BeBop Suite Now Available on Google Cloud

Bruce K. Long draws on more than three decades of experience in the media and technology sectors in his role as chief executive officer of BeBop Technology. Since founding the company, Bruce K. Long has worked to ensure that BeBop services are available on all public cloud platforms.

BeBop Technology first launched its post-production platform on Amazon Web Services in 2015. Since then, the company has made significant strides in making its platform available on all US public cloud platforms, securing an agreement with Microsoft Azure in early 2018 and with Google Cloud Platform in April 2018. With a presence on the three largest cloud platforms in the United States, BeBop’s innovative post-production suite is now available to more people than ever.

With BeBop, major content creators and production studios can create decentralized workspaces through the cloud; this allows creative professionals to collaborate on projects without having to physically be in the same space. Availability on Google Cloud Platform only serves to augment and enhance the company’s ability to provide this cutting-edge service.

BeBop Technology - Meeting Post-Production Needs as Industry Evolves

With an extensive background in technology and business development, Bruce K. Long guides BeBop Technology as CEO and founder. Bruce K. Long and his team are focused on offering post-production content creators and facilities with leading-edge cloud solutions that are cloud and software-tool agnostic. 

Speaking with the host of Digital Production BuZZ in 2017, Mr. Long described his firm’s service suite as reflecting “a decentralization of Hollywood” and an empowering of individuals within the post-production ecosystem. His company enables professionals around the world to accomplish mission-critical tasks, such as color-correction, video editing and special effects, using the BeBop platform. 

This has developed into a vital need, as the industry transitions to file formats that take significantly more data space, such as augmented-reality, 4K, and high-dynamic-range (HDR). These formats test the limits of what individual computers are capable of running, even at the high-end range. 

As an example, editing a 4K television show on a medium-sized laptop would require either a compressed-image or workaround that stresses the computer. With BeBop, the content creator gains access to real-time editing of 4K and even 8K video via the cloud. On the back end, the robustness of this service reflects extremely large cloud servers and data-transmission capabilities.

How Corporate Responsibility Impacts Employee Loyalty

Bruce K. Long, an experienced entrepreneur and entertainment industry professional, founded several technology-focused companies, including the boutique Effects Firm Muse VFX and a cloud based solution provider BeBop Technologies. Over his career, Bruce K. Long has held a number of senior executive positions and is a strong advocate of conscious and ethical workplace cultures. 

In the modern workplace where layoffs and lateral career moves are commonplace, employee loyalty is not guaranteed. The most competitive companies attract their workers through a strong company culture that emphasizes their role in benefiting their employees and the wider community. 

One way companies demonstrate their values is through corporate responsibility programs. This may include supporting local charitable causes or committing to environmentally-conscious business practices. These programs have a measurable impact on employee satisfaction and retention.

Workers from the ages of 24 to 35 are more likely to view the workplace as a venue for community service. Employers who support their employees' volunteer efforts or encourage their workers to participate in charitable events as a team can attract more talented candidates in this demographic.
