A visual, user-friendly experience\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DAM is designed to be a visual platform. Users can upload any file type and preview content so that they can see what’s in their digital library at a glance. An intuitive design means that creative professionals can work within a single system that makes sense to them, whether or not they have technical experience. Canto’s focus on visual assets means that it’s designed to make storing and sharing images as easy as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cloud storage links may work well for sharing documents, but the user experience isn’t optimized for visual assets. Teams with hundreds or thousands of images benefit from using a DAM that is designed to store, organize and share visual assets, so you can see exactly what you’re working with.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1903\" height=\"846\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193933\u002FBoral_Main-Portal-View-compressor.png\" alt=\"A screenshot of the portal of Boral North America.\" class=\"wp-image-33079\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193933\u002FBoral_Main-Portal-View-compressor.png 1903w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193933\u002FBoral_Main-Portal-View-compressor-450x200.png 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193933\u002FBoral_Main-Portal-View-compressor-1024x455.png 1024w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193933\u002FBoral_Main-Portal-View-compressor-768x341.png 768w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193933\u002FBoral_Main-Portal-View-compressor-1536x683.png 1536w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Boral North America portal\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Our PR and social media agencies really love Canto! We were using Dropbox with them before, and Canto is more user-friendly,” Roqueta says. “It’s easy for them to resize or change image formats in case they need something for a certain media outlet: they can just identify the size and format they need and download it directly from Canto,” said Alessandra Roqueta, marketing manager of Boral North America’s Stone Division.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Ca href=\"\u002Fcustomers\u002Fboral-north-america\u002F\">Learn more about why Boral made the switch.\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--2-easy-search-and-filter\">2. Easy search and filter\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DAM systems provide many features that help users easily find what they’re looking for. Users can search, pulling up any assets with matching keywords, tags, descriptions or file names. Canto also automatically applies “smart tags” to uploaded content and users can apply facial recognition as well to make the search process even easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bumkins was using a patchy combination of servers, Dropbox, and tribal knowledge to locate and share assets.

Most of the time, the team would get frustrated with searching and just come ask me because I knew where everything was,” said Leyna Segal, photo editor at Bumkins.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Canto, the Bumkins team adds keywords and tags to their assets to make it easier for users to find what they need.

Metadata and digital rights management\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most organizations use content created by a variety of sources, including third party photographers; as a result, their content will have different rights and expiration dates for usage. It’s important for companies to manage these digital rights because mistakenly using content without permission can result in expensive legal troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canto allows users to add expiration dates to content and automatically archives expired assets, taking the risk and extra work out of the equation. With cloud storage, users can’t add custom metadata fields such as usage rights. While it’s possible to work around this hurdle by sorting expired content into different folders, it’s a tedious manual task and it’s much too easy to make a mistake with large repercussions for the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1430\" height=\"822\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2017\u002F09\u002F19194609\u002FScreen-Shot-2019-07-09-at-11.18.41-AM.png\" alt=\"Seattle Aquarium Public Portal with Canto\" class=\"wp-image-29079\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2017\u002F09\u002F19194609\u002FScreen-Shot-2019-07-09-at-11.18.41-AM.png 1430w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2017\u002F09\u002F19194609\u002FScreen-Shot-2019-07-09-at-11.18.41-AM-450x259.png 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2017\u002F09\u002F19194609\u002FScreen-Shot-2019-07-09-at-11.18.41-AM-1024x589.png 1024w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2017\u002F09\u002F19194609\u002FScreen-Shot-2019-07-09-at-11.18.41-AM-768x441.png 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Seattle Aquarium’s media portal of pre-approved assets.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seattle Aquarium chose Canto because the marketing team needed a DAM to manage digital rights for their content.
