Photo Asset Management
Photo Asset Management systems help you streamline photography workflows.
What was once quite cumbersome is now smooth and routine thanks to the Widen photo asset management system. You can still have photo shoots taking place in different geographic locations. You will always have creative reviewers demanding instant review and approval of proofs. And marketing teams will still be tasked with turning projects around on a dime.
The difference is that Widen provides photographers with a web-based portal to upload photos to a central server. What's more, creative reviewers are notified that the shoot is ready for review, comment, and approval tracking. Finally, approved photos are seamlessly released into the central photo asset management database for creative services, marketing personnel, external agencies and other approved users to access the photos in usable formats.
Key Features: Your Widen Photo Asset Management system will make photography workflows more efficient, streamline reviews and ensure only approved photos are available for use.
