Nuxeo releases DAM application with CMIS support

Nuxeo, the open source enterprise content management vendor, released a new digital asset management system last week with support for the most current OASIS CMIS specification. This should make it easier for companies using the Nuxeo solution to share multimedia content across different repositories whether or not they are using Nuxeo tools.

The latest Nuxeo DAM tool has been in Beta since December 2009. Eric Barocca, Nuxeo's CEO says his company's solution should help organizations looking to create applications that use a lot of media. "Nuxeo DAM has the same high level of flexibility as its underlying platform--Nuxeo EP--thanks to its extension-point, plug-in infrastructure. Thus, Nuxeo DAM can be adapted and customized to create a new kind of media-intensive content application matching ever-evolving business and creative needs."

Kathleen Reidy, an analyst with the 451 Group says companies need to be looking at digital asset management as they gather increasing amounts of multimedia content. "Digital asset management is an increasingly important component of ECM deployments due to the rise of audio and video content and the need to consistently manage brand assets," she said. "The availability of DAM in an open source model potentially makes it accessible to organizations of different sizes and types."

I agree. It's clear that as companies need to manage larger amounts of this type of content, they will be looking for lower-cost, flexible, open-source solutions like the one Nuxeo offers.
