Image Relay - A great asset for your digital assets!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use image relay to store all of our marketing assets as well as a variety of other development and production assets. Image Relay provides space to store important assets away from a local server which allows for collaboration, ease of access and minimization of storage strain on local drives.
Pros
- Allows easy collaboration
- Manages important asset meta data
- Extends storage options beyond local drives
Cons
- More intuitive search functions
- Easier organization of permissions
- Better on-going training for new and existing users
Return on Investment
- Allowed for digital assets to be shared easily.
- Some unintentional access given to outsiders due to permissions defaulting to the folder level (if another folder is added someone could inadvertently give access if this main folder had already been shared).
- Search is not super intuitive so sometimes old/outdated assets are taken. This is more of an organization issue, but it still is important since search filters have to be dug for and applied after the initial search.
