Virtual Katy Connect. Virtual Katy Connect is a collaboration and workflow product for the sound effects industry.

VKC is revolutionary in that - as well as being a full project-management tool - it acts as a central repository for all the audio assets in a project. This means that sound engineers can now go online and submit their work their peers and supervisors, instead of the traditional practice of copying files to a hard drive and couriering that to another sound department in another city.

Virtual Katy has two parts - an AJAX web 2.0 website and an optional native client. The Website allows a supervisor to track the progress of a project, quality control the work and perform certain version control functions. The native client can be run on a sound engineers Windows or Macintosh machine, and takes care of efficiently uploading and downloading the files the engineer is working on.
