Case Study: Mace Group achieves a centralised 30,000+ image library and streamlined sharing with OpenAsset

Mace Group - Customer Case Study

Mace Group, an international consultancy and construction firm, faced a growing content-management problem: over 30,000 graphics files were scattered across global servers, making it hard for 4,500 users to find high-quality images for bids, presentations and marketing. The information team needed a centralised, easy-to-use system to control uploads, keywords and versioning while improving the quality and consistency of assets used company-wide.

They implemented OpenAsset with separate categories for project photos, infographics, events and staff images, Albums for shared bid work, and a SharePoint integration plus AssetBar for one-click placement in InDesign/PowerPoint. The library is now widely adopted, users find and share images quickly, version replacements preserve links and metadata, and the organisation enjoys improved image quality, accessibility and streamlined workflows.
