“The pandemic accelerated the digital shift in real time, but the signals have become increasingly obvious every year. Media outlets, educational institutions, retail companies, and healthcare are executing a digital-first strategy”

The company is also announcing a record 62 percent year-over-year growth in annual recurring revenue, and a net customer retention rate of 110 percent, with continued momentum in enterprise accounts.

The new features include:

• Content Discovery, Recommendations, Relationships: Using AI-powered search tools, smart filters, and facial recognition, teams can now instantly find the right assets using the “Related Files” function, which connects multiple files together.
• Video: From virtual reality product shots to 360 destination tours, Canto now enables interactive content to be uploaded, previewed, annotated, and shared directly from the web browser. Users can also create different video clips from the same full-length video while keeping each clip related to the source.
• iOS Release: As remote work remains the standard, more and more content production is happening on mobile devices. Users can now access their full Canto library from anywhere via the Canto iOS app.
• Performance & Speed Enhancements: Canto plans to continue efficiency upgrades in 2022 by offering local hosting in new geographies and even further optimizations for upload/download speeds.
