CI HUB

Access Your Digital Assets Directly in Adobe, Microsoft 365, Figma, Asana, and More

Today's creative and marketing teams need efficiency. Users want to create assets faster and with more convenience than ever. With that, technical innovators are offering new solutions to help people accomplish more in less time.

The CI HUB is a digital asset management plugin that helps users access their asset libraries across creative, productivity, and project management applications. And with the integration with NetX DAM, there's no more jumping between tools to source images or make edits to documents and videos to get the job done.

Here's what the NetX DAM and CI HUB integration means for your asset sourcing, creating, and saving needs.

The NetX DAM and CI HUB integration lets you search, place, edit, and version approved assets directly inside leading creative and productivity apps—including Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Figma, Sketch, WordPress, SharePoint, Asana, and Trello—without switching tools. NetX remains the system of record, enforcing permissions, correct renditions/sizes, and save-back/version control across design, video, documents, web publishing, and project management. The outcome is faster, more consistent creation, improved collaboration, and streamlined governance.
