Manufacturing Company Consolidating Frame IO and Dropbox
Company Situation
The company operates within the manufacturing sector, overseeing marketing communications and creative content management across multiple business units. Their team includes marketing communications leadership and project leads who are tasked with streamlining content workflows and archiving creative assets efficiently. The company is navigating the challenges of managing increasing volumes of video and digital media content generated internally.
Existing Workflow
Currently, their team utilizes a combination of tools such as Frame IO and Dropbox to manage creative assets. However, they lack a unified system for archiving and logging new footage, leading to fragmented storage and difficulty accessing the right content quickly. Their creative and marketing teams work across different departments, but the absence of a centralized asset management system causes inefficiencies.
Issues with the Existing Workflow
Content footage accumulates without a clear, organized archive system, causing stress and delays.
Limited metadata tagging capabilities restrict asset discoverability and organization.
Fragmented use of multiple platforms without integration increases manual effort.
The team requires a secure, compliant platform due to industry-specific security protocols, which complicates software adoption.
IT and security teams require thorough software evaluations, adding to procurement timelines.

This allows automatic tagging of assets upon upload, drastically improving searchability and reducing manual logging. The platform supports both nested folder structures and a flattened view, catering to different user preferences and simplifying access. Shade also provides robust security compliance documentation, ensuring the company’s IT and infosec teams can easily conduct evaluations.
