Case Study: Sydney Living Museums improves digital asset discoverability with Fotoware DAM in the cloud

5 Reasons Why Sydney Living Museums Moved to DAM in the Cloud

Sydney Living Museums (SLM), an organization preserving 12 historic properties in New South Wales, faced challenges maintaining its on-premise digital asset management (DAM) system, including server maintenance, accommodating data growth, and the resource drain of administration and backups. To overcome these hurdles, they turned to the Fotoware DAM solution to better manage their vast heritage archives.

By migrating their Fotoware system to a cloud-hosted solution in MS Azure, SLM achieved significant improvements. The solution streamlined file ingestion and workflows, enabled AI tagging for greater discoverability, and integrated with third-party systems. This resulted in their digital assets being more accessible to a wider audience, both internally and externally, and freed up staff to focus on core tasks. Fotoware provided a secure, scalable environment that has allowed SLM to get greater value from its collection.
