Open Source DAM Solution For Managing Rich Media Assets Now Available

BOSTON, February 4, 2010--Nuxeo, the Open Source Enterprise Content Management (ECM) company, announced today the general availability of its open source Digital Asset Management offering Nuxeo DAM.

Nuxeo DAM is the latest application based on the Nuxeo open source ECM platform, Nuxeo EP. Nuxeo DAM addresses the complex and resource-intensive demands of managing the rich media assets that companies rely on. Designed to meet the creative and ever-changing needs of marketing and brand managers, as well as the custodians of digital artifacts in education, government, military and cultural institutions, Nuxeo's digital asset management software opens up new opportunities for the creators, users and consumers of rich media to take control of their critical image, video or audio content.

According to Nuxeo CEO Eric Barroca:

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.

Nuxeo DAM is the first application of its kind to meet the currently available draft of the OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) specification. Nuxeo, along with many other industry leaders such as Microsoft, IBM, and Adobe Systems, is involved with CMIS. CMIS is a proposed standard for interoperability across multiple ECM and web content management systems that is expected to be approved this year. Nuxeo EP, as the underlying ECM platform offering from Nuxeo, includes a CMIS Server, based on the latest CMIS specification, ensuring that packaged applications such as Nuxeo DAM and Nuxeo DM benefit from the interoperability enhancements.

BOSTON, January 18, 2010 -- Nuxeo, the Open Source Enterprise Content Management (ECM) company, announced today that Galaxy partner metaLogic Consulting Inc. will showcase for the first time a Lotus Notes integration and migration software to the Nuxeo open source ECM platform. The metaLogic product will be available this spring. metaLogic brings deep content management expertise to its customer base and has more than 12 years experience as an IBM partner.

"Many companies are currently using Lotus Domino Document Manager, which has reached end of life. These companies have exciting opportunities to move to modern, interoperable ECM platforms," said Bruce Grant, president of metaLogic. "We've been building out solutions to address this transition problem for the past year. We believe that Nuxeo's offering is a great migration path for companies who want to migrate their information to a flexible, open, stable enterprise document management system."
