Data flow and management

Although a large part of the production is taking place in Bombay the actual artists are spread in locations as far as Montreal, Canada.

To ensure all artists are part of the process and the flow of data is smooth we devised a system where finished jobs are uploaded to a central server.
The person in charge of approving the art work has access to these files and only he allows the job to pass to the next team.
The next team on the line picks up the job and adds their value to the project and similarly their head allows the process to go ahead.

What this allows us to do is have a visual understanding of the process while being able to keep track of teams and their progress.
For us this system is imperative only due to the geographic differences, we would still prefer central data controls but minimize the number of individual milestones.
