5th Kind

CORE by 5th Kind is a secure DAM (digital asset management) and workflow management system that utilizes a metadata driven architecture to centralize and secure all digital files, improve collaboration, eliminate duplication, simplify access, and reduce costs by consolidating disparate solutions and simplifying the reuse of assets across the entire organization. CORE supports several workflows, including: real-time collaboration, dailies review, marketing distribution, localization pipeline, Studio Asset Management, and MAM (Media Asset Management). For over 10 years 5th Kind has been working with Hollywood's top studios to securely manage the work-in-progress to archive pipeline for some of the most creative and sensitive feature films. We have worked side by side with our customers through security challenges faced when managing millions of unique pieces of creative content at high velocity across all facets of the creative and business life cycle. We welcome the opportunity to share the lessons we have learned relative to topics such as: How metadata can be the backbone of your security policies; the relationships between decision making and access controls; the complexities of the film production pipeline.
