Digital Asset Management since 1999
Attention Solutions builds Digital Asset Management on Fylr for museums, archives, public administration and business. We have been doing it for more than 25 years: analysis, installation, customisation, training and support, all from one house.

What is DAM
Digital media carries more and more of what an organisation communicates. Even so, time goes every day to finding the right file. Time that could be spent smarter. Files sit in several places, in several versions, and nobody quite knows who is using what, whether it is the current version, or whether the rights allow it at all.
A DAM gathers them in one place and attaches metadata: article number, date, photographer, rights, description. From there files can be found by something other than their filename - and passed on to the systems that need them.
Typical file types
The platform
Fylr is one of the most widely used DAM products on the market, and it is the platform we build on. It handles the core: storage, cataloguing, search, rights and distribution. On top of that we add our own modules and the customisation that makes the system fit the way you actually work.
In-house products
Fylr covers the core. We built the rest because customers needed it - portals, synchronisation with file servers and museum systems, scheduled jobs, publishing, and administration of large data sets.
AWP
The publishing platform for Fylr
The portal colleagues, the public and external partners meet. AWP gives access to selected parts of the material in Fylr with the search, the views and the look you want — and with control over who may download what.
SCHEDULER
The work that has to happen every night
Define tasks that run automatically on a schedule you set. Heavy jobs move outside working hours, and the tasks nobody wants to remember simply get run. The manager is a plugin in Attention Control Center; the work is done by a service on the machine where it needs to happen.
AMS
Collection system and media bank, one reality
Ties Fylr to the museum's collection management system so catalogue records, vocabularies and digital assets stay aligned without manual work. Catalogue data stays authoritative in the collection system, the files stay controlled in Fylr, and AMS makes sure information runs the right way.
