Streamlining Digital Asset Management with Pimcore

The client is a leading consumer goods company operating in India and globally. With a diverse portfolio of products, they face the challenge of managing a vast array of digital assets, including images, videos, documents, and more.

Business Challenges

1. Manual Processes

1. Time-consuming: Manually searching for assets through folders and directories was a time-consuming task, especially for large asset libraries.

2. Error-prone: Human error was common during manual processes, such as misfiling assets or creating duplicate versions. This could lead to inconsistencies and delays in projects.

3. Inefficient workflows: Manual processes often involved multiple steps, such as transferring files between different systems or manually updating metadata. This fragmented approach hindered efficiency and productivity.

2. Lack of Centralized Repository

1. Difficulty in finding assets: Assets scattered across various systems and locations made it challenging for teams to locate the correct files when needed.

2. Inconsistent naming conventions: Lack of a standardized naming convention for assets made it difficult to search and organize them effectively.

3. Limited Asset Visibility

1. Restricted access: Assets were often stored in restricted folders or shared through manual methods, limiting their accessibility to specific teams or individuals.

2. Hindrance to collaboration: Limited visibility made it difficult for teams to collaborate effectively on projects that required shared assets.

3. Missed opportunities: Assets that were not easily accessible could not be leveraged for other purposes, such as marketing campaigns or product development.

4. Security Risks

1. Unauthorized access: Traditional methods of storing and sharing assets, such as email or cloud storage, could expose them to unauthorized access.

2. Data breaches: Sensitive assets, such as product designs or customer data, were at risk of being compromised if stored in insecure locations.

3. Loss of intellectual property: Unauthorized access to assets could lead to the loss of valuable intellectual property and competitive advantage.
