Extensis® announced today it will present “The Art of Preserving Digital Objects” at global museum events, starting this week at the Museums Association Conference & Exhibition 2014 in Wales. The line-up of events will continue throughout October and November, where Extensis will demonstrate how institutions in the heritage and culture sector can preserve, manage and share their collections with Extensis Portfolio™.

Extensis will share how some of the most prestigious museums use DAM to not only manage their collection objects, but also how Portfolio integrates with Collection Management Systems (CMS) using an open Application Programming Interface (API) to create an effective and comprehensive collection management solution.
Examples include:
- The Courtauld Institute of Art, who shared how they integrated Portfolio with zetcom’s CMS, MuseumPlus, in a Webcast.
- The Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, who completed a successful integration between Portfolio their museum CMS, Adlib Information Systems, using Portfolio’s API.

About Extensis Digital Asset Management Solution: Portfolio
Extensis Portfolio is a DAM system that helps organizations find, manage, and convert the digital assets associated with their collection objects. The system is quick to setup, easy to use, and includes an open API which allows customers to integrate DAM with other business systems, such as Collection Management Systems.
Collection Management Systems work well for managing object information from a curatorial perspective but may not provide tools specifically designed for managing digital asset content. Digital Asset Management Systems help museums, galleries, and cultural heritage organizations manage digital assets such as photographs of collection objects. By combining DAMS with CMS, institutions can provide an efficient and comprehensive collection information solution.
Extensis has a prestigious list of global heritage and cultural customers who use Portfolio, which includes the Courtauld Institute for Art (UK), The National Gallery of Art (Washington D.C.), The American Museum of Natural History (New York), Kiasma, The Museum of Contemporary Art (Helsinki), The Royal Botanical Gardens (Kew), The National Trust for Scotland (Edinburgh), The National Museum of Ireland (Dublin), The Royal Albert Hall (London), The British Library (London), English Heritage (Swindon), and Teylers Museum (Haarlem).
