Other Engineering Activities:
- The Media Services Architecture Group (MSAG), a working group of AMWA, is responsible for providing information on architectures and best practices for enterprise-level software technology in digital media workflows. MSAG will fulfill its mission through the production of reference documents, educational information, examples, and specifications where applicable. The group will continually seek to leverage existing technologies and standards from other industries wherever possible. As appropriate, they will produce MS, IS or AS docs.
- Online file repository, product registration and compliance reporting
