Our organization - a museum library - needed a new DAM that would help us store, find, and retrieve assets for our user community in ways that our old DAM system could never do. We researched and interviewed a wide variety of DAM candidates and found that OrangeDAM was the only one that could help us effectively manage our media assets: moving images and sound. Their caption management tool allows us to easily caption and make searchable film/video and audio files and provide our user community with a new level of access that wasn't available to them (or us) before. This is a game changer in making our media collections findable/searchable for our users. We also have the ability to link assets so that video or audio files are presented with their accompanying scripts, press materials, etc to provide users with a more holistic view of our media collections. They also worked with us to integrate into OrangeDAM a new tool (similar to OCR) to help better transcribe handwritten manuscripts, of which we have many thousand in our special collections area. There are a lot of tools that exist to help make a better user experience and we're still exploring them after a year of working with the product. And they just released OrangeMAM, which we are also looking at to further assist us in managing our video workflow. We're excited to see that as well.

This is a clean-looking DAM that is very intuitive for our general users and has a lot of features we were looking for (watermarking, granular permissions, zoom, ability to handle photography, video, and audio files). Everyday use is very straightforward in terms of uploading, cataloguing, and finding assets.

The people that worked for Orange Logic when I was helping to build out the DAM system were great. The implementation team was very responsive and the checkins were productive. The tool is also user friendly and very customizable. Loved it.
