Thank you Glenn for your helpful comment, I really appreciate it 🙂

I know that organizations from small photographer businesses to government agencies and non-profit businesses outsource portions of image management. Often it’s just to do tagging of images. Sometimes it’s about categorizing them, or grouping related images.

One reason clients of DBGallery, the DAM system for which I am product manager, love it is because it provides the ability to open the asset collection to outsiders, be they volunteers, work-term students, or outsourcing companies. It allows restrictions of which folders and collections they have access to, and even what they can do there. Once they’re finished their work, it’s sometimes configured with a status of Ready to Publish, at which point the internal manager moves them to published folders. Opening a image/asset collection can be a huge benefit of having the collection available in the cloud and shouldn’t be quickly discarded.

Thank you for your comment Alex, I would probably recommend “Phase One Media Pro” or something similar to manage large photo libraries.

At the moment it’s so close, but can’t be used easily at an Enterprise level. Eg. Folder structure, tags etc.

What would you suggest for a company with 100,000 photos?
