Consumers increasingly expect their media content to be available when they want it, where they want it and how they want it. These factors are driving the producers of media content to make fundamental changes older, analog-based tools and practices must be replaced by modern digital technologies and processes. Media companies who embrace these changes and master them will thrive; those who do not will become increasingly uncompetitive.

This imperative move to digital content is causing enlightened media companies to realize they need a better strategy for managing their core intellectual property assets that not only protects assets, but streamlines the process by which assets get produced and distributed. Open Text s Artesia DAM solution provides a foundation-level solution that safeguards content, while simultaneously enabling standards-based interoperability across the evolving digital ecosystem for media content. Feature highlights include service-oriented J2EE architecture, robust natural-language search, extensible metadata frameworks and collaboration and transformation services tuned for rich media.

Evolving consumption patterns require today s leading media companies to have a content management infrastructure geared to facilitate rapid response. The Artesia Digital Asset Management solution provides just such a platform, said Scott Bowen, President of Open Text s Artesia Digital Media Group. , We are excited to be at NAB again this year with our top clients and partners discussing and demonstrating our solutions.

For the past several years, the Artesia Digital Media Group has sponsored the Digital Asset Management Theater, which was established to bring a comprehensive agenda of best practices to the NAB audience.
