Achieving full control of digital assets and collections with DAM
20. December 2023
Key challenges
Before implementing Fotoware DAM, the Norwegian Petroleum Museum experienced a range of difficulties in managing visuals:
Lack of control: The old system had limited options for access settings, resulting in reduced control of the stored collections and an increased risk of accidental duplicates or deletions.

Missing or unstructured metadata: Without the option of systematically adding metadata during workflows or building customized data structures, the museum had difficulties ensuring that assets and collections were properly organized and easy to find and use.
Restricted server capabilities: With several people accessing and using the same server, it was prone to recurring performance issues, increasing the risk of slow processes, data loss, and data corruption.
— "The ability to assign unique metadata to assets allows for seamless filtering based on project relevance. This customization ensures that assets are precisely organized and made available to the correct project stakeholders. Fotoware's role in creating a focused and streamlined workflow, tailored to each project's needs, significantly enhances our project management and collaboration efficiency."
As an added bonus, the system also allows for seamless external sharing, offering the museum full control over who can view, download, or delete visuals - both inside and outside the organization.
