Why DI Development Company switched to Canto

The goal

A cloud-based, easy to use platform to for storing, organizing and accessing all kinds of image files.

The result

DI Development can provide their team of freelance designers, project managers and ad agency resources easy access to digital assets.

Challenges

DI Development Company’s corporate marketing department was using an on-premise solution for digital asset management. This created problems for them: the software wouldn’t play nice whenever their internal network was updated, and the cumbersome system required a designated “photo station” in the office. The station could only be used by one person at a time, which significantly slowed down their productivity.

Solution

They decided to switch from on-premise software to a cloud-based digital asset management solution. They thought Canto was easy to use, especially for adding documentation to files and leaving notes for designers. They were concerned about migrating their documentation, but it easily transferred to Canto, with all metadata intact.

Canto is easy to use, intuitive and a great collaborative tool. New team members have no problem learning the system, and consistent cataloging and tagging by multiple users is no problem. We’ve found it helpful for storing, organizing and accessing all kinds of image files, including photographs, logos, illustrations and even digital ads.
