Integration & APIs
Many companies wish to integrate OpenAsset with their existing systems. Integration helps user adoption of OpenAsset which is key to building a successful image library resource.
OpenAsset was developed as a web based application that can integrate with complex IT systems such as projects databases and intranet portals such as SharePoint. The following table outlines what can be achieved by integrating OpenAsset with your current infrastructure:
| Active Directory / LDAP | For authenticating passwords, automatically detecting new users and creating access privileges for OpenAsset. |
| Single Sign-on | To sign in users automatically, removing the need for them to enter their username and password. |
| Link APIs | Directly link to landing pages in OpenAsset |
| RSS Feeds | Pull images and data out of OpenAsset and display them on your intranet or website |
| Web Services & SOAP | Push data into OpenAsset from other databases |
Out of the box
Out of the box OpenAsset comes delivered with many tools for integrating into your existing systems. These include features to integrate with Active Directory and support single sign-on.
