Large group

A large group is composed of different departments in which thousands of images, videos and photos are stored, distributed across computers belonging to everybody and nobody.

Quite simply, it is impossible to cope with this. The marketing department has its own images, the research and development department retains the history of its technical documents on servers in an endless file structure, not to mention the subsidiaries, which often only have a few images and are obliged to contact the company head office frequently...

When you want to find a photo or an image, everyone wastes time doing so...

Ideally, all media would be centralised in the same place, such as by departments. Access would be 24/24 so that foreign subsidiaries can recover images quickly without being hindered by the time difference.

• With WikiPixel, you centralise and index the photos in a common location accessible 24/7 over the Internet.
• The search engine lets users find media very easily.
• The online administration console allows user groups to be managed (e.g. by department), together with their permissions.

Company's communication department

A company's marketing or communication departments frequently work on advertising campaigns (by e-mail, display, etc.), and have a very large collection of images.

But what images can be used and in which context?

It is difficult to know whether an image is free of copyright restrictions, whether it can be used only internally or distributed, for example, on an Internet site.

This information might be stored somewhere, but where? In an office software document on the server or on a computer belonging to the person in charge of purchasing, communication, etc? Who knows?

• With WikiPixel, in the blink of an eye, you can access all fully-detailed information for a media file.
• The usage rights are specified, which means that WikiPixel's users can stop making mistakes.

Advertising agency

Advertising agencies work with numerous clients, providing them with turnkey advertising campaigns that may include images, videos or soundtracks for radio stations, for example.

Ideally, agencies would centralise all their campaigns, but there are many different file extensions. There is no advantage for them in storing only the ordinary image files.

• With WikiPixel, you can store file extensions covering video, sound, images and even professional files for which a thumbnail is available (e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, PDF, etc).

Town Hall

Town halls have a history: men and women who have worked together for years, in running and organising a municipality, for example...

But where is THE official photo of the mayor and his/her assistants for the photo gallery in the municipal newsletter?

Where are the photos of the village festival in 1900 for the exhibition on the life of the municipality over the centuries?

• With WikiPixel, it is simple to classify and index photos.
• The search engine lets you find them easily.

Blogger / journalist

Journalism is a worthy profession that involves numerous specialists (authors, features editors, freelancers, photographers, etc.) and a large number of images and videos to be managed...

Without forgetting that a presence on the Internet has become essential over the last few years (e.g. websites, social networks, etc).

What they require is a comprehensive tool that lets them store and recover all interviews, photos and news coverage, and share them in a few seconds.

• With WikiPixel, it has become even easier for journalists to share images, videos and soundtracks on their Internet site, blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Small company / start-up

Some people believe that a small company doesn't necessarily need a solution for its media. But even the smallest companies will still have logos, photos of their staff, digital files (PDF), etc.

It is so much simpler to have a complete solution for finding an image, downloading it to any computer and sending it by e-mail with just one click. But the cost is not always appropriate to the budgets of small companies.

• With WikiPixel, it is not necessary to invest a fortune.
• The solution has a very good quality/price ratio, which is also appropriate to the requirements of small companies and independents, and provides comprehensive professional functions.

Modelling / casting agency

The people that we see in advertisements, whether in the street, on the Internet or on television, generally have relationships with casting or modelling agencies.

Imagine the number of photos that these agencies have to manage: distributed photos, rush jobs, photos of potential models, etc. And above all, how can they find the complete portfolio of a particular individual who is the face of a renowned brand?

You might say that it is sufficient to classify these photos in a directory on the server... But wouldn't it be simpler to centralise everything on the same platform accessible online 24/24? And to be able to find the photos of that particular individual, for any particular month, just by doing a search "like on the Internet"?

• With WikiPixel, it is very easy to find media with the integrated search engine, which performs a complete analysis on key words, titles, comments, EXIF/IPTC metadata, online release dates, etc.
• It is even possible to search for an image by its author, its dominant colour, etc.

High fashion / jewellery

Two collections per year for high fashion, with hundreds of models and accessories...
The photographs taken during fashion shows do not always keep a real record of small details such as the hand-made lace that enhances a dress or the silk flowers that adorn the outfits of the greatest designers.

These represent thousands of photos that are so numerous that we don't really know where to store them...

• With WikiPixel, photos can be imported and indexed quickly by batches of images.
• In a few clicks, you can create a classification system and connect key words to images that will be available 24/24, quickly and easily from the integrated search engine.

Manufacturing company

A car is composed of thousands of parts, particularly in the engine, the exhaust, the braking system, etc.
These parts may change with the series, models, factory returns, etc.
But what does a valve look like for a V8 that was built six years ago? What are the references for the parts that make up the exhaust system for the brand's sports coupe? Which factory were these parts manufactured in?

Wouldn't it be simpler to have access to all information for a car model in a few seconds?

• Wikipixel lets you archive, timestamp and geographically locate a media item on a common platform accessible over the Internet.
• In the blink of an eye, you can see whether a file is linked to other media.
• It is also possible to select several images using a shopping-basket system, and to share this selection by e-mail, via permalinks, etc.
