Partners for the education sector: Academic Software and Fotoware
We’re happy to share that Fotoware Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems are available through Academic Software’s platform. This partnership makes it easier than ever for educational institutions to access our DAM solutions.
Academic Software, a division of Signpost, is a full-service provider for the education sector, helping schools and universities select, purchase, distribute, and manage the digital tools they need, efficiently and affordably. For many institutions, software procurement can be a long and complex process that often involves public tenders, so Academic Software specializes in providing a structured, smooth procurement process that benefits both vendors and customers.
— “When we first started talking to Academic Software, we immediately saw the potential for a strong partnership and value for academic institutions, combining their procurement and deployment expertise with our proven DAM solutions.”
At the core of this partnership is a shared goal: to provide a frictionless way for institutions to procure, implement, and access essential software, so they can focus on what matters most.
What this means for clients
Educational institutions now benefit from simplified access to Fotoware, directly through a channel they already know and trust: Academic Software. That means schools receive full support with licensing, deployment, and administration, easing the burden on IT teams while ensuring a smooth experience for users across departments.
Fotoware adds clear value for institutions working with visual content. While many universities already use a combination of design and photo editing tools, they often lack a system to properly store, tag, organize, and share those assets. Fotoware fills that gap, bringing structure and efficiency to creative workflows and enabling long-term management of shared media across teams and programs.
In addition to functional benefits, the partnership also reflects an important shift in how educational institutions are approaching digital transformation: prioritizing well-managed, fully integrated, scalable solutions that reduce complexity while helping users to work seamlessly with the media files and content they rely on every day.
For educators, administrators, and IT teams, working with Academic Software and Fotoware means more time to focus on their core mission - delivering quality education - while knowing their digital assets are well-managed and accessible.
