Feature
As a completely hosted web-based DAM company, WebDAM offers its flagship product as hosted digital media management with full support -- including storage, managing archiving, searching and retrieving functions to enterprises, as well as full collaboration capabilities.
Only two years old, the company said that the name change reflects its decision to concentrate on building the WebDAM brand, as well as a move from digital photo management into fully fledged digital asset management to the exclusion of everything else.
None of their existing customers, which include Stanford University, Inter-American Development Bank, or the Sodexo Corporation, will be affected by the move. New customers will all come in under the new brand and domain name.
They also say that the rebranding will be accompanied by a complete reorganization of resources that will enable development teams to create new products at a faster rate than previously.
