”The production cycle has been shortened considerably and we no longer have to rely on costly external repro work” says IT Manager Jakob Dupont. “With eRez we now have a robust and flexible imaging platform that quickly adopts to our present and future needs”.

“We can now use the same master-image in the catalogs, on our web sites and from within all our applications without having to make a single manual conversion. The eRez Imaging Server does that automatically. Acquiring the right rendition of an image is just as simple as acquiring numbers and text from a database.

eRez’s built in image browser allows our internal experts to quickly view images and zoom into areas of particular interest, which saves a lot of time.

We often send copies of our images to the press and other interested parties. With eRez we can quickly download an image at the right quality and format and send it off.
Likewise, photographers can use the upload feature to add new images from an external location in a secure manner.

As an extra bonus backing up image data is greatly simplified because the master-images are placed in well defined areas and we don’t need to backup all the derived versions of each image”

In conclusion, Jakob says, “We are now in full control of the entire image workflow, right from when the image is first captured in our studio till the final pages of a catalog is sent to the printer. The eRez software has adapted very well to our needs - not the other way around”. Read their full story about how they optimized the image and imaging workflow.

The centralisation of the image archives in the Rockwool Group has made it considerably easier to ensure consistency in the use of images, logos and other materials. It also represents significant savings that became apparent after just a few months with eRez. Feedback from individual divisions, press and advertising agencies around the world tell the same story: It is easier and faster to find the right image and deliver it in the desired format.

Not only did BONA’ PARTE get the desired highly configurable and flexible solution that they required - the solution is also fully integrated with their webshop.
The total integration of the eRez imaging server and FSI Viewer made it possible to implement the solution in the webshop with no changes required in the structure or programming of the shop itself.
Although eRez and the FSI Viewer were implemented without BON’A PARTE publicizing the update, the solution was quickly noticed by customers as well as both the trade press and newspapers.
”We have taken another important step towards giving our online customers the same experience as customers have in ”real” shops,” declares Søren Sprogø, technical webmaster for BON’A PARTE A/S. Read about the webshop and FSI Viewer

The eRez imaging server also presents the designers at the ad agency with a whole new level of flexibility since zooming, cropping and scaling the pictures can be done before downloading the picture. Furthermore, the error margin is kept at an absolute minimum, because the designers are able perform on the spot verification that the product pictures match the chosen hardware configuration.
The eRez imaging server is fully integrated with the DellShare marketing portal and works as the back end of AdPeople’s own image bank. Full integration was a basic demand from AdPeople, since the ad agency did not want a solution dependant on external components. As such, the eRez imaging server works as a “window” to the image bank used by the graphic designers at AdPeople. By adding a search interface to the image bank, picture search results are shown as thumbnails. From there, the eRez imaging server enables zooming and downloading the chosen picture in different varieties.

Presently the lrish News stores only a limited number of publications online. lf they are not used for a while they are taken away so at the moment the eRez/FSl Flipper is a day to day thing. Liam McMullen however, expects to also show old newspapers online some time in the future.
