3. What are the benefits of using Collaborate
Built for creatives, by creatives
Collaborate is a design agency serving the
publishing and corporate sectors. CDAM has been
designed and developed from a genuine desire to
create a system that met our needs.
Having built a library of over 100,000 assets over
many years, we have road tested many systems,
none of which had the flexibility and security which
we required for our assets.
We created a bespoke solution that allows us to
store, search and share image and document
libraries as well as single files, quickly and securely
with our clients.
No subscription or purchase required
Our solution is not a software programme out of the box
and it’s not a licensed online platform. So there are no
subscription fees or licensing fees to pay up front. In fact,
you can use the CDAM operating system completely free
of charge. It’s already been developed and paid for itself
- we are simply sharing the success with other creatives.
Costs that you will be obliged to pay relate to storage,
migration fees and any bespoke development you would
like to make to CDAM.
Tailored for your requirements
Every business has a different approach to catergorising
files and sharing data with clients. CDAM has the
flexibility to be tailored to your needs.
As well as being integrated with your website, CDAM can
also sync a workflow management tool directly with your
libraries, enabling stock control and live reporting
capabilities.

4. ATYPICAL CUMULUS USER
“We felt that we were tied into our
current system because we had
invested so much resource into
building it, so when Collaborate
offered us a much faster and
cheaper solution it was a no-brainer.
They handled the migration to the
new database and we were up and
running in just seven weeks. I can
honestly say they did not
compromise on our demands and it
gives us functionality we didn’t know
existed before. I can’t recommend
Collaborate DAM enough.”
