business advantage Sustainable Cost Savings - iKoSoL provides sustainable savings through: reducing courier costs associated with image delivery, reducing the time required to sort and file images, improving productivity of staff, and greatly improved order fulfillment rates. Increased Revenues - additional licensing opportunities via online distribution of content allows your digital assets to be accessed by a world wide audience. Simple Hosting Model - means you do not have to worry about maintaining an integrated ecommerce server, staffing customer service phone banks or handling the technical intricacies of building a Web-ready archive. Coopetition - cooperation and competition at the same time, providing the strategy and benefits for survival and growth in an increasingly competitive market place. iKoSoL offers an advanced technological solution for coopetition where you share customer base and costs of IT infrastructure, while still competing on your unique qualities of content and service. Cooperative Marketing - iKoSoL has allocated a significant marketing budget to promote the DAM system and Portal, and also to showcase the agencies and photographers involved. Return on Investment - three-year ROI for DAM solutions averages 8 times (via increased revenues, greater business valuation, process improvements, cost-reductions and asset creation). Asset Security - iKoSoL provides digital asset protection and rights management via a number of methods. iKoSoL uses its own watermarking technology that embeds the watermark into the digital asset. Assets can be watermarked as they enter the system or "on-the-fly" as they are downloaded. Rights Management - iKoSoL is also a comprehensive and flexible rights management tool that is template-based, allowing the administrator to define the rights associated with unique assets. The system uses a series of questions based on the possible uses of the assets to determine the cost of usage. The questions are completely defined by the owners of the assets, and allow new uses or license types to be easily added. For example, rights can be established to track and control the way the media assets are used, limit resolution and delivery methods of assets, initiate an order approval form, enable the granting of rights, or apply appropriate fees to an order (ecommerce). Improved Inventory Management - because all usage of an image is recorded in a central database, it's a lot easier to keep track of and control where an image is placed and pay commissions. It also allows clients to find an image online, as opposed to the labor intensive manual searches of a traditional photographic library. Order Fulfillment Rate and Reduced Time-to-Market - by displaying images online, customers can preview all images and then select the image for download. This will greatly increase order fulfillment rates, reduce costs from sending out incorrect images and delivery of customer orders becomes almost instantaneous. Infallible Photographic Records - in the event of theft, fire or damage to a collection of valuables, iKoSoL could be used to aid recovery and insurance claims.
