement and say how do we create our own post private cloud. It’s what Sohonet did 20 years ago for distribution.

If we had the same function for compute and storage, the need for 50 suites to be dialed- up wouldn’t matter because we’ve got 10,000 available.
Rather than all of us independently trying to work out what our peak capacity is and have our metrics that we only build to 70 or 80%, we collectively look at it as communal peak capacity. And we still have the talent and the relationship, and I think that’s what we might all have left. And we are very collegiate in Soho.
STROUS: Adrian’s holistic idea is a good idea. Looking much further forward, the model that I’m looking for us to move to is a co-located model where we can have our own physical team and spin up to the cloud with minimal latency.

MCGUINESS: Soho Cloud? It’s an interesting idea but you can’t help feeling that it’s a rich area for conflict as well as collaboration, not to put too fine a point on it. But worth considering.
