OpenAsset

“Axomic is on the leading edge of the curve. They’re moving with technology. And we want to be associated with like-minded companies. We know we’re heading in the same direction; we’re all speaking the same language.”

“People don’t have to be experts to find the information and images they need. We can take advantage of shared resources, whereas before much of the knowledge was dependent on certain people.”

“Everybody at Axomic was very helpful. The documentation and training videos were easy to follow and use, and we were able to get answers back very quickly. Axomic helped us to strategize on the best ways to set up libraries and use keywords so they made sense for our organization. We got a good deal of useful input from them, so when the system was set up we were ready to go.”

“Integrating Deltek with our image resources via OpenAsset helped open up our use of Deltek Vision. We implemented OpenAsset with that in mind from the very beginning.”

“We stored project data in Deltek Vision and needed an InDesign template feature. This is why we chose OpenAsset.”

“Images were all over the place. In some offices we have limited support staff, so we hadn’t been able to develop our in-house DAM system as much as we wanted to, and the functionality and usability just weren’t good enough.”

“It’s been so amazing to be able to share photos with people who aren’t ‘power-users’ makes it easy for teams beyond marketing to drag and drop images into PowerPoint or InDesign.”

“It’s been invaluable to us as a company to have OpenAsset as a single source of project photos. Having one place to go to in order to quickly find projects with a swimming pool, gym, runway, has changed the way we are able to utilize photos.”

“Everything about the database is useful and time saving. It’s cut down the time to create everything from proposals, to brochures, to PowerPoint presentations. It’s been a huge time saving tool, and the ease of use made it a no-brainer for us.”

“OpenAsset is perfectly aligned with the goals that we have for photo management.”

“Life is easier – sharability is amazing. People know that they will find the photos they need in OpenAsset themselves, and create their own contact sheets.”

“Everyone uses Albums. If you’re working on a big bid, you may have 5 people working on it. We create albums which are essentially “mini-libraries” that we can share amongst the bid team.”

“OpenAsset allowed our team to collaborate seamlessly on our image choices for display on the website.”

“Without OpenAsset, I’m certain it would have taken twice as long for mock ups — as I would have spent a large amount of time resizing images, and then would have had to make those images available to our web developer in a duplicated directory.”

“As a graphic designer, OpenAsset gave me the ability to move the design along more fluidly and at a faster pace.”

“During the wireframe process, I was able to take my mock-ups a step further and use MKA’s real photography, instead of blocking out squares and asking people to “imagine” what it would look like. Albums and the ‘drag and drop’ feature made this a quick reality.”

“The OpenAsset-Procore integration has made photo compiling for our weekly update more efficient. With just a few clicks, we can locate the photos and tag them for use in the Update as well as archive them for future use in proposals, brochures and articl es.”

“JHL wasn’t looking for a solution, but once our team saw how the OpenAsset-Procore Connector worked, it was an easy decision to make the integration work for our team.”

“JHL is continually striving to capture project progress for both internal and external communications.”

“Having current photos of what we do is important to keep content relevant. We use the Procore integration to assist us in keeping projects sites updated.”

“The OpenAsset-Procore integration has made photo compiling for our weekly update more efficient. With just a few clicks, we can locate the photos and tag them for use in the Update as well as archive them for future use in proposals, brochures and articles.”

“The operations folks in the field are using drones, iPhones, or iPads to take the photos and store them in Procore… The Connector makes it easier for our marketing team to select, transfer and tag relevant photos in OpenAsset.”

“The search for project images is largely carried out independently by employees themselves, enabling them to access the necessary information from anywhere at any time. The democratization of knowledge is a cornerstone of sustainable internal corporate communications at HPP Architects, and one building block towards that for us was OpenAsset.”

“OpenAsset runs really well, and the support team at OpenAsset is very responsive and always ready to answer questions we may have. The multiple ways of searching has been very useful and a big time saver for us. Using OpenAsset, our staff can view and search through all of the images, which is invaluable in our work processes.”

“The biggest benefit for me is that it has made our work process so much more efficient. We quickly find what we need and easily drop it into other programs. And, we can easily share albums among groups to quickly view photos that are being considered for projects.”
