Why but the professional tier? Well, we've taken out standard product and added in all the bits that tackle the challenges that larger or growing businesses face when managing multiple brands or lots of files.

SSO Integration
If, for example, your company uses an LDAP server, e.g. Windows Active Directory or Google OpenID, Asset Bank allows users to use their existing username and password to log in. View all of our current SSO options.
Related Assets
This allows you to define complex relationships between assets, including parent/child. Clients use this for various things including
- Having model release forms that are uploaded as child assets and are frequently linked to a series of images.
- Having a child asset that is a ZIP file that contains the artwork files, fonts, etc. that were used to create the parent asset, e.g. a PDF brochure.
Multiple Metadata Schemas
This gives you the flexibility to set up different groups of metadata fields for different types of asset. For example, having a 'Producer' field for video assets that does not appear on image assets.
REST API
Asset Bank provides a RESTful API so that other applications can add assets and metadata, or query the system to enable the retrieval of matching assets.
CMS Integration Module
For a seamless user experience, your image library software should integrate with your CMS to enable users to select and resize the images they want to use. Asset Bank has a generic module that will work with almost any CMS platform, and is straightforward to configure. Read more about our CMS Integration Module.
In addition to this module we also have specific CMS integrations listed below, and an optional module for Sitecore.

Multilingual
You can create a multilingual version of Asset Bank for the languages of your choice. This then defaults to the users' native language when they arrive at the site, allowing them to change this via a language pick list.
At any point in time we can export all Asset Bank user content (text visible on the user interface, email templates and asset metadata), allowing you to arrange for translation to the languages of your choice. We then re-import this data and configure Asset Bank to show this information to the relevant users.
Multiple Branding
Asset Bank can be configured to display different branding to different groups of users. This is typically used by agencies who use Asset Bank to share the materials that they have created for their larger clients.
AI Auto Tagging
Asset Bank Auto Tagging utilises Amazon Rekognition and Google Vision to scan images and generate tags automatically, saving you time and making it easier for people to find content. Additional auto-tag options include famous landmarks and OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
Published Lightboxes
These are a great way to push collections of content out to external contacts, without the need for them to login to Asset Bank. Assets can be added to a lightbox and then published to give you a link that can be password protected and shared externally. This will present a gallery view of the files, including key metadata and various download size options.
