ESSILOR OF AMERICA, INC.
The Challenge:
Essilor had thousands of images they had shot or purchased from a number of sources, but did not have a digital asset management tool to act as a central repository. As a result, individual employees resorted to creating personal filing systems for imagery and weren’t able to access imagery their co-workers had purchased, sometimes resulting in duplicate image acquisition. As the global market leader, Essilor needed a web-based solution that would store all of the company’s images and enable them to efficiently search, track, share, and manage licenses for their visual assets, increasing brand control and consistency.
The Solution:
OnRequest Images provided a customized solution for Essilor with OnRequest Image Manager™. OnRequest Images edited and keyworded approximately 1,500 of Essilor’s current images in their library, allowing Essilor to effectively search all of their imagery at the click of a button. Consistent naming conventions and keywording aligned perfectly with Essilor’s new strategic visual branding initiatives.
The Results:
“Implementing the OnRequest Image Manager solved our problems with a simple yet comprehensive web based solution,” stated Kerrie Curran, Essilor’s Marketing Services Manager. “Now we have total control over each of our brands’ unique imagery and who has access to and can download hi-resolution files. Not only that, we can manage it all from anywhere, anytime. The ability to easily improve workflow automation has helped us tremendously.”
