North Plains Systems in Toronto now offers and supports Xinet, a digital asset management platform with an emphasis on collaboration and sharing. The California company Xinet, the platform's original developer, was acquired by North Plains Systems in 2012.https://dudodiprj2sv7.cloudfront.net/product-logos/4Y/lS/1RCSE1NAV6FI.PNGNorth Plains SystemsXinet - Great as a starting point2016-01-15T22:35:14.849ZOur central art and external development team uses Xinet for sharing art assets between studios and vendors. It allows our internal teams to post files to local network drives and have them picked up by external artists around the world.,Xinet works very well with active directory, allowing us to control user account permissions by adding them to user groups.
Using SMB via PC allows us to quickly organize and upload files without having to use a software client.
If you have XMP tags properly filled out in your files, Xinet is able to edit and store information from the database in the files themselves, which is very helpful in tracking down origins of files after they have left the system.,Automated triggers and actions could be a little more intelligent and could use a better interface (visual) for setting them up.
Drag and drop file movements in the web portal would be a tremendous improvement.
3D file previewing for max and maya files would make the software invaluable to our teams.,6,Increased employee efficiency greatly by allowing local users to transfer massive files without the need to upload to an ftp or third party software. Just drag and drop to the network drive and it's instantly on the portal site.,North Plains TeleScope, MediaBeacon R3volution and Basecamp,TeamViewer, Basecamp, Google DriveMichael BallardXinet for Asset Management2016-01-09T22:37:41.700ZThe last agency I worked at used Xinet to manage client assets (images and video) and clients, partners, and employees were able to access these assets through an online database, which we also managed.,We were easily able to set up security measures, that gave us control over who couls access these assets.
Assets were easily searchable through metadata.
We were able to control the usage of assets by assigning expiration dates.,For my position, I didn't learn enough of Xinet to truly utilize the whole program, only one or two people in my department understood it inside and out.
During my time at the agency, we were unable to get the annotations to work on assets. And that would have been helpful to have to streamline our process of asset quality control.,10,Increased employee efficiency
