OpenAsset

“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 has become our right arm. We use it every day.”

“I was really pleased with the data migration – it felt like OpenAsset support had the process down to a science.”

“OpenAsset is a lot more efficient. In terms of the way we work, connectivity with our design software is imperative. Not having to generate multiple image sizes is great – it just does it all for us within the application.”

“You could tell OpenAsset was the kind of software tool that was born out of really understanding what the image consumers in architecture design firms need on a day to day basis. We liked the fact that it did what we were looking for and was well tailored to our workflow. The characteristics that make OpenAsset appealing are the relative clarity and elegance of the interface, the fact it finds you what you need quickly, and its reliability.”

“I also find the process of accessing CVs for bid proposals much quicker.”

“The biggest benefit for me is how much quicker it is to keep information up-to-date.”

“OpenAsset is a much more user-friendly way of storing CVs and staff information as it’s all accessible within one system.”

“We have a much richer visual culture now, and are able to locate our key images faster and more easily.”

“I know that our account manager is always at the end of the phone if we have any problems or queries.”

“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.”
