Introduction
Corporations with vast media libraries have more monetization opportunities than ever. Pursuing those opportunities requires efficient cataloging, storage, preservation, and easy accessibility. Media libraries without these features face the risk of lost, damaged, or underutilized content–especially in complex, mixed media archives composed of film reels, hard drives, video tapes, still photos, and other formats.
With decades of media preservation and storage expertise, PRO-TEK Vaults provides corporations with a comprehensive Asset Management Service that safeguards valuable media and streamlines cataloging and curation. Our process ensures that every asset is identified, organized, and integrated into the client’s preferred asset management system, setting the foundation for seamless retrieval and monetization.

Why Corporations Need Professional Media Asset Management
Corporations, studios, and media enterprises often accumulate vast content libraries over time. However, without a structured system in place, these assets can become liabilities rather than assets. Improperly cataloged media can lead to inefficiencies, duplication, underutilization, and even permanent loss of valuable content.
The primary challenges businesses face include:
- Unorganized Archives: Decades of accumulated media with no clear indexing.
- Multiple Formats: Physical film, video tapes, external drives, still images, and digital files scattered across various locations.
- Risk of Deterioration: Film and tape-based assets degrade over time without proper storage and handling.
- Risk of Digital Decay: Files on physical storage devices can be impacted by Bit Rot, Media Degradation, Hardware Failures, and Environmental Factors.
- Risk of Obsolescence: Hardware and software changes make older versions difficult to maintain and operate..
- Limited Accessibility: Quickly retrieving the right asset can be time-consuming without a structured database.
PRO-TEK Vaults’ Asset Management Service tackles these challenges head-on by implementing a proactive and meticulous triage, cataloging, and curation process tailored to the needs of each corporate client.

How PRO-TEK Vaults’ Asset Management Service Works
1. Media Triage & Assessment
The first step in our process is a thorough review of all stored media, whether it arrives physical or digital formats. Our experts examine each item's condition, format, and content to ensure an accurate assessment before cataloging begins.
2. Cataloging in the System of Your Choice
Once the triage process is complete, our team meticulously logs each asset into the client’s preferred digital asset management (DAM) system, MAM (Media Asset Management) platform, or proprietary software. We provide structured metadata, keyword tagging, and descriptions that facilitate quick searches and retrieval.
3. Secure Physical and Digital Storage
After cataloging, media assets are stored securely in PRO-TEK Vaults’ state-of-the-art facilities for optimal climate-controlled preservation. We offer secure cloud storage and LTO migration services for digital content to ensure long-term accessibility.
4. Curating and Organizing Assets for Future Use
Beyond cataloging, we help businesses curate their media assets, grouping them into structured collections based on historical significance, project relevance, or monetization potential. This strategic approach allows corporations to maximize the value of their archives for future use, whether for internal documentation, marketing, licensing, or distribution.
