Gorilla Technology Group has launched digital asset management
software – Gorilla Share Box – as a cloud service, the first in a range of
video-centric offerings targeting media production companies and businesses
that are heavy users of video and photo content.
Gorilla Share Box solves the common hassle associated with managing, reviewing
and sharing video files by allowing easy search and previewing of content,
without requiring the need to open or download large source files. Tags and
metadata templates can be used to facilitate quick location of associated
digital files, including photos, audio, Microsoft Office documents, PDFs and
more.
As a project or customer account management tool, the Gorilla Share Box cloud
service provides a secure digital asset management environment from which a
marketing, training, or media business can manage multiple customer accounts
and their related creative assets. Users can preview video, photo, and document
files via a web browser without having to open files, while Share Box includes
user-account controls to manage access to individual folders, sharing of
content, and specific system functionality.
“Whether your business has long-term digital assets under management, or your
demands expand and contract based on project needs, Gorilla Share Box on the
cloud provides the scale and reach to service your customers, world-wide,” said
Gorilla Technology CEO, Dr Spincer Koh. “By eliminating the costs of
on-premises IT system ownership, Gorilla’s cloud services can drive ROI that’s
easily justified within a project budget, and quickly measured against each
project’s outcomes.”
Gorilla Share Box is deployed on cloud infrastructure provided through
Telstra’s global data center and trunking network, ensuring customers have a
robust cloud platform that supports their multinational operations.
Targeting organizations that are heavy users or creators of video for
communication purposes – such as advertising agencies, teaching institutions, production
houses and the like – Gorilla Share Box gives organizations better control over
their enterprise-wide content. Share Box consolidates management of that
content into a single platform, ensuring more efficient and secure use of IT
resources by minimizing file duplication and untangling reliance on typical
forms of content sharing such as email, ftp, or personal cloud-based services
for exchanging large media files.
As an enterprise platform, Gorilla Share Box on the cloud offers the following
key benefits for in-house collaboration and management of content that’s shared
with external teams:
