Canto launches Flight cloud system

Canto has announced a new cloud-based system, called Flight, to intelligently handle growing volumes of rich media files. It allows customers to store, capture metadata, sort, filter and share visual content quickly and easily.

According to Jack McGannon, Canto CEO: “Flight was developed for the increasing number of organisations looking to access applications in the cloud rather than deploy on their own infrastructure.”

Upon upload, Flight offers single click access to smartalbums that automatically assign all images, videos, audio files, presentations and documents into their respective content groupings.  Users can also mark any file as a “Favorite” to access frequently used content at any time with a single-tap and collaboration is enabled through Flight’s commenting feature. Keywords can be set up to maintain a controlled vocabulary but there are also tags for users to add freeform labels. Links can be shared via email or Dropbox with associated expiration dates on shared links.  Customers can also add their own brand to the platform.

The system is designed to complement Canto’s existing digital asset management program. There’s also an iPad app available.

It  runs on the Amazon Web Services Cloud as a subscription, with an Economy bundle package starting at $6,000 per year.

You can license the articles from Printing and Manufacturing Journal to reproduce in other publications. I generally charge around £150 per article but I’m open to discussing this for each title, particularly for publishers that want to use multiple stories. I can provide high res versions of images for print publications.

I’m used to working with overseas publishers and am registered for VAT with the UK’s HMRC tax authority but obviously won’t charge VAT to companies outside the UK. You can find further details and a licensing form from this page, or just contact me directly here.

Support this site

If you find the stories here useful then please consider making a donation to help fund Printing and Manufacturing Journal, either as a one-off or a repeat payment. Journalism is only really useful if it’s truly independent and this is the only such news source serving the print/ manufacturing sectors.

However, there are costs involved in travelling to cover events, as well as maintaining this site, not to mention the time that it takes to carry out research, check facts and interview people. So if you value this work, then please help to maintain it and keep it free to read.

Never miss a story – subscribe to Printing and Manufacturing Journal to receive an email notification every time an article is published here. It’s completely free of charge and you can cancel the subscription at any point without any hassle. There’s no need to provide any information other than an email address and subscribers details are not for sale so there’s no risk of any further marketing spam.
