Guide To Packages
Unregistered
Unregistered users can only filter vendors by licensing model and hosting methods, but can still view a broad range of details about each vendor, including the technology choices made by the DAM vendor, search facilities, embedded metadata support, asset processing, asset manipulation, integration features, authentication and multi-lingual support.
Registered
Registered users have access to all filters, including vendor application architecture, scripting or SDK capabilities, plug-in support, advanced integration with SharePoint or other WCM tools and reporting or business intelligence features. Registered users can also view screenshots, download vendor whitepapers and view videos (if the vendor has provided them).
A custom shortlists facility can be used to group potential vendors and share lists with colleagues. The registered account allows vendors in a shortlist or search results to be contacted via email as a batch and to include RFP or RFI documentation as attachments. This feature alone can save hours of time manually finding contact information and emailing each vendor separately.
If any vendors you might be interested in have not yet completed a question on their profile, Registered account holders can request an automated prompt (anonymously or with their contact information). All vendor responses can also be downloaded in Word format by registered users so they can quickly get a generic overview of what each vendor offers without needing to wade through websites and promotional literature.
If you are in the process of selecting a Digital Asset Management solution and absolutely need to make the correct decision, the registered account is ideal. Registered accounts now include two reports on solution selection as well as an 850 page PDF with full vendor details included.
