Our custom-built image gallery allowed AXA to manage and distribute 1000s of corporate images and digital files from one central resource.

Overview

AXA are one of the UK's largest insurers. With headquarters in London and main offices in Bristol, Basingstoke, Tunbridge Wells and Dublin, they employ around 11,000 people and have approximately 10m UK customers.

They came to us with a requirement for an online image library that allows them to consolidate and manage all their digital assets from one central resource.

Objectives/Approach

The new system needed to be stable, robust and flexible enough to grow with the business and handle 1000s of searches and downloads every day.

Following a detailed brief and comprehensive list of business requirements, Soak developed a highly tailored solution that linked seamlessly with AXA's business and existing workflow processes, featuring:

• Safe and secure storage of 1000's of digital files including Jpeg, Tiff, EPS, PSD, PDF & PowerPoint
• A comprehensive search facility
• FTP and single file uploads
• Easy image tagging and classification
• Detailed statistics & reporting
• Dynamic image manipulation

Results

The new system has been easily adopted across the group and has had a significant impact on the way AXA organise and distribute their digital assets, saving the company significant amounts of time and money as well as:

• Improved brand consistency and compliance
• Easy tracking and distribution of assets across their workforce, agencies and business partners alike
• Improving business efficiencies across the group
• Reduced hardware and storage costs
• Safe and secure backups of all files.
