Gruppo Cannon has created a digital archive in a simple and intuitive way thanks to Interacta

The challenge

The need for intelligent DAM software

To do its job even better, there was one aspect that Cannon Group felt it wanted to improve. Every day, the company had to manage, archive and share a large amount of files, photos and videos to support the design, construction and maintenance of industrial machinery. Interacta was chosen by the company to automate and streamline this process. Previously, Cannon employees used a file system, which made research a very long and laborious process. Furthermore, from there it was not possible to share materials in real time with those who needed them. This caused continuous time losses and misalignment between the teams involved in designing the machinery.

The solution

The Interacta solution for managing digital assets in a collaborative, rapid and simple way

Interacta was implemented very quickly in the companies of the Cannon Group. Following the success of the project, it was also extended to the quality department to add new collaboration and process management features to the systems already in place.

How Cannon uses Interacta

Efficient archiving

Interacta allows you to archive multimedia documents in a single, secure environment managed through guided and controlled workflows. Documents can be classified with unique hashtags and found, even in the future, with a simple search. Each file is managed through posts, where it is possible to insert additional information with comments, attach additional documents and mention colleagues with specific skills using @mentions. Imagine the difference for people at Cannon who work with thousands of files every day.

Complete view of all company documents

On Interacta, the management of each document occurs spontaneously. As people upload photos and videos to the solution, they are indexed and categorized on the platform. The ability to add feedback and notes means that a single file is enriched with "qualitative elements" that are difficult to find with classic DAM software. All flows relating to document research then always remain visible in dashboards and customized reports.

Results

People today find what they are looking for in the right format and at the right time

The Cannon Group is strongly committed to achieving the objectives of maximum efficiency and reuse of industrial and water resources, through innovation and sustainability that derive from the implementation of Industry 4.0 models. In this context, Interacta has become the natural and intelligent DAM solution that allows you to optimize an important part of the business, with a whole series of advantages:

• today over 80 people when they need a material open Interacta and find what they are looking for in a few minutes;
• all files are classified by type and management flow and become searchable and accessible in the right format and when they are needed;
• people no longer have to spend time searching for materials and can dedicate themselves to other activities with greater added value;
• try to imagine how many files circulate within a company. Creating duplicates that then get lost in the depths of the management system is a very common thing. With Interacta each document has its own unique hashtag and does not have to be imported every time.

Strengths

Thanks to the elasticsearch feature, finding the documents you need is a matter of seconds. It's basically like having the Google search bar applied to your company's digital assets, which provides secure and personalized results.

Value for business

Managing important files has a big impact on the daily activities of a business. Thanks to Interacta, the Cannon Group has managed to go further and reduce the search times for digital documents and obtain a complete view of the document management flows.
