AQUA
Aqua is to broadcasters what Microsoft Office is to the rest of the business world. What does this mean? Well, Aqua is a range of software applications designed by Suitcase TV to tackle specific tasks that, as a broadcaster, you will need to do everyday.
Each application is simple to use and, across the Aqua range of applications, there is a consistent style and feel of operation making it very easy for the user to become accustomed to each new task. Aside from the ease of operation, a key attraction of Aqua is that each module can be acquired and run separately or combined with other modules to design your own system of working. This makes Aqua a sensible alternative to more sophisticated workflow systems or even as an add-on to existing systems.
