How the asset management system Casper came into being
“Efficient image management.”

The importance of image data management for ThiemeMeulenhoff
Illustrations have become crucial in the year 2021. So in order to be able to respond to new market demands, image and content management in general have to be up to speed. How does ThiemeMeulenhoff deal with this these days? With Casper, our asset management system. Let’s take a look!
How Casper offered the answer to a gap in the market
ThiemeMeulenhoff had been looking for a new image bank for some time. Helpful partner at hand? Crius Group, of course. We soon came to the conclusion that none of the solutions on the market fully satisfied our requirements, so together we developed Casper, our own asset management system.
Now ThiemeMeulenhoff benefits from software that does precisely what they want it to and we at Crius Group have a new product that can also make other customers happy. A real win-win situation!

The three main Casper applications
1. Editing in several places at the same time
The bigger picture, that's what it’s all about with Casper. After all, asset management is no longer simply about storing pictures and generating the related metadata. Where are illustrations used? And if I edit an illustration, how do I make sure it is adapted everywhere it is used? That is the challenge that we resolved with Casper.
2. A handy search engine for images created inhouse and externally
Of course, Casper can do far more than just that. For instance, the ThiemeMeulenhoff team can now look for illustrations directly from our content editor and they can also view public image banks to which they subscribe
3. Minimum storage space
What about different formats? The use of image recipes means that images are available in the required print and digital formats. But the conversion is done automatically only when it actually becomes necessary for publication. This avoids unnecessary storage of images in various formats!
Is ThiemeMeulenhoff satisfied?
“Most definitely. We remained in control throughout the development process and so we have got exactly what we wanted.
Thanks to the input from Crius Group, smart solutions have been incorporated that really help us. Now we have an effective process, the images are stored in the cloud and what’s more, we pay a lot less than we used to”, Lead Smart Learning Technology, Pieter Ruempol concludes.
