This past year has seen some true innovation in the delivery of customized media solutions. The pandemic-accelerated move to the cloud has obviously influenced this, but the need for powerful workflows to remedy media management issues has always existed. eMAM is a truly comprehensive media management solution, which we have been providing to leading organization worldwide for 16 years. The deployment of our system was designed to be easy, but is even easier with AWS’s Cloud Formation Templates. With AWS Cloud Formation Template, eMAM can be deployed in minutes.   

This year Amazon Web Services (AWS) changed the game again with their AWS Media Intelligence and AWS for Media & Entertainment initiatives, specifically launched to bring powerful solutions for all types of media workflows. Have a massive library of content? Add the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to your media content workflow to better organize and use it in your projects. Unable to manage and archive that growing pile of media? Integrated media supply and archive applications to better manage your content. They provide great potential to meet the challenges of every modern organization.
