Manage digital assets efficiently
Create a secure, central repository for all media files and all digitised and born-digital assets. Assets inherit metadata directly from the CMS for smarter organisation of assets and easier access across teams. Cross-platform workflows streamline processes for copyright clearances, object photography requests, licensing and more.
Preservation to industry standards
Manage your preservation workflows to OAIS standard, with JHOVE & DROID integrations. Set alerts for issues like file degradation or validity. If an issue is detected, alert staff or automatically replace the file with a valid one.
Share and collaborate
Share assets securely with internal and external stakeholders. Curate assets, set due dates, comment on media and more in shared team workspaces. Separate views allow collections, curators and marketing to manage their assets separately, whilst still sharing in the global view.
Publish your collections
Create impactful narratives by combining collections data and high-quality media in one place. Quickly find the assets you need in the right format. View images, watch videos and listen to audio in high quality to ensure media is fit for purpose. Improve access to your collection and generate revenue by pushing media directly to web, mobile or in-gallery interactives.
Axiell DAMS – Powered by Piction streamlines workflows between collections managers, curators, IT and digital departments, bringing together collections data and digital media to create the foundation for complete digital workflows.
The integration synchronises media and metadata in near realtime, ensuring data is accurate, up to date and preserved across systems. Choosing an out-of-the-box integration means there are no unforeseen development costs for middleware.
With a shared roadmap, this innovative collaboration between Axiell and Piction provides a sustainable solution to meet the sector’s growing demand for digitisation and content creation.
Handle even the biggest digitisation projects and ingests. Store files of any type and save to multiple locations. Link media directly to the relevant record in the CMS. Speed up transcription and tagging with OCR and AI.
In near-realtime, pull metadata from and push media to the Collections Management System, so assets and data are consistent and up to date. Metadata from the CMS also gives you smarter ways of organising and searching for assets.
Create more sustainable ways of working by streamlining key business processes, whilst making assets easier to organise and find, so you spend less time searching and more time on the tasks that matter.
The system is modular, so you can scale up or down depending on your needs. Choose from cloud or local hosting, or a hybrid of the two.
Collections, marketing and curatorial can manage their data and assets separately and share institution-wide assets in a global view.
