STRATEGY
MANAGING THE COMPANY’S
KNOW-HOW
In the video game industry, knowing how to leverage the knowledge
and skills of each individual and ensuring they are transferred
from one person to another is fundamental. At Ubisoft, teams
are constantly looking to improve collaborative processes to
ensure that budding ideas become reality.
To support Ubisoft’s knowledge management strategy, asset
databases (sound, textures, graphics, etc.) and web-based colla-
borative work spaces have been set up to facilitate information
sharing and help the group realize important productivity gains.
The Academy of Experts, an internal think-tank that draws upon
the knowledge of the company’s many experts, is another exam-
ple of collaboration and sharing at Ubisoft. Meetings are organi-
zed on an ad hoc basis to address a wide variety of topics from
technical difficulties encountered in development to organizatio-
nal challenges. Participants have the opportunity to exchange
best practices and experiences.
Lights, Camera,
Action! Ubisoft takes its
brands to the big screen
The synergies between the film and video game
industries have increased notably over the years.
With the arrival of the new generation of consoles,
and their unparalleled graphic realism,
the cross-over has become all the more apparent.
Today Ubisoft is determined to learn from the cinema
and acquire new skills, which can be used to enrich
its video game universes. Last February, the group
announced the opening of a new studio in Montreal,
specialized in the creation of digital cinema content
(CGI movies), thus positioning itself at the heart of this
major industry movement.
The studio’s primary mission will be to produce short
films inspired by games of Ubisoft brands.
A first 8-minute film based on the highly anticipated
Assassin’s Creed™ is already underway.
