What others say about The Digital & Media Asset Management Report 2008

"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 is a straightforward, comprehensive document that's invaluable to anyone considering or implementing digital asset management. With a no-nonsense approach to evaluating the major vendors and best practices, this report is a true handbook. It's my new bedside reading..."

The Digital & Media Asset Management Report 2008 looks at... The MAM pairing of IBM's FileNet & Ancept Media Server

"FileNet was (and is) rightly renowned for its document-imaging, distribution, and process automation prowess. It has a well-proven ability to scale and its object-oriented content model is essentially agnostic as to content type, making it an appealing platform for DAM. Somehow, FileNet Corporation never saw fit to try to exploit the DAM market. IBM has other plans, it seems."
