Dalet update - Galaxy, still far away but less nebulous now

Added By Kashyap Kompella on 4-May-2012

At NAB, Dalet announced its release plan for Galaxy, which will be the updated version of its core MAM platform, and outlined the features to expect when the package eventually ships. Before you get excited, though, note the timeline: ... Continue Reading

Avid update - status quo vadis

Added By Kashyap Kompella on 1-May-2012

Previously, MAM was positioned as “super software” that can completely transform the processes, systems and operations of a media company. Now, Avid is more circumspect. ... Continue Reading

MAMma mia, it's a cornucopia - Part 1

Added By Kashyap Kompella on 27-Apr-2012

Media Asset Management is a market that's coming out of hibernation and getting ready for prime time as media companies and broadcasters prepare themselves for a multi-platform world ... Continue Reading

Do Integrated Ads change everything for DAM?

Added By Kashyap Kompella on 26-Apr-2012

As they say in the ad world, "Great ideas need landing gear as well as wings." I'm afraid it will be a rough landing for integrated campaigns with many of the DAM products in the market. Currently, many of them ... Continue Reading

Cloud, High Finance, and Hollywood

Added By Kashyap Kompella on 25-Apr-2012

As you have already heard a gazillion times, converting capital expenditure into operating expense is a key value proposition of cloud computing. Yes, but customers need to understand that cloud vendors have different payment models which can eat into any such potential benefits ... Continue Reading

A portrait of the artist as a metadata manager

Added By Kashyap Kompella on 24-Apr-2012

Art helps us to understand the world we live in. We can in fact think of art as metadata about the world (and artists as metadata experts of the human condition). Art is also ahead in showing us the path to the future, and digital art may provide some clues to the future in the content management world ... Continue Reading

APIs Are Not Lego

Added By Matt Mullen on 23-Apr-2012

As a child I loved Lego. And when I say "as a child", I really mean "I still love Lego, but don't want to admit it". Recently a large new shopping complex opened not far from where I live, bringing with it a new Lego shop. In the centre of the shop are large perspex bins containing all the requisite parts to construct your own, bespoke "minifig" (or as non Lego fans might prefer "Lego people"). There's an hour of my life that I'm not going to get back ... Continue Reading

Start Your Content Migration Planning Early

Added By Apoorv Durga on 23-Apr-2012

Many IT projects require some sort of content migration, but we often find that many customers give scant attention to migration planning. It's almost always considered an activity that can wait until the end ... Continue Reading

Free Webinar - How Cloud, Mobile, and Social Will Change the World of Information Management

Added By Jarrod Gingras on 20-Apr-2012

Cloud, Mobile, and Social are three of the most common buzzwords in today's IT lexicon. The words are here to stay, but will the underlying concepts really bring about fundamental changes to the way we manage information? Or, are they more hype than substance? ... Continue Reading

Clouds finally gathering on the Broadcast horizon?

Added By Kashyap Kompella on 15-Apr-2012

Surprisingly for a field that is rich in technical and engineering talent, the media and broadcast sectors are definitely not early adopters of new IT technologies (if they adopt at all!) and models. But now as broadcasters look to boost their bottom line, they are increasingly exploring whether and how they can leverage cloud technologies and models, as media systems consultant Al Kovalick points out here. ...

North Plains Buys Xinet to Fill Several DAM Gaps

Added By Irina Guseva on 13-Apr-2012

The North Plains/Xinet acquisition news this week weren't particularly shocking. DAM vendor North Plains has been steadily growing in the recent years, and there were (and still are) several holes in the product -- not to mention the company -- that needed to be filled. ... Continue Reading

Everyday High Resolution - Walmart as a Media Content Management Vendor

Added By Kashyap Kompella on 13-Apr-2012

Your friendly neighborhood Walmart may perhaps be the best kept secret in the world of cloud and content management. Walmart is already the largest distributor of videos in the offline world, and now with the upcoming roll out of the disk to digital (D2D) initiative, it is turning into a content management vendor for videos in the cloud ...

Adobe circa 2012 - The digital marketing perspective

Added By Irina Guseva on 2-Apr-2012

Like a complex Photoshop file, Adobe is a multi-layered company. This fact was highlighted ever so vividly at the recent Adobe Digital Marketing summit held in the Omniture-land in Utah. Adobe is known for its many recent acquisitions (Omniture, Day Software, Context Optional/Efficient Frontier, Nitobi, Auditude, Demdex, etc.), as well as organic growth.

Think of these acquisitions as Photoshop layers and filters that go into the composition of a very complex picture of the product known as the Adobe Digital Marketing Suite, which incorporates approximately 17 SaaS-based distinct products ... Continue Reading

Portal, CMS, DM, WCM, DAM or something else?

Added By Apoorv Durga on 5-Mar-2012

Customers often face considerable overlaps in features among different types of content technologies. For example, an enterprise portal system can be used to build websites, but a web content management system can sometimes deliver portal-like services. This can all get very confusing!

I am conducting a free webinar this Wednesday that will help you make sense of different content technologies ... Continue Reading

UK Government Cloudstore - not yet ready for prime time

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 23-Feb-2012

The IT press here in the UK have heralded the remarkable launch of the government's G-Cloud Cloudstore. The timing was certainly impressive: In just four short weeks this online services directory and procurement application went from contract to launch.

Yet I remain a bit puzzled as to why the service has gone live at all, since ... Continue Reading
