Case Study: Tarkett achieves faster asset access and global digital-asset control with OpenText Media Management

Tarkett Takes Control of Digital Assets with OpenText

Tarkett, a 130‑year‑old global leader in flooring and sports surfaces with €2.715 billion in 2015 sales, operates 34 manufacturing sites across 17 countries and manages tens of thousands of product lines in multiple languages and certified use cases. Managing product images, datasheets and certifications across disparate regional systems made assets hard to find, created duplicates and version uncertainty, and slowed product launches—prompting the company to seek a better digital asset management approach to protect compliance and improve customer experience.

Tarkett chose OpenText Media Management and worked with OpenText Professional Services on a phased implementation, going live in under three months. By centralizing assets, applying up to 27 metadata fields and enabling faceted search, the solution cut asset retrieval from days to minutes, eliminated duplication, ensured users access the latest approved versions, and established a scalable foundation to speed time to market, expand access to thousands of staff and broaden asset types managed.
