But now with even SMBs adopting cloud-based DAMs containing hundreds of thousands of assets numbering in the dozens of terabytes, deployment strategy has become more important than the rather arbitrary term "enterprise"

Today we release a major update to our Digital & Media Asset Management research, which now contains 37 in-depth reviews of major brand, image, and media management software products, as well as insights into the rights management, content delivery, and online video platform markets

Things used to be a lot simpler for broadcasters. Generally what they produced had a single destination: television. Today, multi-channel needs and the digitization of many decades of video archives is driving investment in Broadcast & Media Asset Management (MAM) technology

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:

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

Enterprises may be just now waking up to the promise and perils of video but media and broadcast companies have always been trying to manage video (and audio) content.

Today we release version 4.2 of our Digital & Media Asset Management Report, which includes 25+ new pages of detailed evaluations of four very different vendors in the DAM & MAM markets.
