Artist

I receive comments from my team lead directly on the assets that I’m using in my day to day work. It’s far more efficient than using in the previous web app.

I can instantly use new assets’ metadata contributed by my teammates. Love the previews Martin in our London office added to our library!

Having a overview of the project pipeline saves me a lot time from swtiching between apps, and I feel more connected with the in-house team and their workflow.

Assets & metadata living in your cloud

Ever heard of Hybrid DAM?

That’s the perfect synergy of local and cloud asset management, designed for peak efficiency. It allows you to experience the best of both worlds: ultra-fast access to local assets and optimized cloud storage for those less frequently used. It offers numerous benefits, one of which is the seamless collaboration for teams, whether they're working on-site or remotely, with easy metadata access and previews.

Learn the details

Harvest and share

The new Metadata Harvester tool will collect metadata from the content of all assets in a Workspace, like resolution, date modified, preview thumbnail, EXIF, image and video orientation, etc., giving you more indexing and filtering options. All team members can use the harvested information for quick and efficient workflow, saving you the time and effort you waste scrolling through numerous assets to find the perfect one.

Feedback where it’s ought to be

Give. Get. Collaborate!

Are you tired of switching between apps just to read or add some remarks? We've been there. You can do all this in Connecter on the assets in question without disturbing your workflow. The Feedback feature seamlessly integrates with the Version Control system to further boost your production tracking. The tool is powerful and complex but requires zero setup - select an asset, hit Feedback, and start commenting and drawing.

Visual. On every asset.

More about the Feedback tool - you can use it on every asset, even the ones without visual representation in Connecter. Archive filled with assets? Add your comments and an image as a visual context if you want to visualise your ideas. Then draw and sketch upon it thanks to the many available markup tools. The possibilities are endless!

Version Control toolkit designed for visual artists

Goodbye, “_v13_final_final”

Take complete control over your asset’s content, while keeping your whole team in sync with its status. Each version will be safely stored in a cloud solution of your choice or a local server. Connecter will handle versioning, and give you options to roll back, review, and even make variations. All of this, while keeping everyone informed about the status of their local content, and showing the crucial visual information that every artist thrives on.

Connecter’s Version Control runs on most major cloud storages that you may already use. Its powerful compression mechanism will also save you space. Alternatively, you can set it up on your NAS or even local shared folder. You aren’t gonna be locked to a costly proprietary storage without a way out.

If the tags, descriptions, and previews aren't enough for your creative workflows, we got you covered. With Custom Properties, you can almost infinitely expand the attributes attached to your assets. You can share them across the team or keep them for personal use, like a deadline meaningful to you. The best part - the Custom Properties are very useful for quick filtering.

FAQ

Connecter Suite offers reliable management and high-performance synchronization of digital assets’ metadata allowing local or distributed team members to easily find content within workspaces hosted on Connecter Suite platform, on-premises, or on public/private cloud services. It comes with a web-based “Team portal” for teams and members management with granular access permissions controls, usage stats, and more.
Connecter Suite is offered as SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) and is licensed as a monthly or an annual subscription. There are four predefined price tiers - two for micro teams and two for bigger companies. Custom subscription plans are available for larger (or smaller) teams. Please contact us for a custom quote if you don’t fit the predefined plans.
No. Connecter Suite doesn’t mess with your actual files - they stay where they are: on your local network or any other assets sharing setup you use - but only manages the metadata (e.g. tags, descriptions, local paths to files, etc.) your team adds to those files in Connecter in order to organize them in a neat assets catalog.

Each subscription includes free hosting on the Connecter Suite platform with a one-click workspace setup. Shared workspaces can also be self-hosted on-premises (e.g. local network servers, remote managed servers, etc.) or on a public/private cloud service. The self-hosted option will require the setting up of a PostgreSQL database where all workspaces data* will be stored and managed.

*Workspace data don’t include the actual assets and their previews. Multiple setups are available for shared access to assets files and previews.

While user-generated data stored in your team workspaces can be hosted and managed on-premises, Connecter Suite still requires its cloud-based services to run teams and user management and web-based applications like Web Catalogs. In other words, you will always need an internet connection in order to use Connecter Suite.

If you already have a shared workspace with your team, you may consider Connecter Suite solution for the following reasons:

  • you’ve reached the maximum allowed number of 5 connections to the shared workspace;
  • you have a distributed team that needs a globally-accessible shared workspace that is not limited within the local network only;
  • you want to have your team using meaningful Connecter users accounts with granular access permissions;
  • want to publish assets metadata on Connecter Suite’s Web Catalogs web-based application to share curated catalogs with team members and external partners;
  • want to get notifications about changes in the workspace and user’s usage information.

Yes. In Connecter from Tools, select Migrate Workspace and pick one of your existing shared workspaces. If you need you can extract the existing custom previews to a folder that is accessible by your whole team. We recommend placing it where you store your assets.

Keep in mind that If you want to use Connecter Suite from multiple locations (outside your office), all assets should be hosted in a place accessible to all users - the easiest way is using some cloud service like Dropbox, Drive, etc.

Your Connecter Suite monthly subscription plan limits the number of concurrent users having simultaneous access to a shared workspace within your team. There’s no limit on how many team members you can add to your team but only the subscription plan-determined number of them can access your shared workspaces at any given time.

If the maximum number of active users is reached, you can upgrade to a higher subscription plan.

All information about teams and members is hosted and managed on Design Connected servers through a convenient web portal.

All team members can be invited (or restricted) and assigned to different workspaces with the respective access rights.

All information about your team and members is hosted on Design Connected platform and is being managed through a convenient Team web portal, which you can find here.

A maximum of 10 workspaces can be created within a team, where each one can be shared with a different number (limited by the active subscription plan) or/and different members. If you reach this limit and want more, please, contact our support team.

Yes, you can use Microsoft’s Azure AD Single Sing-On to manage your users and synchronize them with the Team Portal. Learn how to set it up here.
