Case Study: Scottish Natural Heritage achieves powerful search and streamlined digital asset management with Reuters Imagen

Imagen Platform Helps Scottish National Heritage To Inspire People About Nature

Scottish Natural Heritage, the public body responsible for Scotland’s natural heritage, faced a fragmented media landscape: an enormous catalogue of images, video and audio used by over 700 staff across 40 locations was scattered across multiple bespoke systems and social platforms. Poor metadata, difficult video discovery and manual clipping made it hard for staff to find and share the right assets, reducing productivity and hindering collaboration.

Reuters Imagen implemented its Imagen platform as a single digital-asset solution, adding rich and time-based metadata, in‑platform clipping, annotations, curated collections and fast downloads, and enabling cloud migration and a public upload portal for campaigns. The Reuters Imagen solution made the system intuitive for staff, reduced admin time, improved asset discovery and sharing, and helped SNH align with wider business goals while increasing staff engagement and efficiency.
