Case Study: ZGF Architects achieves streamlined image management and firm-wide efficiency with OpenAsset

Why Migrating From iDam to OpenAsset is as simple as ZGF

ZGF Architects, a 70‑year‑old design firm with about 470 staff across five U.S. offices, struggled with an inconsistent, hard‑to‑use digital asset library after outgrowing their web‑based iDAM. They needed a more intuitive system that integrated with the design tools and business systems the studios use daily so teams could find and reuse approved images without burdening marketing.

Migrating to OpenAsset — with hands‑on support — delivered fast data and metadata transfer and native connectors to Deltek Vision, SharePoint and Active Directory. The platform’s clear interface, automatic image sizing and design‑software connectivity increased adoption, eliminated duplicate image versions, improved efficiency, and made high‑quality assets widely available across the firm.
