Very simple to use database, easily accessible for anyone in our company.

Working with the Piction team on an institution-wide (150+staff) implementation of their system for both digital image and digital document management has been wonderful. Piction has been very understanding of our needs, and has been able to speed up or slow down parts of the process to work at our speed, which has not been my experience with other systems in the past. This has allowed us to take some time internally to clean up our assets prior to ingest, so that we do not have to deal with legacy filenaming/metadata/etc issues in Piction. As a result, there has been greater staff acceptance of the new system, and we can also leverage our assets in new ways, such as through request forms for new photography. Being from a large institution with many types of assets with varying needs, it has also been very helpful that Piction can customize metadata schemas and ingest/download workflows to feet the needs of differing image collections and now our document collections (still in the processing of implementing). Weekly calls during the implementation timelines make this possible. Their Help Desk is also very responsive.

I love the adaptability and the openness to customization that Piction offers. The team at Piction works really hard to be a partner with the museums they work with instead of just another vendor. They have so much experience with the special needs that museums face for DAM, and always come up with great solutions. They are a great team to work with. One of the great features in Piction is the ability to build customized workflows for all staff needs, from simple ingest requirements to Rights & Permissions for copyright sensitive material to even new photography requests. You can build out your entire workflow using Piction from request to delivery, beginning to end.
