McMillan Shakespeare

The McMillan Shakespeare Group is a market‑leading financial services provider that offers salary packaging, novated leasing, asset management, and other related financial products and services. The brands within the larger group offer a wealth of services and expertise that aim to deliver long-term value to their customers.

The group experienced several challenges in managing its processes and digital assets, especially considering that it employs a team of over 1,300 people across Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Fortunately, it was able to leverage Simple’s Digital Asset Management platform to simplify this and make its digital asset management more streamlined, efficient, and effective.

One of the group’s major challenges was managing the digital assets and processes of several brands under its umbrella, especially considering that the group operates within a highly regulated environment. As such, the group struggled with the implementation of consistent processes and workflows across the entire enterprise and all teams.

Another significant challenge the group faced was ensuring that all its approved assets were shared safely and securely across the business and between brands. As such, it struggled to ensure that the right stakeholders had access to the right approved assets when they needed to and to prevent unauthorized access to the assets.

Simply put, compliance and governance were major challenges for the group.

Simple’s Digital Asset Management solution is a repository where companies like the McMillan Shakespeare group can centralize all their digital assets. As such, it serves as a ‘single source of truth’ for all assets like images, templates, videos, logos, and brand guidelines that ensures consistency, improved compliance, and greater governance.

In addition, the solution offers a sophisticated tagging system that makes it easier to find assets as well as a review and approval template process and feature-rich, intuitive editing tools. Ultimately, Simple’s Digital Asset Management solution has all the features any organization could need to make its asset management more efficient and effective and its teams more productive.

With Simple’s Digital Asset Management solution, McMillan Shakespeare was able to store and manage all its content in one location, which means it could streamline its workflow and processes around a single repository of digital assets. This, in turn, allowed the group to make its process more efficient and workflows more consistent.

In addition, the Digital Asset Management solution enabled the group asset-level control access and privileges, which ensured that only authorized stakeholders had access to its approved digital assets. In the process, the group prevented copyright violations and misuse of its assets which, in turn, mitigated the group’s risk and ensured brand consistency.
