NXN announce new education programme for the UK

NXN Software, the leading supplier of asset management solutions for the digital entertainment and computer graphics industries, have announced a new education programme aimed at introducing budding CG artists and developers to the essentials of asset, production and software configuration management.
By making their NXN alienbrain Studio system available to educational institutions at a greatly reduced price, NXN will enable schools and universities to train their students in one of the industry's most widely used asset and software configuration management tools in preparation for their future career.
"NXN counts many of the UK's most successful games developers amongst our customers - Lionhead Studios, Argonaut Games and Warthog to name but a few," commented Steve Tyson, Vice President Sales, NXN Software Ltd. "By offering NXN alienbrain Studio as part of their course, therefore, institutions are not only encouraging best practice in their students but are also better equipping them for a future career in the games and CGI industry."
Liverpool's John Moores University will be one of the first institutions in the UK to include asset management in its syllabus, with plans to install NXN alienbrain Studio in time for the next academic year's intake of students.
