People from an organization asked me if I knew what software they could use to manage their pictures, besides Flickr or equivalents. Somewhere they could keep all their pictures, tag them, enter text descriptions, dates, and then search and recover.
I had no idea.
Then I started to realize that this must be a generalized issue. Do you know what software they use, for instance, in newspapers?
Thanks for any tip or comment!

Re: Software for managing images within an organization
I think it would depend on whether they are talking about in-house, or out-sourced storage. Whether it is a closed system open only to members of their organization, or something that can be searched by the public.

Hmm. Sounds like Adobe Lightroom might be a candidate for them.

Thanks for the ideas, PF. I'll tell them to look into the reviews of this type of software. Glad to know that it is a common tool.

A photographer friend of mine really likes ACDSee: https://www.acdsee.com/en/index.
Re: Software for managing images within an organization
The last place I worked had a third-party solution. It was database driven, and no matter the number of photos, it always seemed reasonably responsive. It wasn't off-the-shelf software.
Keep in mind that there were roughly eight to 10 staff photographers adding about 100-200 photos each per day. Shots that weren't used were still added to the collection, because you never knew when you would need a photo of a neighborhood, bridge, local politicians, etc.
In the mid-1990s, the person who oversaw photos said that they were cataloging about 3,000 photos a month. I'm sure that number increased about tenfold once digital photography became the norm.
