Nuxeo Introduces New Cloud Edition of Digital Asset Management Application

Nuxeo, the Open Source Enterprise Content Management (ECM) company, announced an update to its Nuxeo Digital Asset Management product with the release of Nuxeo DAM 1.1, as well launching the hosted version, Nuxeo DAM - Cloud Edition. This new release of Nuxeo DAM incorporates feature enhancements driven by early adopters and the Nuxeo developer community. Nuxeo DAM - Cloud Edition runs on the Nuxeo secure cloud services infrastructure, backed by Amazon web services. Nuxeo DAM - Cloud Edition offers a media management solution suited to small to medium-sized organizations with fixed budgets and limited IT infrastructure and resources. It is also ideal for businesses that need to collaborate with geographically dispersed customers, helping marketers and brand managers quickly catalog, process, store, retrieve and distribute rich media. Also launched today is Nuxeo DAM 1.1. The newest release of Nuxeo DAM includes feature enhancements driven by the feedback and requirements of early adopters: video enhancements, batch upload improvements and repository level integration with Nuxeo DM. Video enhancements include automatic generation of thumbnails that segment the content of a video file as part of the import process. These video chapters can be viewed individually, to locate scenes and find video segments to share among teams. The application gives instant viewing access to a video by beginning to play before the file is completely downloaded. New bulk import and editing functionality are additional time-savers for power-users. Nuxeo DAM can now import a larger number of files, with IPTC and EXIF metadata extraction and bulk tagging to speed up capture of digital assets. To ease large-scale media file processing, Nuxeo DAM also allows users to edit file descriptions, define metadata and adjust settings to a selection of multiple assets, putting more capabilities into the hands of content creators and consumers. For integration with other content applications, Nuxeo DAM and Nuxeo's Document Management applications can also share the same underlying content repository. Nuxeo's applications are built on the open source, Java-based Nuxeo Enterprise Platform, so that Nuxeo DAM can now be connected to a Nuxeo Document Management application or other Nuxeo EP-based application. Documents and files managed in a Nuxeo DM repository can be accessed from Nuxeo DAM without switching applications - or vice versa. http://www.nuxeo.com/
