ImageDirector supports the day-to-day tasks of your organisation. A wide var­iety of stakeholders can profit from Im­age­Director's usage.

A: Pre-Production

PHOTOGRAPHERS
Photographers can upload their images di­rect­ly into Image­­Director even during shoots. An abundance of meta­da­ta is already included in the original image files, greatly faci­li­tating the keywording process.

AGENCIES
The communication flow between your organisation and your public relations and advertising agencies is speedier and greatly improved through the use of ImageDirector. These agencies also profit from ImageDirector, as they immediately are able to locate their required images and files and have access to up-to-date copyright information.

MARKETING
ImageDirector's simple user interface makes the centralised ad­ministration of digital data such as images, presentations and audio or video files simple. Privileges can be set and assigned to files and users in order to define the usage of individual files for specific purposes. An intelligent XML Feed API provides for a smart interface to other applications. The free onxxon web imaging can be implemented into almost any content man­agement system.

SUPPLIERS, PARTNERS AND SUBSIDIARIES
Organisations integrating their digital material from partners into ImageDirector can benefit from very effective collaboration to gain quick access to digital files for printed materials or other uses. All files are access controlled and you have the ability to determine viewing privileges.
 

B: Production

PRODUCTION
In ImageDirector you can access your original product images directly and manage quality assurance. ImageDirector can inter­face to all leading ERP and other software solutions. 

PRINT SHOPS

Manage all of your printed materials from within Preeon Pub­lisher, the web-to-print add-on to ImageDirector. You can update text and images, rotate, resize and crop and send the final result either as printable high-resolution PDF to your printshop or as InDesign or Quark file. You can also upload the high resolution files for your printshop to download and go into production.

INTERNET-AGENCIES
Through the intelligent XML Feed API or the free onxxon web imaging tool, you can connect content management systems to ImageDirector and make sure that the released images are being utilised. Your web content will greatly improve and will also be more timely.  

C: Communications

SALES
Presentations can be reutilised by many users rather than everyone having to have their own. Presentations can be up­dated and made available instantly. PowerPoint presentations can be created much faster with the usage of appropriately sized images, eliminating the problem of having presentations being so large that they could no longer be distributed. Best of all: users can simply copy and drop images from ImageDirector into PowerPoint or any other application.

CUSTOMERS
With ImageDirector, one can even allow customers to access digital files. It is simple to grant access rights in a way that they will only be able to see what they should see, and nothing else. There is no longer a need to send selections of images around the world, inevitably clogging the e-mail folders of customers.  Customers are now able to choose what they desire and only download what they need.

PUBLIC RELATIONS
ImageDirector allows for fully automated PR initiatives. Press packages can be assembled with a few clicks and be distributed to journalists as a document portfolio containing images and other files. These portfolios can be password protected or made publicly available.

JOURNALISTS
With ImageDirector, you can provide your press material easily and without vast administrative cost. ImageDirector is so simple to use that thousands of journalists are accessing our systems on a routine basis. Journalists also appreciate the use of ImageDirector as they are able to save time by only choosing from a selection that you make available to them.

D: Internal

SECRETARIES AND MANAGEMENT
The usage of oversized images in PowerPoint is one of the main reasons why transfers and presentations run into difficulty. ImageDiretor allows not only to download files in the correct PowerPoint format but also to directly copy and paste the properly converted image from ImageDirector into your Power­Point slide. Everything is fully automated.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
ImageDirector will free up an immense amount of hard disc space throughout your organisation. onison has customers who experienced a space allocation need that was 85% lower than they had expected from the thousands of files in their organisation. ImageDirector literally requires no deployment. There is nothing whatsoever to be installed on the client side, not even for the Office or Windows integration. There are zero footprints and the system runs within a web browser. Image­Director also helps to free up Internet connections since files do not need to be sent around the world. Deployed as an application service, ImageDirector's economies of scale are so large that it is impossible to run such a system in-house economically.
