How Is It Utilized?

You have a collection of artwork, in various forms, some owned, some licensed, in multiple locations. Identifying, quantifying and tracking these assets is a challenging task. Is the image in a digital format? Was it scanned for print or the web? How is it stored and where is it located?

Interchange is an Internet accessible application that organizes your digital assets and provides intelligent access to those assets at anytime, from anywhere. Share asset information and access with your partners securely and efficiently.

Chakra maintains the Interchange platform. You have no software to install and maintain.

Flexible

• Images are tagged and organized with flexible search and identification information. Multiple versions of the same asset are stored to support low and high-resolution requirements as well as multimedia publishing (print and web). Interchange becomes an extension of your data storage network or integrates with your digital production workflows.

Secure

• The Interchange solution is firewall protected and resides on a powerful Silicon Graphics, Inc. Origin 2000 server. Your images are stored on redundant and recoverable high-capacity disk arrays, and served to you via high-speed Internet connections.

Affordable

Interchange™ fees are based upon a combination of license fees, and bandwidth and storage requirements.
