CPC is offering a series of on-line digital asset management solutions to companies who are struggling to keep track of digital assets such as images, layouts, presentations and videos. Using state-of-the-art software, these multimedia files are organised and powerful search facilities allow quick identification and publishing of the correct files, through any PC with Internet connection.

CPC, who are based in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, specialise in digital media services including CD duplication, digital printing and full logistics services. The digital asset management services add to CPC's on-line ordering and tracking 'e-docs' service for packaged CD's and printed documentation. "In dealing with our clients we could see first hand the problems people were having in finding logos, images and other important files. We already manage our clients 'digital' products and they already rely on us to locate, produce, package and distribute things like CD's and booklets. It therefore makes sense to offer a service to ensure better management of digital assets so everything is readily to hand whenever needed." Says Kevin Assinder, Managing Director of CPC.

The Digital Asset Management service not only provides a secure archive for all digital assets, but it also improves internal workflow and makes the sharing of assets with customers and suppliers much easier. Work in progress can be easily tracked with automatic forwarding of files to anyone else involved, processes are streamlined and easier to manage. CPC is offering the service through the Internet so that companies do not have to buy any software or hardware. However, CPC can also supply the digital asset management software for use on existing IT infrastructure and in both cases, the open architecture allows easy integration with existing databases and workflow management systems.
