What Helix Core Does For Your Team

Helix Core gives your team the foundation to accelerate innovation. It provides one secure place to store everything, enables global teams to collaborate better, and versions in the background so you can focus on your work, not your tools.

Save Time When Every Digital Asset is in One Place

Helix Core gives the entire team, from designers to devs, quick access to the latest version of the file they need — and it versions more than just source code. Get to market faster with higher quality products when your team isn’t overwriting each other’s work.

  • Access a complete history of every digital asset, not just source code. Helix Core versions video, large binary files, IPs, and more. And it lets you visualize your assets' evolution over time.
  • See when files are checked out, or automatically lock them, so you don’t waste time editing binary files that can’t be merged.
  • Start working right away. There is no need for team members to download entire projects to their local drives to begin working.

Get a Foundation You Will Never Outgrow

Helix Core scales endlessly while continuing to perform at lightning speed. It won’t slow down as your teams and projects grow.

  • Never outgrow your version control system. Helix Core was built to handle tens of thousands of developers and creatives, tens of millions of daily transactions, and petabytes of data.
  • Develop at high velocity. Your Helix Core server can handle 10,000+ concurrent commits without slowing down.
  • Eliminate WAN wait. Transfer large amounts of data and enormous assets quickly to teams across the globe.
  • Start creating in the cloud. Helix Core has quick and pre-configured deployment options for Microsoft Azure and AWS.

Collaborate Securely with Anyone

Stop sharing valuable IP via unsecured channels. Keep it safe while still enabling efficient collaboration within teams and with external partners.

  • Set permissions all the way down to a single file and IP address.
  • Allow outside contributors to access only the files they need.
  • Provide your users Single Sign On when integrated with your organization's IdP.
  • Review your full audit history to see what was accessed, what was changed, when, and by whom.

Version Without Reinventing Your Workflows

Keep your team focused on their deliverables. Helix Core versions your assets in the background and fits into your existing workflow and toolchain.

  • Keep developing with Git, but with the power of Helix Core. Your developers are probably more familiar with Git, and they don’t need to stop using it. Helix Core and Git  work well together.
  • Easily integrate it with the tools your team already uses – like Unreal Engine, Jenkins, Photoshop, and Maya. Check out our vast inventory of free integrations.
  • One of your tools not on this list? We offer APIs, so you can integrate and automate with any tools we don’t currently have an integration or plugin for.
