Case Study: Yorkshire & North East Film Archives accelerates media access with Reuters Imagen

Yorkshire & North East Film Archives sends 15 screeners in 5 minutes with Reuters Imagen

The Yorkshire & North East Film Archives, a registered charity, faced a resource-heavy and time-consuming manual process for supplying content to users and production companies. This limited their ability to service requests and fulfill their charitable aim of making their film collections accessible. They needed a robust digital asset management system to streamline workflows and maintain their high preservation standards, leading them to partner with Reuters Imagen.

By implementing the Imagen Pro platform, Reuters Imagen provided a solution that dramatically sped up the archive's content distribution. The results included a significant increase in sales and the ability to service far more requests in the same amount of time; processes that once took five hours were reduced to five minutes. This efficiency allowed the archive to expand its community engagement and confidently accept more content requests, with the manager crediting the Reuters Imagen system as being equivalent to having an additional staff member.
