Case Study: NASA streamlines image management and saves time with Human Made’s Asset Manager Framework

NASA saves 2 months of development time with Human Made

The US space agency NASA faced a challenge in replatforming its website from Drupal 7 to WordPress, which included the need to efficiently manage its vast library of iconic images while ensuring compliance with federal accessibility and accreditation rules. Their existing process was laborious and lacked safeguards, so they partnered with vendor Human Made to leverage its open source Asset Manager Framework plugin.

Human Made's solution provided a seamless integration with NASA's own image repository, handling the complex API connection within the WordPress media library. This saved an estimated two months of development time and now saves content creators 5-10 minutes per image on average. The implementation by Human Made ensured compliance, eliminated duplicate images, and allowed authors to focus on creating scientific content.
