What’s New With Extensis Connect?

Written by Extensis | May 18, 2022

For the first time ever, Extensis Connect unites font management and digital asset management in one place, securely, through single sign-on (SSO) and multifactor authentication capabilities. In late 2020 we introduced Extensis Connect as a cloud-based digital asset management system for creative teams. And now, we are expanding Extensis Connect to combine two solutions in a single platform—no internal server or VPN required:

  • Connect Assets is our cloud-based digital asset management system for marketing teams and agencies. Research has shown that creative professionals spend almost two hours every single day looking for digital assets. With Connect Assets, you can quickly search your collection from any device and easily share files with team members, clients, and vendors. The system will automatically tag your files with relevant keywords so you can skip busywork and focus on your real work. And if you’re already using a cloud-based storage service like Dropbox, Box, or Google Drive, Connect Assets fits perfectly into your workflow. Upload digital files to Connect Assets directly from any of these third-party tools and you’re ready to roll.
  • Connect Fonts Powered By Suitcase unites desktop font management with the cloud. Connect Fonts is a major update to the world’s best desktop font management system Suitcase Fusion. In many organizations, fonts are scattered across local computers, email, and on-site servers. With Connect Fonts, you can view your fonts from your web browser on any device. Stay in the zone and find your fonts faster with intuitive search. And if you’re looking for the perfect combination of fonts, Connect Fonts can automatically deliver font pairing suggestions to complement any client, style, or mood.

Extensis Connect comes with all the benefits of SSO and multifactor authentication: no repetitive signing in, control over who has access to which data, time saved managing multiple users, proven authentication processes and additional security with the identity provider (IdP) you already use, and strong resistance to cyber attacks.

We united font management and digital asset management in one cloud-based platform because many teams currently stand at a crossroads. Design professionals need better ways to store, view, and organize their creative assets. Many organizations have to sift through thousands of fonts and tens of thousands of images, videos, and other digital assets to create their best work. Meanwhile, clients keep raising their standards as companies all around the world try to accommodate remote employees. Extensis Connect gives you a way to overcome this creative chaos and invent amazing.

Most agencies and marketing teams don’t have dedicated IT departments to help with new software. Connect Fonts and Connect Assets are easy to launch, easy to learn, and easy to use. You don’t need to wrestle with complicated settings on a server to experience the value of Extensis Connect. Getting started is easy, and SSO and identity authentication from your desktop and web browser means you can continue to work securely while saving time.

 

Calm your creative chaos with Extensis Connect.
