Report Excerpt

The Digital & Media Asset Management Report 2009 looks at... EMC Documentum Digital Asset Manager's pricing model

"Many of the capabilities contained in DTS, ADTS, and/or MTS are typically already present in competing DAM systems (they're a "given" in this class of product), so it's hard to avoid the impression here that you're buying a car with no handles on the doors and then being asked to purchase the handles separately. Nearly all software vendors praise à la carte pricing, but over-factoring of this kind is an EMC hallmark.""

DAM vendors coming up short

25-Jun-2008

As the Henry Stewart Digital Asset Management Symposium kicks off in London, we comment in today's press release on a few areas where DAM vendors are coming up short, based on our recent research for The Digital & Media Asset Management Report 2008.

In our interviews with customers, many lamented their investments in DAM systems failed to meet their needs for workflow and rights management. My fellow analyst Kas Thomas and I were often surprised to find that what many vendors call a workflow application is no more than a thread of e-mails. You can read more details in the release, and of course, our DAM Report.
