Compassion International Success Story

Compassion® International uses OpenText Digital Media Group to help break the cycle of poverty in developing countries

OpenText system helps to streamline processes for distributing and sharing photos, video, and other content among 38 global offices

“When evaluating solutions, we knew that we wanted a product that would do the basic digital asset management functions, like search, download, and distribution, but beyond that we wanted other features like workflow tracking. Once we started looking at the various tools on the market, there were some that did certain things really well, but it was the OpenText tool that did everything really well.”

— Gina Brasseur, Digital Media Specialist, Compassion International

Gina Brasseur discusses how OpenText Media Management has simplified the process of creating, managing, storing, and distributing Compassion’s media assets.

Challenge

Compassion International had limited access to shared rich media assets, a globally dispersed employee base, scattered files across the organization, and duplication of marketing assets.

Solution

• OpenText Media Management

Value

Compassion partners and employees can efficiently repurpose photos, articles, Web site content, and digital audio and video media to reduce research time and increase productivity. Users can easily find, access, edit, share, reuse, distribute, and archive their digital assets, all within unique workflows and using the desktop applications of their choice. There is improved collaboration globally with a centralized repository. Compassion now has better content management with metadata and workflow tracking.
