Zebra Technologies builds tracking technology and solutions that generate actionable information and insight, giving companies unprecedented visibility into their businesses by giving physicals things a digital voice.
When Zebra acquired Motorola Solutions in the fall of 2014 with it came thousands of assets to merge, convert, and store in Zebra's systems. Not only did Zebra have to remove the Motorola name, logo, and references from all this collateral, they legally only had 180 days to complete the task.
With the help of ICF Olson, Zebra selected and implemented Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets, Adobe's Digital Asset Management (DAM) system, to create a single source of truth for assets that populate the three key areas of their business: the Zebra website, the Source, Zebra's sales portal, and the Zebra Media Library.
"Asset management is big business...these enhancements can save a lot of time, money, and make a big impact."
-Samantha Rosa, Manager, User Experience for Zebra
ICF Olson first integrated with Zebra's PING Identify Manager and Single Sign On (SSO) solution to give existing users access to authorized content. This allowed AEM Assets to seamlessly integrated with Zebra's website, powered by AEM Sites, so assets were easily reachable and categorized for content authors.
Olson Digital then tackled the Source, Zebra's sales portal, adding custom enhancements to the admin form, allowing for assets uploaded to the DAM to be pushed in near real time to the Source.
