Xinet - Streamline your creative workflow

Xinet by North Plains is a Digital Asset Management System aimed primarily at media and design companies. Their files are managed in a visual database and can be organized according to individual requirements. This database can be access from any web browser and mobile device, with the possibility
to preview, download, share and distribute assets 24/7.
The DAM system offers features for multi-site collaboration and automated workflows as well as version tracking, approval processes and quality control.

To make sure that assets remain safe even when they are not currently used, Xinet can be combined with Archiware P5 Archive. Connected with Xinet through the middleware OnFile by InPress Systems, P5 takes control of migrating unused assets to a Disk or Tape Archive.
Using the combination of Xinet, OnFile and P5, Archiving can be done automatically or manually, either directly from the Xinet Portal basket or through hot folders. It is even possible to add an approval process before archiving files.
Restore processes can equally be scheduled or triggered manually, with e-mail notifications for completed processes.
