About The Customer
Anne Dern is a prolific composer whose work spans across film, television, and video games. Her credits include the Warner Bros./Skydance blockbuster Geostorm, ABC's Galavant, and Microsoft's HALO V: Guardians. Her music ranges across various genres, from jingles to film score arrangements of pop songs by songwriters Sia and Chris Braide, and even theme park rides in Korea and China. Dern has collaborated with notable composers like Klaus Badelt and Christopher Lennertz, as well as filmmakers such as Julien Kerknawi and Enrico Natale. She values versatility in her work and the tools she uses, which led her to adopt Sibelius Ultimate for her music composition needs.
The Challenge
Anne Dern, a renowned composer for film, television, and video games, was faced with the challenge of working within the fast-paced Hollywood environment. This required her to produce perfect takes on short notice and ensure a quick turnaround. The software tools available to her at the time lacked the intuitive look and feel necessary for rapid music creation. Many of the functions and features were more complicated than necessary, hindering her ability to work efficiently. Additionally, Dern sought a high degree of customization for her score layouts to create unique charts for film scoring sessions, which differ significantly from symphonic performances. Given the high cost of film cue recording sessions and the limited time available, it was crucial for her to provide performers with flawless and easy-to-follow music.
The Solution
Dern found her solution in Avid Sibelius Ultimate, a music notation software that offered the versatility and intuitive interface she needed. The software's features, such as Dynamic Parts and Magnetic Layout, allowed her to create scores in her preferred formats with ease. Sibelius Ultimate also provided the customization she sought for her score layouts, enabling her to create unique charts suitable for film scoring sessions. This helped ensure that the performers had flawless and easy-to-follow music, thereby optimizing the recording sessions. Furthermore, the software allowed Dern to create her own Manuscript Papers and libraries of customizable sounds and samples, enhancing her creative freedom. Sibelius Ultimate's ability to create dynamic, expressive playback samples also proved beneficial in showcasing her work and attracting new opportunities.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
