Challenge	Skanska, a leading construction and project development company, faced a significant challenge in managing its vast collection of images used for bids, reports, and marketing content. The company's previous system for managing digital content was inefficient and made it difficult for employees to find the images they needed, especially when they required content from other business units. The international team was out of sync, and a lot of time was wasted on inefficient workflows. The company needed a modern, centralized solution to make content accessible to everyone. The goal was to ensure fast and easy access to visual content across different business units in multiple countries. Read More
About Customer	Skanska is one of the biggest names in construction and project development, with over 30,000 employees in 11 countries across Europe and North America. Their diverse portfolio includes world-famous bridges, UN headquarters renovations, and the Oculus Transportation Hub at the World Trade Center. The group relies on a massive collection of images to document their projects and highlight their expertise in bids, reports, and marketing content. Sandra Rocklind manages the IT team responsible for content management, and Iréne Sjöberg is a graphic designer on the Skanska Group brand and marketing team. They work with the company’s images on a daily basis and ensure everyone on the Skanska team has access to the visuals they need to do their jobs. Read More
Solution	Skanska implemented Canto, a unified digital asset management system, across their business units. This system allowed different teams in different countries to upload and retrieve content from the same platform, making the process of finding the perfect image for a presentation or design project much faster and more intuitive. The majority of Skanska’s images were made available to the whole company, with restrictions applied to sensitive content when necessary. Users could apply custom filtering criteria to their searches, limiting their searches to specific types of images. The team also used Canto’s customizable Portals to create pre-curated collections of certain types of content. Skanska also created a custom DocuSign integration using the Canto API, which automatically added signed consent forms to the appropriate album in Canto, creating an easy, touch-free workflow.
