Case Study: San Francisco Ballet saves time on photo approvals and sharing with Fotoware DAM

How San Francisco Ballet Uses DAM To Manage Content

The San Francisco Ballet, the United States' oldest professional ballet company, needed a more efficient way to manage its high volume of performance photos. Their manual process for obtaining image approvals from dancers and the artistic department was time-consuming, lacked proper documentation, and was environmentally unfriendly. They turned to Fotoware for a Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution to streamline this workflow.

Fotoware implemented a DAM system that automated the image approval process, creating a clear digital trail. The solution also included a self-serve press archive, allowing external media to directly access and download images. This eliminated a previously cumbersome 2-3 hour upload process, saving significant time for the ballet's staff and ensuring all assets met legal requirements.
