Software Analyst Team

Frost & Sullivan

Dominated by small start-ups, funding and resources are the main issue in the digital asset management (DAM) industry. Reduced technology spending and lengthening sales cycles mean more operational expenses and lower profits,

making it difficult for vendors to grow on self-generated revenues.

• Mergers, acquisition and consolidation across the DAM value chain help enhance market preparedness of vendors by bringing more resources into the market.

• Adoption of DAM technology in new industries creates further growth opportunities as new standards are adopted across vertical markets dominated by legacy systems.

• Increasing speed to market and greater Return on Investment through DAM solutions is expected to lure more customers to deploy DAM solutions.

• Evolution of the enterprise content management space helps integrate DAM solutions with Web Content Management (WCM) solutions providing users with greater value in managing their online presence.

• Sales hampered by difficulty in demonstrating positive return on investment (ROI) of DAM systems.

• Restructuring of market as industry matures slows growth as resources get diverted.
