CreativeConnections™ for ActiveMedia®

CreativeConnections extends the power of ActiveMedia to users of Adobe InDesign® and QuarkXPress®. Without leaving their layout application, creative users can interact with ActiveMedia to facilitate digital asset workflow and ensure version control.

Simplifies Creative Workflow

CreativeConnections acts as a central, shared digital media repository of both assets and layout files for cross-team, cross-location accessibility. With drag-and-drop ease, users can create complex documents using all the approved assets that reside within ActiveMedia, then save their work back into the system for sharing with other team members.

ActiveMedia enables designers to quickly search, view, and download images, documents, layout files and other digital media content- from any location- directly from within their layout application—controlled by permissions and privileges. The media storage repository manages the links between related assets so that when a graphic is updated, the new version appears in all locations immediately and automatically.
