I like that OpenAsset improves our team’s workflow efficiency by moving project and employee images and information off the server, while still letting us organize everything through its tagging and ranking system. The INDD plug-in is incredibly useful; it helps the team work faster and produce marketing assets more quickly.
The defined user groups and associated permission levels also give the marketing team peace of mind, since they can ensure that what goes into the system has been approved by them. They’re also able to control what can be used by other license holders within the firm, which is a big plus. Hopefully, this will allow people to access what they need without having to go to the marketing team every time.
Overall, the system performs well, and I’ve found it to be a very useful investment for the firm. While getting OpenAsset set up can be tedious depending on how many assets and how much historical project information you’re working with, the implementation and customer success managers are excellent and will guide you through the process.
I love that OpenAsset integrates with InDesign. They've made a lot of updates to the Employee module, and we've recently added that package to help with building our Resumes. We've been working hard to ensure the right data is in Vantagepoint to pull from and now we're saving HOURS per month not having to manually maintain content outside of those platforms.
