“The use of Digital Asset Management solutions is widespread in the media industry where FotoWare has a stronghold, however, we are now seeing the demand for DAM solutions grow steadily regardless of industry”, says CEO Anne Gretland.

“We can draw parallels to the evolution of CRM. In its early stages, this was something only large enterprises saw a need for. However, today, virtually all companies crave an overview and control over their customers, contracts etc. We predict the same journey for FotoWare and Digital Asset Management as an industry, and we expect FotoWare to remain a driver of this growth and at the forefront of innovation,” she concludes.
