Canto

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!

• Allows us to stay on brand with organizing social media photos
• Allows us to finish projects faster by sharing images with others easier
• Streamlines requests from other areas to share images with link share feature

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.

• Efficiency has greatly increased.
• We have been able to cancel subscriptions to other services.

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.

• Saves staff time.
• Supports branding consistency.
• Reduces risk of NOT acknowledging photo credits.

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.

• Powerful search engine
• Automated tagging and facial recognition systems
• Integration with Adobe Creative Suite
• Ability for outside users to add content
• Ability to share content to outside users

• Improved team efficiency
• Better collaboration
• Increased ability to share assets, which in turn makes it easier for other users in our organization to create better content (email, social, website, print, etc).
• Better quality final assets as we have everything in one place now - meaning we always see all of our options for photography.

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.

• improve brand reputation
• brand consistency
• better and long term ROI
