How Keepeek Uses CI HUB to Streamline Content Integration and Collaboration

In today's fast-paced digital environment, companies must efficiently manage and integrate content across various platforms to stay competitive. Keepeek, a widely-used content management platform, has found an innovative solution to this challenge by leveraging CI HUB's unique capabilities

This integration enhances collaboration, streamlines workflows, and significantly improves the user experience for those using Microsoft Office Suite and Adobe Creative Cloud. Here's how Keepeek utilizes CI HUB to achieve these benefits!

 

 

 

What is Keepeek and How Does it Work?

Keepeek is a Digital Asset Management software with advanced features to create, store and disseminate brand content, photos, videos and all other formats with validation workflows and Kanban boards. The platform integrates with PIM solutions to provide adequate image and video formats for eCommerce and corporate websites.

Leading companies such as Airbus, Stellantis Group, Renault and Orange rely on Keepeek's robust platform for content management. Keepeek provides a web interface that allows users to integrate new content and validate it collaboratively. This user-friendly interface also supports downloading and sharing content, ensuring that teams can work together efficiently.

 

The Challenge: Simplifying Content Integration for Microsoft Office and Adobe Users

One of Keepeek's primary goals is to simplify the content integration process for end users, especially those who use Microsoft Office Suite and Adobe Cloud regularly.

According to Keepeek CEO Thomas Larzilliere, “Our goal is to simplify the gestures of the end user, especially those who use Microsoft Suite daily. They idea is to be able to dynamically retrieve content from Keepeek and import it directly into Microsoft documents like PowerPoint, Word and so on.” 

However, maintaining this plugin proved to be quite challenging and resource-intensive.
