VANCOUVER, BC, July 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MediaValet Inc.
(TSX-V: MVP) ("MediaValet" or the "Company"), a leading provider of
cloud-native, enterprise, digital asset management and creative
operations software, is excited to announce that the Jane Goodall
Institute ("JGI") has selected MediaValet to securely archive and
manage over sixty years of historic and present-day scientific
research and conservation digital assets. The 5-year, 100 TB
agreement, provides JGI with the Company's core enterprise DAM
platform, Advanced Custom AI, Audio/Visual Intelligence (AVI), and
professional services covering implementation, library services,
training and support.
Dr. Jane Goodall, founder of the
Jane Goodall Institute, & UN Messenger of Peace, considered the
world's foremost expert on chimpanzees, and now global conservation
icon, has spent the past sixty years advancing understanding of
wild chimpanzees as well as helping protect their habitats through
community-driven conservation and youth empowerment. Over the
decades, Dr. Goodall and her team have amassed thousands of hours
of handheld, drone and camera trap video footage, tens of thousands
of photos, maps and satellite imagery, and an untold number of
handwritten notes, diagrams and sketches. A primary initiative for
JGI's digital asset management work in 2021 is to digitize priority
material, upload to MediaValet, and apply Advanced Custom AI and
AVI to help scientists and storytellers alike sort, process and
learn from the extensive collection of research and conservation
assets. Once uploaded, MediaValet's industry leading security and
redundancy measures will ensure the JGI's archive is protected from
misuse and safe from loss at all times.
Together, MediaValet and the Jane Goodall Institute are
exploring how artificial intelligence, digital asset management and
the Cloud can augment and revolutionize scientific research,
conservation and storytelling at a global scale. From transcribing
handwritten field notes, to identifying specific animal behaviors
across decades of video footage, the digitization and extensive
meta data enrichment of JGI's assets provides the ability to extend
the knowledge to a much wider group of researchers, conservation
professionals and storytellers simultaneously increasing the
opportunity for scientific advancements and conservation.
"From our decades of footage to an extensive archive of
handwritten research, the Jane Goodall Institute holds a wealth of
knowledge across a variety of media formats and locations," shared
Shawn Sweeney, Associate Vice
President of Communications & Policy at the Jane Goodall
Institute. "Taking the time to digitize this research and improve
its discoverability and utility was a critical step to advance the
vision and work of Dr. Goodall. We're excited to be working with
MediaValet and look forward to leveraging the latest in DAM, Cloud
and AI technologies to ensure our past and future research and
conservation efforts are not only preserved and discoverable in
ways we'd never imagined, but also readily accessible by
generations to come."
In addition to scientific research, the Jane Goodall Institute
will be using MediaValet to address several other challenges facing
the institute, including centralizing marketing and communications
content; preserving Dr. Jane
Goodall's personal legacy; and enabling effective
storytelling across all their distribution channels.
"I'm extremely honoured and proud to be entrusted with
preserving and extending Jane
Goodall's legacy," shared David
MacLaren, Founder & CEO of MediaValet. "Dr. Goodall's
name is well known in households around the world for her
groundbreaking work studying chimpanzees and their habitat. As key
advocates for the protection and conservation of the natural world,
it's critical to ensure Dr. Goodall's story, and her research, is
protected and accessible indefinitely."
