DAM Lowdown: Updates from WebDAM, FocusOpen & Razuna, Expert Insights

Following the vacation season, DAM news is beginning to bloom again: updates for WebDAM, FocusOpen and Razuna, MediaBeacon and Aspera join forces, experts look at digital asset management trends.

WebDAM, FocusOPEN, Razuna

WebDAM Solutions has launched new features for its digital asset management solution. Designed to increase efficiency and streamline productivity, the new features include the ability to present and control PowerPoint presentations inside WebDAM, and to have WebDAM handle format conversion for downloads. The new capabilities come on top of collaboration functions added in July.

Open-source DAM vendor FocusOPEN has updated version 3.4.3.1 of their system. New features include preview rollers, API extensions and security improvements, plus a variety of bug fixes.

MediaBeacon, Aspera Get Together

DAM solutions provider MediaBeacon and high-speed data transport vendor Aspera have announced a global partnership and technology integration. “MediaBeacon’s robust search tools let users find what they’re looking for,” Aspera’s vice president of marketing Richard Heitmann said in a statement, “and Aspera delivers the digital assets at line-speed.”
