CARDIFF, UK — Object Matrix (https://object-matrix.com) and FlavourSys (www.flavoursys.com) have announced a partnership to deliver an integrated MAM to storage workflow. MatrixStore, the media focused private and hybrid cloud platform from Object Matrix, has been integrated with Strawberry, the production asset management tool from FlavourSys.
