The Canto/HELIOS partnership dates back so many years, it’s no surprise Cumulus is the DAM system of choice for so many HELIOS customers worldwide. No other DAM vendor offers a tighter, more reliable integration with HELIOS products, bar none. HELIOS support comes in 2 versions: the HELIOS Extended Pack, and the HELIOS Companion.
HELIOS Extended Pack
For integration with the HELIOS ImageServer, Canto offers the HELIOS Extended Pack. If your organization uses the powerful ImageServer, why not let Cumulus take advantage of it? Define simple or complex asset processing jobs and save them as single-click actions users can access from menus.
The HELIOS Extended Pack also enables you to catalog the HELIOS XPV files, so you can take advantage of the higher-quality per-page thumbnails and other metadata provided by the HELIOS ImageServer.
HELIOS Companion
For HELIOS Server volume support, Canto offers HELIOS Companion, which includes the HELIOS Extended Pack, and keeps your Cumulus catalogs in sync with your HELIOS volumes. Changes made on a HELIOS Server volume (new file, rename, move, delete, etc.) are reflected in the Cumulus catalog automatically, so users can modify files directly on the file server without breaking Cumulus references, or leaving catalogs littered with asset records for deleted files.
Use the HELIOS Companion Setup window to choose which folders are "watched" on the HELIOS Server.
