Fáilte Ireland, along with sister agencies Tourism Ireland and Tourism Northern Ireland, work to promote tourism on the island of Ireland. Individual tourism trades and industry use the imagery to help promote their businesses.

By establishing an easy-to-use Photography Upload Portal, Fáilte Ireland has managed to dramatically increase its access to quality imagery and the process added zero extra cost to its production budget.

An easy to use, simple to implement portal

Creating a photography upload portal to upload images from scratch can be a daunting prospect. Fortunately for Fáilte Ireland, censhare’s Headless CMS (HCMS) Starter Kit is an intuitive and simple technology to implement.

Better still, all three tourist agencies already use censhare’s Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution. With 60,000 digital assets being efficiently managed across 350 internal and 20,000 external users, the agencies already had a firm censhare foundation on which to build the portal.

Existing relationships an advantage

Adding the upload portal to the existing installation only took a few weeks, with Fáilte Ireland’s Project Manager Content Pool, Brenda Harris noting it was both “very straightforward” and “easily adapted”.

Building on an existing system wasn’t just helpful from a technological perspective. Fáilte Ireland also benefited from the ongoing relationship with censhare.

“We have had more than 10,000 uploads from trade members. We were astonished by the numbers. You have to remember, every upload helps us promote Ireland at no extra cost.”

Improving workflows

With the portal installed, Fáilte Ireland and the individual tourism trades and industry were now able to upload their chosen photography, as well as including critical information such as copyright agreements (GDPR compliance). The process means photographers and trade members can print, sign, scan and upload an agreement easily and quickly.

Details at your fingertips

Just having a partner’s contact details attached to each image is a simple detail that can make a world of difference to Fáilte Ireland’s efficiency and effectiveness. There are plans in place to add digital signatures to the workflow shortly.

Flexibility to adapt to future needs

Using Headless CMS (HCMS) to add a photography portal to Failte Ireland’s existing censhare DAM has been a simple yet highly effective upgrade, but the work doesn’t stop there.

The flexibility of the censhare platform that the Tri Agency has been building means that there is always room to improve. There is scope to be yet more efficient and deliver even better UX.
