SDA Notes Released: Powerful, Integrated Annotating online

As the number of digital files increase, the demand to organize and repurpose those files grows as well. This is why having a digital asset management system in place is critical for any business to create new efficiencies with existing workflows.

SDA Notes allows project members to preview a document and make notes to individual pages of the document during production. Each time a user makes a note his/her name is recorded and displayed with his/her note. Instead of emailing documents to a group of 5 people and waiting for a flurry of emails from project members, participants can log into the site, mark up a document and see each other's comments. Once the designer reads the comments and makes changes to the original, he/she adds a newer version while the system notifies participants to check the document for an update. Every version carries a history of the notes collected.

As the number of digital files increase, the demand to organize and re-purpose those files grows as well. This is why having a digital asset management system in place is critical for any business to create new efficiencies with existing workflows.

If you can't find it, it might as well not exist. Even if you find the file you are looking for, if you don't know enough about it you may not be able to use it. Secure Digital Assets added the ability to support XMP in order to preserve data embedded into the file at the time of creation organizing and carrying that meta data for that file making it "smarter".

In addition to XMP support, streaming and storyboarding video is now possible. Secure Digital Assets is dedicated to supporting the ability to manage pre-production and long term archiving of video.
