Picdar Customers
RNLI
Our customers represent a broad range of industries and business requirements. Confidence in our solutions is reflected in the large number of major newspapers and magazine publishers, major global corporations as well as charities and smaller businesses adopting our solutions.
The challenge:
To change from a manual process of searching and delivering an image
To convert and save the old hard copy photographs into a digital image bank, whilst protecting and preserving many ‘original’ and irreplaceable images
To provide fast access to images from all RNLI offices
The solution:
An image management system with fast, easy searching saving time, manpower and delivering greater efficiency
The ‘original’ and irreplaceable hard copy images are now digitised and stored which protects them from human handling and prevents further deterioration
Use of ‘free text’ rather than ‘key word’ searching provides concise, descriptive and flexible searches giving targeted results. This means less time wasted locating images with more time available to focus on value-added tasks
The images are selected by the user and delivered in their chosen format (CD, ISDN, email, etc) providing easy delivery to third parties or other users
The solution is web and Mac based which allows easy finding and delivery of images from any RNLI office
