Canto is used to organize final versions of assets for the organization. We use Canto to easily search for assets, label relationships between assets, track analytics on the viewing and downloading of assets, share assets, receive assets, etc. We also use Canto's style guide template to share information within the organization, such as branding and guides for using Canto. We also create share links to share assets in the workspaces of the PAT portal through Sitefinity.

Canto has been a blessing so far for our organization in terms of having digital access management that is easy to use and helpful to our users to be able to access photos and templates fairly easily. Having the ability to use the facial recognition option to tie multiple assets by name or file type is very useful. One of the main business problems we had was having a location that could be accessible to the whole university along with our external partners. With Canto, we can finally curate photos for certain areas like admissions, certain colleges, etc.

We use Canto for all photo and video storage and graphic assets such as logos. I create graphics in Adobe products daily, and the Canto Connector tool allows us to work much faster and keep photos from shoots organized. It has enhanced our workflow as a creative team.

We use Canto as a warehouse for all our visual assets and logos. Our primary use is for communications team use, but all staff can access and use it. We find it especially useful in the creative process when looking for assets to accompany our storytelling.

Within our organization, the Marketing department takes the lead in utilizing Canto to manage, categorize, and distribute assets like photographs and graphic files. Access to Canto is extended to other departments, facilitating efficient searches and usage of media items. The platform's features, such as tagging, keywording, and facial recognition, enable swift and easy sorting through a vast collection of photographs, ultimately saving valuable time for project teams in need of these assets. Furthermore, Canto serves as a rapid and effective means of sharing files, even with external parties beyond our organization.

My team uses Canto every day for our graphic design projects. It's a great media manager and has really helped us to streamline the process of sorting, tagging, and searching for photography assets. With the Adobe Creative Suite integration, we're able to import seamlessly into our signature print and digital work without having to download it to our devices. When my department first started looking for a DAM solution, we were on multiple platforms (Google Drive, Dropbox, Internal S: Drive) and it was difficult to find anything.

We use Canto to help us organize all of our media and make it easy to search. We have a bunch of different divisions that each have their own assets as well as content that is used across divisions. We were spending a lot of time searching for assets and Canto makes it easy for the end users to find what they are looking for directly.

Our office uses Canto as an image database. We have a hard time easily sharing and searching for specific photos, and Cantos folders and tagging features makes this super easy. On a daily basis we use the feature where you can create a share link that can be publicly shared and expire during a certain date or time. We also use Canto to organize event-specific photos so we can easily access them later on. It is sometimes I do not think our marketing office could live without!

We use Canto as a place to sort all of our digital asset. As an organization that has a lot of historical documents, Canto is a great place for us to digitally store photos, pdfs, videos, and so much more. It also is a great asset for our organization since half of us work remotely.

We use Canto to give access to our retailers across the nation as well as store assets & files to be used internally for our sales & marketing departments. I also use it to add image links to our amazon store. This is incredibly helpful because the images allow us to use the URLs which are required by Amazon product templates!

We used Canto for our marketing department Dam system. We liked that it was cloud based. It was being used to handle our photos, PDFs, and Videos. Our goal was to move approved assets off a local file server to a solution that was easier to search, tag, and organize our files for our team and our entire organization. We had about 2000 assets in the DAM.

We use Canto to house and organize our digital assets. We purchased Canto to streamline our marketing processes. Canto allows employees to take responsibility for locating, downloading, and/or sharing of our digital assets and templates. It reduces the need for employees to disrupt the marketing team to request assets and templates, allowing the marketing team to focus on more important tasks. It has increased our marketing efficiency and reduced our time to go to market. We also use the portal feature to share assets with outside organizations that do not need to be password protected. We have also taken advantage of the guidelines feature to share our branding to ensure consistency across the company.

We were looking for a solution to share large files inside and outside our agency with other stakeholders. A colleague of mine attended a workshop/conference and Canto was there, so she got the information. After a demo and some conversations, we decided to put out a procurement which Canto won. The best things I can say is that Canto is easy to use and it does exactly what the solution is meant to which is make storage and management -- and sharing! -- of media files easy and seemless. It's very intuitive and, admittedly, I haven't scratched the surface of what Canto can do so it can be a powerful tool. But it can also be a quick, nimble resource if you don't want or need to deep dive as well.

We use Canto to provide resource directories for different groups within our organization. For example, we have a customer portal, a volunteer portal, a media portal, and an internal portal. Each of these portals houses different resources to help those groups interact with our brand and work as an ambassador on our behalf. This provides us the opportunity to easily manage resources across groups and target the information each group receives. We are able to do this without IT resources being involved and can change things at a moment's notice.
