Digital Asset Management (DAM) applications allow companies to organize their electronic data assets. Some DAM applications handle historical documents, but an increasing number are designed to be part of an organization's workflow. Cumulus DAM 6.6 from Canto Software, Incorporated, is a scalable, cross-platform Internet product that is easy to install but very powerful. It handles all types of digital media and is especially good for companies in the publishing, communication, and marketing industries. Carey DAM/IT, a division of CareyDigital, customizes Canto Cumulus-based systems for photo labs, prepress firms, ad agencies, and display houses. CareyDigital configures DAM systems based on the existing workflow needs of a company. Asset collections maintained and created by Carey include Web-based access via the Internet. Extensis Portfolio 8.0 is highly scalable and is particularly well-suited for organizing, finding, and distributing brand assets. It represents a good choice for firms with no prior experience handling digital assets. A more wide-ranging approach is taken by ClearStory Systems, Incorporated. Its Active Media 7.0 is designed for mid-size to enterprise-level firms. It is completely Web-based and takes advantage of client-side browsers. It is perfect for companies that want to convert, store, and archive large quantities of historical documents and images.
