Image Bank

The Objectify Image Bank Knowledge Management module allows easy management, categorisation, approval and protection of all images on your network. Store them in one place, access from anywhere. It includes highly flexible and advanced search features.

Organisation's Need

Most organisations have a large collection of images and similar documents that should be protected and well organised for appropriate and easy access according to
copyright and other rules.
Images can be of many types and are normally owned by many departments, and reside "all over" your network: Typical image types include:

Website and branding components
Brochures and designs
Advertising and campaigns
Products and services depiction
Drawings and plans
Product mock-ups (research & development)
Customer/client/patient images and submissions
Scanned documents such as contracts and important records
Maps and network diagrams
Aerial images
Project progression records and images
Documented proof images for projects and claim

All of the above types of images and documents are generally difficult to harness and organise, which often results in them becoming lost, duplicated or re-invented because they can't be found quickly enough when needed. These are the challenges that the Objectify Image Bank Knowledge Management System helps to address.

Natural Resource Management Module

Geographical references can also be captured in the module and then a mapping layer displayed on the live site. Alternatively, depending on the parameters of your GIS system, Objectify can integrate with a GIS application to call the appropriate map to be displayed.

For a full NRM module, Objectify can display the image, GIS reference and map, and documents pertaining to the location.
