Why Digital Asset Management?

Common issues

As your organisation grows it gets harder to keep your digital files under control. Common problems include:

• An increasing amount of time is wasted dealing with requests for images, logos and other files.
• Resources are scattered across CDs, hard disks and network drives.
• People are given the wrong image type, size or format for their needs.
• A lack of control over who uses what, leading to branding issues.
• Money wasted as a result of not re-using resources that have already been paid for.

The Asset Bank solution

Asset Bank is a web application that has been developed hand-in-hand with our clients to help solve these problems. It can either reside on your own server, or be hosted by us.

Key features include:

• Stores files of any type. Supports all popular image, video, audio and document formats, creating thumbnails and preview clips on upload.
• Powerful download options. Create quick download pre-sets (e.g for Print, for Web) and optionally give users the ability to re-size, crop and convert.
• Browser-based. Works with all popular web browsers, allowing your users to access it at any time, from wherever they are in the world.
• Comprehensive permissions. Control who can access the site and what they can do: view, upload, edit, download (with or without approval).
• Feature rich. Video keywords, photo essays, slide shows, masking, saved searches, filters, and much more. View our key features.
• Enterprise scale. Lightning fast searches over high volumes of data; support for LDAP, multi-language, organisational units and asset types.
• Fits in with your company's brand. The front-end can be changed to match your company branding and colour-scheme.
