Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute
Enterprise Digital Asset Management
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution enhanced global research collaboration with iBase DAM, managing 500,000+ ocean research images through advanced security, geolocation search, and cross-departmental sharing across international research initiatives.
WHOI is the world's leading, independent non-profit organisation dedicated to ocean research, exploration, and education.
WHOI use iBase to hold their collection of (half a million and counting) images gathered from their many years of researching the world's oceans.
Some of the features of iBase that WHOI use to organise their collection are:
- Advanced folder hierarchy with links to collections and departments, which means users can organise content in a variety of ways.
- Integrated security allowing control of access via ADFS and membership of Active Directory groups.
- Google Maps-based location search and image metadata extraction combine to make geolocation of images easy.
- Secure sharing of assets with users both within and outside the organisation.
- WHOI are one of iBase's oldest clients and stand testimony to our ability to deliver outstanding long-term service even across multiple timezones.
