Digital Asset Management - Reccomendations

[Phunk]

I've recently joined a large FTSE100 company and a big issue that they have is managing and locating digital assets (mostly images)

Is there a simple, low cost off the shelf solution that you can recommend? Ideally, we would add metadata to the assets which we can these use in the future to help locate files.

The company uses SharePoint, so if there could be a solution that integrates with it, that would be even better!

ResourceSpace is worth a look - Oxfam commissioned it and then open sourced it so it's free in both senses of the word.

It's also stupidly easy to deploy so no reason not to give it a try.

That looked really promising as I've been wanting to index several thousand images, so I installed it.

However, it looks as though importing (or simply indexing) a folder of images can't be done, and you have to upload image by image, which with so many images is simply not going to happen.

It would have been nice if I could have pointed it to a folder, and then simply edited the categories (folders are already categorised) and then added the comments as required.

Such a shame.
