Case Study: Carnegie Hall makes digital archives accessible with Orange Logic DAM

How Carnegie Hall manages its DAM archive, and how they successfully launched the public side of their Digital Collections

Carnegie Hall, the iconic New York performance venue, faced the challenge of organizing and making accessible its vast historical archives, which contained over 400 terabytes of assets. Their goal was to create a public portal for these materials, but they needed a digital asset management (DAM) system from a vendor like Orange Logic that could handle complex user permissions for different audiences and provide an easy-to-search experience for the public.

Working with Orange Logic, Carnegie Hall implemented a customized DAM platform that featured granular permissions controls and a branded public portal. This solution allowed the archives team to securely manage assets and collaborate internally. The results were highly successful, with the public site achieving an impressively low bounce rate of just 7%, which is 814% better than the industry benchmark, and a significant increase in user engagement.
