LINE Communications, one of Europe's leading providers of learning and communications solutions, is pleased to announce a new partnership with 3D digital imaging and animation company, Crystal CG International. The partnership with Crystal CG allows LINE to offer its clients 3D solutions at scale with video quality rendering. Under the terms of the agreement, each party will be a preferred supplier to the other within its particular areas of specialism.

Celebrated for delivering the digital imaging for the opening and closing ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics, Crystal CG International's London-based team is building on the success of its Chinese parent organisation (Crystal CG) as the official imaging services provider for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.



Crystal CG has fifteen years of experience of giving visual expression to the ideas of its clients and partners. The company's services range from pure digital multimedia production through creative design, to the project management of complex, multi-vendor contracts. Its customers are not only from the corporate sector, but also include property, architecture and public sector organisations as well as companies working in sport, media and events. The partnership with LINE will allow Crystal CG to offer its customers bespoke, advanced e-learning solutions in addition to existing services.



LINE currently offers sophisticated 3D graphics capabilities, but the partnership will allow it to offer this service on a far greater scale. This will help LINE to keep up with the increasing demands for 3D visuals from its customers. The partnership also offers LINE significant market opportunities. In return, LINE offers Crystal CG access to its client base of global multinationals, including its pan-European automotive clients. The two companies are currently working together on a number of tender opportunities.



This is the latest in a series of partnerships forged by LINE to consolidate and enhance the company's ability to offer learning and communications capability at scale for its clients.



Gilles Albaredes, managing director at Crystal CG International said, "We are delighted to form this partnership with LINE, which offers us the opportunity to expand into new markets and provide additional services for our clients. By combining Crystal CG International's expertise in 3D digital imaging and LINE's bespoke learning solutions, we will be able to provide businesses with an engaging, interactive e-learning experience."



Steve Ash, Director of Sales and Marketing at LINE said. "This strategic partnership further enables LINE's capabilities to offer solutions to our clients at scale using the very latest technologies to promote effective learning and communications. The sectoral expertise of Crystal CG is similar to that of LINE, providing exciting new opportunities for both organisations."
