For us, this deal is kind of a no brainer. We have a Symphony that we've
been using for finishing on promo work. We have three Avid MC seats that
are in the promo department and four FCP doing spot and other work.
Now, we can grab new Symphony licenses for the promo department,
alleviating any CC bottleneck and move the MC licenses to the FCP seats on
Konas.
