Organize all your digital collections from a single user interface.
As your document collection grows, it becomes more and more difficult to find what you are looking for – doubly so for photo and video media, for which full-text searching is impossible. As big as this headache can be for individuals, however, it is far worse for organizations. For businesses of any size, as well as open source project teams, Digital Asset Management (DAM) problems can get out of control if the right tools aren't available.
