Case Study: M&C Saatchi achieves improved font compliance and productivity with Extensis Universal Type Server

Decrease Frustration, Improve Productivity

M&C Saatchi, a global advertising agency with offices in 18 countries, needed a better way to organize and distribute a large collection of fonts used by its UK creative team. An initial font-management tool deployed for 80 users lacked key features—especially the ability to collect font groups for output—leading to frustration, collaboration problems, and workflow bottlenecks.

They switched to Extensis Universal Type Server, which scaled with the agency and addressed their requirements. The system ensured font compliance and consistency, made collecting fonts for output easier, and streamlined user management via Active Directory sync; Universal Type Client’s single sign-on further boosted efficiency, resulting in improved compliance, simplified administration, and higher productivity.
