Our users access IMS without instruction, as a self-service tool. It's a central resource, and the first place our users seek images and our Adobe InDesign artwork files. Using IMS saves a significant amount of time - if we didn't have it, I can guarantee the phone would be ringing.

... George Lah-Anyane, Senior Graphic Designer - Coventry University

After evaluating a number of image library systems we chose Third Light IMS. Its web based interface makes it easy for our staff to use and access across the organisation, and its rock solid stability and high performance storage means our media library is reliable, scalable and delivers images quickly to end users. Third Light IMS was a clear winner on performance, features, reliability and price.

... Mashuk Reza, Web Officer, Ofqual

We recognize the importance of safely storing and indexing huge volumes of data and placing a commercial interface in front of this valuable stock. Third Light's IMS system is an outstanding leap forward when it comes to packaging and delivering these features in a product.

... Phil Polishuk, Pictopia

Third Light were absolutely phenomenal. We couldn't have done it without them. Working with people like that not only makes business very simple, but it creates a real wave of optimism, as well as producing great results.

... Martin Lee - Chief Executive, Mediablitz Images

Selling prints was an obvious way of raising a bit of extra money for our Crew Training Appeal. With PhotoBox integration we can not only sell prints, but also t-shirts, mugs and greeting cards - instantly available when we upload our pictures and without us having to charge, post or print anything ourselves. As a non-profit organisation, all the profits from these sales go to helping the Portrush crew save lives at sea.

... Conchur Dickinson, Portrush RNLI
