University College Birmingham Adopts Digital Asset Management
University College Birmingham (UCB) has deployed a new tool to manage its
digital assets.
The university has digital assets numbering in the thousands and spread among various departments. With no system in place, the
institution was wasting time and money each time an asset needed to be found or shared.
UCB deployed Extensis Portfolio to centralize
its entire collection, catalog and tag assets for easy location and create an inventory to reveal any areas in need of updating. The
university also adopted Portfolio
NetPublish to help create Web pages for easy sharing of assets.
Other institutions using Extensis Portfolio include Baylor University,
Harvard Law School and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
