fylr and easydb

Berlin-based Programmfabrik has been developing the DAM system easydb since 2003, followed by its successor, fylr. A key feature is its freely configurable data model, which also makes the system suitable for collections, archives and research.

Features

• Freely configurable data model via the user interface
• Full-text and advanced search
• Granular access control
• Hot folder imports
• Presentations with PowerPoint export
• Single sign-on (LDAP, Active Directory, Shibboleth, Kerberos)
• REST API and plug-ins

Deployment and security

easydb runs on-premises on Linux (delivered via Docker). According to a case study, fylr is also deployed in the cloud; the vendor does not specify the hosting location.

Integration with PIM and other systems

Programmfabrik does not offer a PIM system, and no PIM integrations are listed. Integrations include WordPress, Drupal, TYPO3 and directory services; CI HUB provides connectors for creative and office applications.

Who fylr and easydb are suited to

fylr and easydb are used in higher education and research, museums, archives, marketing and press departments, as well as businesses and public institutions.
