We also provide customers and partners with expert training and top-quality professional services in all these areas. With more than 150 successfully implemented PIM/DAM projects and more than 600 e-CAT customers BERTSCH INNOVATION a leading medium-sized software companies in the European PIM/DAM/e-CAT/mobile sector.

Introduction to mediacockpit

mediacockpit is our JEE-based software product with standard modules for product information management (PIM) and digital asset management (DAM). mediacockpit is also an extremely flexible platform for developing custom solutions leveraging our flexible and extendable data model and system services in new and innovative ways. Nearly all aspects of the system are configurable to fit customer requirements and all data and services can be accessed via our standard HMI and documented, external APIs (REST, CMIS, Java, …).

Proposal : Online Image Editor

mediacockpit integrates with Adobe Creative Cloud via plugins for PhotoShop and other CC apps. For certain use cases, customers prefer to perform image edits directly in the web browser, then save the results as a download or as a variant or new version in mediacockpit. A common use case is to add fly outs or position numbers in an image. In the scope of this project, a new, browser-based, image editor will be integrated into our DAM module, mediasuite.

Objectives and goals

Once selected, it will be integrated into the existing DAM module in mediacockpit, the mediasuite. This could, for example, be done as a new entry in the “…” menu for a media asset:

The editor appears in a modal window allowing the user to edit the source file. Depending on the format of the original file (e.g. JPG, TIF, PNG, AI, PSD, SVG), it may be possible to edit the original asset directly or may be necessary to edit a rasterized rendition of this file.

After editing the asset resource, it should be possible to download the result, or also to update the existing source file, add as a derivate, create a new version or a new variant linked to the source asset, features provided by the existing REST API in mediacockpit.

As a stretch goal, the manipulations performed could be stored as a “processing profile” on the server and the processing replicated and result file updated if the source file changes (e.g. a new version is created). Depending on the technology selected for the editor, this may be possible using a javascript server (e.g. node.js) or Chromium embedding (to be evaluated in the project).

Backgrounds and prior work and guidance

Mediacockpit provides server-side image manipulation and application plugins for image editors already. The implementation of these tools can be referenced during implementation and integration steps. In addition, Bertsch Innovation will provide senior-level guidance in the areas of software engineering and graphic design to help successfully complete the project.

Timetable and milestones

We propose starting on 01. February 2019 and are planning to complete the project by 30 June 2019 (a period of five months). A more detailed timeline can be set forth after acceptance.

Location

We are offering this project proposal through our office in Tunis, located in a representative villa near Stade El Menzah and the 10 Décembre Metro station. The candidate will work closely with the engineering team in Tunis the UI/UX and Chroma core developers in Germany.

Remuneration

The remuneration for the period shall be 300 TDN / month. An extension of this agreement, if necessary, to complete the project, is negotiable, but should be addressed no later than 15 May, 2019
