muse.me™ process management
You have hundreds or millions of images? Operational photographs, portraits of your management team? Worried about ensuring that your photography is being used correctly?
Managing digital rights associated with images can be tricky. What is the provenance of the image? Who owns copyright? What are the licensing terms of the image? Who needs to be credited in its reproduction? Is the caption information accurate? What about the talent release? Or the property release? How do you prevent image release documents being lost from their associated image? What is the process when licenses expire and images need archiving? How do you eliminate the risk of images being reproduced incorrectly?
Your organization has perhaps invested money into the creation of images. However, without proper maintenance and management of the critical information associated with the images, how will this image remain to be an asset?
‘A piece of content does not become an asset until it has been classified, indexed, versioned, secured, stored, possibly reformatted or canonicalized in some way, and (typically) assigned a lifecycle state, a unique ID, and an owner. These are the things that make a piece of content an asset.’
