Problem
Many departments worked only on their own island, they had their own working methods and location for storing their files. Use of content across different departments was almost non-existent. Many files were lost because they were stored somewhere but were not searchable and there were many duplicate files.
Solution
With MediaHaven we offer the city of Kortrijk one central platform to safely store and manage its digital content. There are over one million objects in the MediaHaven system, which employees can browse through via a website. There is a website where a large part of the collection is shown to the general public.
Result
Cooperation between departments has been established and the reuse of media files has increased very rapidly. This, of course, results in a great speed gain. The public website has already been viewed by many people. The old "lost" content has come back to life. The city of Kortrijk now has a safe tool to store all kinds of media files. As the system grows along with the needs, we are ready for the future!
We save a lot of time and money by finding our audiovisual material more easily than ever before and by avoiding the need to store copies of files in different places. We now also have less risk of data loss.
