Agence Surf, a creative marketing communications agency based in Paris, France, faced a significant challenge when the COVID-19 pandemic forced a shift to remote work. The agency, known for its expertise in branding, packaging, and digital marketing, relied heavily on Extensis’s font manager Universal Type Server (UTS) for their creative projects. However, the work-from-home requirements disrupted their workflow as managing updates to UTS on their server hardware became a productivity hurdle. The team needed continuous access to their fonts in UTS, which meant they had to stay connected to their VPN all the time. This led to a slower workflow, especially when working in memory-intensive design apps through their VPN. The agency recognized this situation as unsustainable and sought a solution that could provide flexible font management, eliminate font-related errors, and remove chaos from their creative process.
