Get an outside perspective on your DAM
Based on our many years of experience, we have developed a list of functional descriptions to evaluate if a tested DAM system can be considered as such. We carefully verify that the described functions have been implemented as described.
During our stress test, we conduct in-depth interviews with product teams, sales teams, and partner managers. We deliver a report that includes a function-specific ranking, our assessment, and an assessment of market positioning.
Our evaluation process does not include web forms. We believe that human interaction is the only way to truly gain a comprehensive understanding of the DAM solution, so it’s all about human interaction.

- Technology stack and underlying architecture (cloud-native or lift and shift)
