Challenge

The Swiss traditional commercial Metrohm AG is one of the world's leading manufacturers of precision devices for chemical analysis. A broad portfolio from standard products to complex special applications inevitably includes a mass of image material that must be managed in a structured manner and integrated into business processes.

Until 2008, Commercial processed its image inventory using a self-developed database, which soon no longer met the complex requirements.

Solution: easydb . digitalasset

When evaluating possible solutions, the choice fell on the completely web-based easydb . digitalasset . Since the beginning of 2009, up to 1,000 employees have been using the Berliner Programmfabrik GmbH system. A decision that Commercial is still very happy with even after 3 years.

All images are managed in a central location and fit smoothly into the existing IT infrastructure. The convenient and simple user administration is an advantage. Since different file formats and image sizes are automatically calculated for each image, the required files can be downloaded without any further steps, which makes work much easier for Metrohm employees.
