During 2004 a fully-fledged FotoWare multi media archiving and digital workflow system was implemented at the Thairath Daily with great success. The FotoWare system was provided and fully implemented by distributor NOISIA Co., Ltd. Bangkok, Thailand.
The FotoWare system automates the complete workflow and standardizes the picture formats, quality and descriptions. The picture workflow is taken care of from the input in the photo lab, scanning lab and remote office departments all the way to the daily picture processing, output and long term archiving in the library department.
Mr. Thanin Teranasarn, Pre-Press Manager at Thairath Daily says that before they implemented the FotoWare system, Thairath did not have one common system and standard user interface to handle the retrieval and processing of pictures, text and other digital media.
"Now with the new FotoWare system the efficiency of our daily operations has increased substantially, since we can provide the users with one single system, standard and interface for processing all media assets and digital workflow operations."
Mr. Thanin continues: "since the FotoWare system fully supports both Thai and English language in all important areas such as input of text files, captioning and description of pictures and the full text search, it is now very easy and fast to search and retrieve data in Thai as well as in English."
All searches, retrieval, forwarding and processing of pictures and data is now handled directly from the user's desktop, using a standard Internet browser to access and control the operations in the FotoWare system.
Even in archives containing hundreds of thousands of documents, the search response is within seconds, and the retrieval and forwarding of selected pictures in the digital workflow can easily be performed instantly.
With the FotoWare system, the multi media library has also been fully integrated into the editorial and production workflow environment. The users can search, retrieve and forward the digital media to be forwarded and processed in other departments according to preset specifications and instructions.
The complete library, of pictures, text and clippings, book information and personalities, accumulated since the beginning of the nineties, was formerly kept in several outdated archiving systems, and have now all been converted to FotoWare.
By signing a Software Support Agreement (SSA) with FotoWare Thairath Daily protect their investment. With the SSA they are always provided with the latest updates and upgrades of the FotoWare system.
