Delaware County Community College Chooses PhotoShelter as Their DAM Solution

For 57 years, Delaware County Community College has provided affordable education to 16,000 students annually in Delaware and Chester Counties. The College offers associate degrees, certificates, dual enrollment, workforce training, and transfer pathways, supporting career growth and lifelong learning for a diverse student population.

With a story of impressive growth over the last few decades, DCCC’s marketing and communications team needed a way to keep up. Outdated processes and limited access to photos and files hindered their efficiency and productivity.

PhotoShelter was a familiar, well-respected name in the industry and the solution they needed to get ahead.

Elizabeth Wood, Executive Director of Marketing & Communications, told us, “Institutions of higher education have very specific needs. Community colleges, in particular, serve a wide base of students, offering programs from welding to graphic design to early childhood education. Our photo library needs to have a deep, accessible archive to visually convey all that we have to offer. [PhotoShelter] was the tool used at my previous 4-year institution and was recently adopted by a neighboring community college, so after conducting a bit of research and info gathering, I felt very comfortable moving forward with a PhotoShelter partnership.”

Efficiency and Access with PhotoShelter

Now, with PhotoShelter as their trusted digital asset management solution, Elizabeth and her team will have a centralized hub for organization and collaboration with robust metadata capabilities, so finding files is easy and efficient.

“We’re currently relying on Google Drive folders with little to no metadata and therefore no search capabilities.”

“We hear from marketing and creative teams all the time how basic tools like Google Drive or Dropbox aren’t enough to keep up with the content demand they’re seeing in 2025,” said PhotoShelter CEO Andrew Fingerman. “We’re thrilled to help Delaware County Community College level up the way they manage their media and support them as they continue to grow.”
