Portfolio Server Solution

A powerful set of modular tools for creative workflows--including cross-platform Web and Desktop Clients.

• Portfolio Server with MediaRich® engine for media processing
• Portfolio Web Client for remotely working with files from any web browser
• Portfolio Desktop Client for utilizing assets within creative applications
• Portfolio NetPublish Module for instantly publishing catalogs to the Web
• Portfolio SQL Connect Module for added scalability and performance

Features:

Superior Client Usability -  The Desktop Client features a beautiful, customizable interface with advanced processing options. The Modern Web client delivers the simplicity of a Flash application and simplifies your work by putting only the needed options at your fingertips. Upload any assets, edit originals remotely, edit metadata and perform other tasks through any web browser. Since all media processing happens on the server, the clients are lite, agile and deliver unsurpassed speed for search, launch, thumbnail browsing, etc. The user interfaces are uncomplicated and deliver the fastest learning curve in the DAM business.

Outstanding Metadata Management - With Portfolio Server, organizations can ensure consistency among all media types. The modern metadata architecture includes robust support for XMP-based workflows (leveraging the Adobe XMP™ Toolkit) and supports other open standards like EXIF, TIFF, QuickTime®, Microsoft® Office and even legacy IPTC (IIM) metadata. Track your license details and usage rights: Portfolio Server’s auto-keywording dramatically reduces manual metadata entry, saving you time and ensuring consistent information across your teams.

Industry-best Integration for Creative Users - Portfolio’s innovative Express Palette enables floats on top of any application and offers visual, drag-and-drop access to your cataloged media. Search for your work in more meaningful ways by automatically adding keywords and other file information to your digital assets. The enhanced support for Adobe XMP means you can work the way you want with support for Adobe Creative Suite® “File Info” and XMP panels, so your metadata can be captured within the creative applications you use most. Whether you need to view a past project, or a colleague is locating an in-progress InDesign® project, Portfolio Server will handle the details.

Open, Industry-Leading Technologies - Portfolio Server is an open system built on industry-leading technologies: New Java™ ( J2EE), Adobe® FLEX® Web Client, JBoss® for performance, OpenOffice.org and the MediaRich asset engine for media processing and just-in-time delivery. With the optional SQL Connect Module, you get added flexibility and a system that integrates easily with your current technologies.

Built-in Automation - Use Portfolio Server’s automated publishing, metadata extraction and batch conversion to simplify your work. Batch-convert your photo library into the desired file format on-the-fly when you need them. The AutoSync™ functionality lets you define watch folders and auto-catalog any changes within those folders in real-time. Set it and forget it. “Watch” any folder and Portfolio Server will instantly catalog all the assets dropped in from various team members, or use a separate ‘finals’ folder to instantly populate final files to a website, making them available to teams and partners around the world.

Web Access for Working Remotely - Whether you are proofing a campaign or executing multi-channel marketing, Portfolio Server enables you to easily share digital assets on the Web. Through any web browser, users can easily add, remove or update assets and get real-time access to photos, presentations, and documents in the format they need. Portfolio Server centrally organizes and communicates all information about your digital assets so you can stop hunting.

New, Best-in-class MediaRich Asset Engine - Portfolio Server is fully integrated with MediaRich Server, from Equilibrium®. MediaRich Server is a powerful platform, offering advanced file format and media-processing support. It is designed to ensure accurate, just-in-time delivery of rich media assets.

Simple Administration - Portfolio Server’s web‐based server administration interface delivers simple and remote server access. Creating and defining catalogs only takes a minute and the central ‘users ‘list makes it easy to grant “membership” to catalogs with configurable access levels.

Simple Deployment - You have an organizational system that works already—keep it! Portfolio Server’s AutoSync™ functionality auto-catalogs all your assets from their existing location. At the same time, the server will automatically extract and capture metadata from your photos, videos, and documents—instantly adding value to each asset. Just point Portfolio Server to your networked folder structure and watch it go. Easily set up new catalogs with the straightforward Web-based administration. Users can instantly connect with a Web browser or a Desktop Client and begin searching, editing, uploading, downloading and converting media. Bottom line: you won’t need a hired ‘expert’ to setup and configure Portfolio Server.
