<p>Sega has replaced its Sharepoint system with Huddle's cloud collaboration software, supporting the development of games such as its iconic Sonic the Hedgehog series.</p><p>The software developer chose to implement Huddle to help improve collaboration tools between its UK and US teams, supporting communication between more than one hundred staff members across its geographically disparate workforce, as well as a number of contractors.</p><p>Sega said that it looked to Huddle to help avoid data being fragmented across its various teams, allowing them to keep track of content versions via audit trails. The collaboration software also allows Sega to reduce reliance on shared network drives, FTP and emails in its Digital Business team.</p><p>With a central repository of information, producers are able to manage milestones of games in development more effectively, allowing decision making staff to have a full overview of the status of projects, Sega said.</p><p><a href="http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=4F7EE270-9DC0-BBE6-DE162F13E95A1FD1">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.citeworld.com/cloud/21590/huddle-sega-america">This collaboration tool helped build the latest Sonic the Hedgehog game</a> (CITEworld)</p><p><a href="http://www.cloudpro.co.uk/saas/5389/sonic-hedgehog-maker-forms-huddle-cloud">Sonic the Hedgehog maker forms Huddle in the cloud</a> (Cloud Pro)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=djK2W5dEeJhXtwMlAPdW47wpZ5itM&ned=us">3 additional articles.</a></p>
