Press Release: Digital Asset Management Software fylr Now Available in France
Berlin, November 15, 2024 – Programmfabrik GmbH announces that its flexible Digital Asset Management (DAM) software, fylr, is now fully available in France, with complete French language support. This launch gives companies and institutions in France access to a scalable solution for efficient digital asset management without the need for programming skills.
fylr’s entry into the French market is backed by Programmfabrik’s longstanding partner, PDionne Photo Inc., who has already implemented fylr successfully for clients in Canada. Additionally, a local French partner ensures comprehensive support to meet the specific requirements of French users.
Why Choose fylr?
fylr offers more than just a standard DAM solution. The software allows media and metadata repositories to be individually configured without programming knowledge. One key advantage is its flexible data modeling, enabling institutions to tailor the software to their specific needs. Features like customizable input and output templates make fylr the ideal solution for organizations seeking highly personalized management of digital content without additional development costs or IT resources.
Additional Technical Advantages of fylr
- Secure rights management for controlled content administration
- Multi-language support, for both the user interface and content
- Interfaces such as RESTful API, CI-Hub, and WebDAV for seamless integration with existing systems
- Cross-platform installation options: fylr can be installed on Linux, Windows, and Kubernetes and supports diverse storage solutions like S3, Ceph, and Filesystem
Current Implementation at the Pointe-à-Callière Museum
A recent implementation of fylr in Canada showcases the successful project at Pointe-à-Callière, Montreal’s Museum of Archaeology and History. In Fall 2023, the museum migrated all of its Cumulus catalogs (formerly Canto) to Programmfabrik’s fylr platform. This migration enabled a comprehensive optimization of the entire workflow for documenting object collections as part of a project to make the museum’s ethnohistorical collection accessible online. The project was supported by PDionne Photo Inc., a certified fylr partner of Programmfabrik since March 2023 and formerly a certified partner of the Cumulus network. An in-depth analysis led to the decision in favor of fylr, selected for its open-source architecture, API functionalities, and extensive metadata management capabilities.
The complete case study is available in both languages:
