During the life cycle of an asset, from creation and approval to distribution and archiving, flexible and variable approval workflows are executed.
Online proofing is an important element of that extension of DAM system functions.
The Smart Review System integrates Kodak's proprietary imaging and colour technology in to a server-based proofing engine, enabling high-resolution on-screen proofing.
Because the server streams just the information that is needed, users can view high-resolution images over any internet connection, added the company.
Pieter Casneuf, a partner at Adam Software, said: "As one of the major DAM vendors, we want to offer our customers full integration with what we consider to be the best-of-breed system in high resolution approval workflows.
Therefore, Adam Software has chosen Kodak's Graphic Communications Group as OEM supplier for our workflow based systems." He continued: "The Kodak system gives us the ability to provide one fluid workflow to our customers, which incorporates the design, approval and distribution processes, whilst keeping full control of the assets within the life cycle.
Customers benefit from a highly technical system, which is presented to them via a very simple to use, personalized user interface.
This brings a reduction in errors and an increase in the speed with which the cycle is complete." Thierry Callot, Kodak's GCG Europe, Africa, and Middle East Region product marketing manager for portal products, said: "Adam is a well-respected supplier in its field, with a blue-chip client base and an excellent reputation.
