An evolved take on storage management
The integration of qualified 3rd party storage into the ELEMENTS environment grants access to a wide range of management tools and features, and our editor-friendly interface lets you work with your assets in an intuitive manner. This easy-to-understand approach means you don’t need to rely on IT admins to organise and maintain the system. Empower the creative teams instead and let them control the storage as part of their everyday workflow.
Furthermore, the qualified 3rd party storage is expanded by a wide range of ELEMENTS management tools and features, developed exclusively for media use-cases.

Supercharge your workflows by utilising ELEMENTS tools and features, purpose-built to support the media industry. Whether automating your day-to-day tasks with the powerful Workflow Automation Engine or enjoying worldwide collaboration through the Media Library, ELEMENTS tools provide everything you need to boost the productivity in your media workflows.
