Pain: Publishing and editing workflows have become inefficient due to the need to search for and copy files between local hard drives, external image agency websites and an overly complex collection of legacy filesystems which currently cannot be changed.
Pill: Openstore
Description: Implementing Openstore and the Openstore ID plugin as the universal interface for users to search for and access all available images regardless of the file’s original location eliminates the need to manually search for and document the location of files, improving productivity and reducing errors from using outdated or incorrect assets.
Proof: By using Iceman Media’s Openstore and InDesign plugin we were able to streamline what had been a cumbersome process without having to change any of our backend systems which was precisely what we wanted.
