Is Anchorpoint worth running as a client service?

Anchorpoint is a fit for agencies serving game studios, animation/VFX, archviz, or mechanical design teams that manage large 3D assets and need version control accessible to artists. The vendor pricing tier and setup cost are not published in the supplied data, and no client price, labor rate, or volume is supplied, so ROI cannot be modeled, the agency must provide vendor cost, labor rate, and expected client volume.
