Creative Solutions for Creative Clients
Do you need to reformat a requested asset to fit the requester’s format need? Have you ever wished you could locate the asset used in a job from two years ago?
These are the types of needs we hear from customers every day. Access controlled, metadata rich asset management is a must in today’s creative world. Too much precious time is spent searching for assets, and/or supplying assets to others who should be able to easily download it on their own - and frankly they want to do it themselves!
Asset Finder eliminates many of the tasks faced by the creative staff once a design is in production. Generating formats commonly needed as the digital assets are published in Asset Finder makes them available to employees and vendors online, in the form needed. Creative teams no longer carry the burden of disseminating files, allowing you to focus on the creative tasks at hand. As an added service, WBD will work with clients to organize existing assets into feasible hierarchies and perform a batch upload of assets into the new structure. This includes determining which metadata can be automatically extracted from assets during initial import into the system.
Asset Finder automatically creates alternative image formats needed to support your repurposing requirements.
Assets are indexed using a hierarchy that can be customized by you to suit your needs.
Authorized users find assets through category or keyword searches, then place them in a familiar “shopping cart” providing a well recognized process for downloading multiple files.
Asset Finder securely provides any department or outside associate with access to corporate digital images through a web browser.
Large images are not a problem, we package up the shopping cart and send an easy to use download link.
Asset Finder accommodates images requiring high and low resolution variants, along with other files types such as vector graphics, PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoint files, video, radio spots. Your wish is our command.
Thumbnail view and larger preview are automatically generated making it easy for users to verify their shopping choice.
Metadata from a Tracker project is automatically associated with assets saved from a project into Asset Finder driving better search results.
