Initial Setup
Before Daminion: A Large Archive That Became Impossible to Navigate
Over time, H. Henriksen accumulated a large project-based file library on their server. As an engineering company, they create a high volume of photos and documentation during projects, and those visuals become critical reference material when starting new work. In theory, they had internal protocols to keep the server structured—but in practice, the archive grew and became messy, leaving teams unable to reliably locate what they needed.
Engineers needed quick access to previous project data to identify proven solutions they could replicate or adapt. At the same time, marketing and sales teams needed a searchable repository to support customer work, produce user manuals, and prepare marketing collateral without wasting time digging through folders.

As an engineering company, we take a lot of pictures when working on different projects. So, when starting a new project it is always good to look at similar projects that we have already worked on, but this was impossible because our files were scattered all over the server.
We did have lots of protocols in place… but it got messy over time, so we needed a solution to organize our archive.

The Transformation with Daminion
Daminion gave H. Henriksen a practical way to bring structure back to their archive. Instead of relying on folder navigation, the team could centralize assets in one repository and tag them consistently, making search faster and more reliable for both engineers and marketers.
Today, H. Henriksen uses Daminion Local daily to manage a library of 50,000 images and videos, ensuring that project documentation stays accessible and reusable across teams. Engineers can quickly find earlier work for guidance on new projects, while marketing can locate the right visuals for client communication and documentation.

We are not a big company, but it is very important that our engineers and marketers can find the images they need. I believe that the type of software Daminion offers is needed by many companies to make sure their production and marketing teams are as efficient as possible.
