Extensis will demonstrate how institutions in the heritage and culture sector can preserve, manage and share their collections with Extensis Portfolio™.

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 a Collection Management Systems. Portfolio also supports the SPECTRUM Standard and VRA Core, two key industry standards designed to make working with metadata easier for museums and cultural heritage institutions.
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.

By combining DAMS with CMS, institutions can provide an efficient and comprehensive collection information solution.
