2012 DAM and MAM Market Overview - WAVE, Avid, and North Plains making the biggest changes

Added By Theresa Regli on 24-Jan-2012

Today we publish our 2012 Digital & Media Asset Management Market Overview. Things are markedly more exciting in the DAM & MAM world as we start 2012, versus the relatively calmer 2011. Product development has picked up, in particular among mid-size and large DAM vendors, as they attempt to beef up their feature offerings to cover more of the digital & media management spectrum ...

Can MediaBeacon keep up?

Added By Theresa Regli on 23-Jan-2012

MediaBeacon is one of the bright and blinking stars of the Digital Asset Management world. Led by the ebullient and opinionated Jason Bright, the Minneapolis-based company has a much larger footprint on the market than the small size of the company would suggest. MediaBeacon's DAM tool is among the industry's more flexible and standards-based, and though largely focused on brand management scenarios, the company made extensive efforts to add video management features over the last 18 months ...

Six Sigma for WCM

Added By Theresa Regli on 14-Dec-2011

Epic floods, covered bridges, and the importance of archiving

Added By Theresa Regli on 31-Aug-2011

As Irene crawled up the coast, we Vermonters were ready for high winds and power outages, but never expected our rivers to crest beyond historic levels. Just about every story of data, information, or historic loss starts with the phrase “we never expected.” I never expected to experience an earthquake when I was in Virginia last week, either ...

Should you stick with OpenText for DAM?

Added By Theresa Regli on 10-Aug-2011

The most common question I get from our Digital & Media Asset Management research subscribers these days is, "Should I stick with OpenText?" In fact, three of our subscribers asked me this in the past week. Mega-ECM vendor OpenText are the current owners of "Media Manager" -- the product formerly known as Artesia, now dressed up in new, Flash-fronted clothes ... Continue Reading

On Trial for Software Kick-Backs

Added By Theresa Regli on 16-May-2011

In Boston, USA for most of the month of May, I've been following with interest a local story about former Massachusetts Speaker of the House Sal DiMasi. A federal grand jury recently indicted the former Speaker and three of his associates on charges of conspiracy, wire fraud, and mail fraud, after DiMasi allegedly wielded his power to procure multimillion-dollar contracts for a software company, Cognos ...

There's many conferences focused on digital asset and media management during the spring, and we at Real Story Group have been in the thick of updating and expanding our DAM evaluation research ...

MAM makes the difference between an immersive and merely acceptable experience

Added By Theresa Regli on 29-Mar-2011

A few weeks ago, I stood transfixed by the Code of Hammurabi at the Louvre in Paris. I took in the rather sparse exhibit around the stele for at least 20 minutes, reading the French translation (no English one was provided), and closely examining the cuneiform carved into the stele. It was quiet; a few people asked me to take their picture with the object. ... Continue Reading

When will DAM Lite suffice?

Added By Theresa Regli on 10-Feb-2011

Today we've published an advisory paper called "When will DAM 'Lite' suffice?" This analysis emerged out of discussions with subscription customers about the digital asset management services now available within web content management technology platforms. Our customers sometimes ask us if they can use their WCM or document management system for their growing DAM needs.  And then there's the constant question, "Can I use SharePoint as my DAM?" ...

I'm excited to wrap up the year by writing a "State of the Market" on DAM.

The complications of vendor pricing

Added By Theresa Regli on 23-Nov-2010

At any given time, I'm in the process of helping three or four Real Story Group research subscribers through a procurement process. Oftentimes, the most complicated part of the process isn't creating an RFP, determining the short list, putting together the evaluation team or use case scenarios. It's normalizing the pricing ...

DAM in Hollywood

Added By Theresa Regli on 19-Oct-2010

I've never been a Hollywood kind of gal. I'd rather read a book than watch a movie, hardly own any makeup, shrug at the sight of of anyone famous (well, except perhaps when I almost walked into Paul McCartney in London a few years ago), and would rather wear a classic black suit than waste time and money on the latest fashion. So, it's not without a bit of hesitation and extra consideration of my wardrobe that I'll pack my bag for my first Hollywood stage appearance, at next month's Henry Stewart Conference on Digital Asset Management ...

If there is anything I follow just as closely if not more closely than the world of content management, it is the world of food.

Added By Theresa Regli on 9-Dec-2009

I was first given a preview of Open Text's new Flash-based DAM user interface over a year ago, in the fall of 2008.

Fourteen months later, customers of the product formerly known as Artesia are still waiting for v7.0 ... Continue Reading

The Death of Taxonomies, revisited

Earlier this year I caused quite a stir when I predicted the death of taxonomies. Taxonomists worldwide told me I was an idiot, nuts, completely delusional.
