Basically we generate huge numbers of files: images, textures, animations, 3d models, motion capture files, vector art, logos, audio, inspirational showreels- so basically we need something that can store and track metadata on even unrecognised files, ready for searching later.
The main issue is knowing that a particular asset exists, but finding it in the giant backup library would take longer than just going out and making it again.
A secondary issue is finding a specific file when a client requests it- because usually the client doesnt know much more than a vague date, and us having no way of searching by client, job, or key number (as that's not how we organise our backups)
Something simple then. No collaboration or version management, just a nice simple database that tracks files. And displays them on a web page so anyone on the network can upload, search and retrieve.
oh and leveraging the monetization of our digital asset documentation platform is strictly optional.

Any ideas?
