Today at Createasphere’s Digital Asset Management (DAM) Conference in New York, Extensis’ customer In Transit Images shared the secrets to their successful DAM rollout. Using Extensis’ Portfolio Server as its foundation, In Transit Images saw an immediate cost savings of 50 percent and future reductions of 20 percent after deploying the product.

In Transit Images represents photography collections from 65+ fine art and commercial photographers worldwide, facilitating the licensing and printing of their collections and offering them online. A relatively small group of just 12 employees spread out geographically, In Transit Images deployed Portfolio Server to help manage, format and share a growing library of assets, in addition to and offering and commercializing the assets to the marketplace.

In Transit selected Portfolio Server for its ability to:

•     Integrate with their other business systems to easily repurpose assets and media for use internally, for licensing via its website, for In Transit’s publishing division and for use by its clients and distributors
•     Couple their databases to portal design
•     Provide networkable access so the In Transit team, its clients and business partners could access the key assets anytime from anywhere
•     Provide an open platform that allows In Transit to customize and organize for current and future needs
•     Scale up to a library of 1 million assets
•     Offer a cost-effective, out-of-the-box solution that would be up and running quickly and provide low maintenance costs
•     Be intuitive for the team to use without intensive training

In their presentation today at Createasphere, Bob Hendriks—Managing Director at In Transit Images—will share the short-, mid- and long-term benefits the company has gained from implementing a DAM solution, including significant cost and time reductions.

“Digital asset management is a critical element for our business at In Transit Images; our company and business model revolves around it entirely. Portfolio Server delivers a crucial connection between our portal and our vast collection of high-quality photographs by leveraging the digital assets and workflow tools within Portfolio Server across our company and ecommerce website. We have already seen significant time and cost savings since using the API to integrate the systems.”
