-- Faith Robinson, Director of Digital Asset Management, Quality Technology Services

"I was thrilled at the level of detail and the depth of honesty in The Digital & Media Asset Management Report. Other reports tend to want to rate a company for gold stars or magic numbers but gloss over the real workings and customer experiences of the given vendor. In that sense, this report is more valuable, certainly more tangible, than what other analysts have put forth."
-- Faith Robinson, Director of Digital Asset Management, Quality Technology Services

The Digital & Media Asset Management Report looks at... WAVE's ability to scale

"Despite supporting larger implementations in recent years, some customers still express scalability concerns. One client who has used the system for three years states that while the system can scale to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of assets, you have to be careful about not putting too many in a single collection. This customer told us that when he puts more than 5,000 assets in a single collection, it "starts to wig out." (The company disagrees, saying that it has customers who store over 80,000 assets in one element-database, with no adverse effects.) You'll want to test accordingly."
