The FADEL integration seems like a reasonable addition.
While I could criticise them for their earlier transgressions, they have at least listened to users, dealt with the issues and been up-front about them. Culling features is one of these dilemmas that all legacy vendors must face when they upgrade platforms and (based on Toby’s description) they were either over-aggressive about this in earlier releases or faced technical challenges that could not get solved before previous iterations had to ship. Portfolio is one of the oldest DAM product brands that is still actively developed and marketed. The first item, the new desktop client seems a lot like Extensis backing out of some blind-alleys they followed in the past. The run-down of enhancements is as follows: The video included with the press release is quite useful to see more (albeit I preferred to watch with the musical audio accompaniment switched off). As is often the case, the blog post about the new release is more useful than the PR for drilling down into what you will get as a use. There is certainly room for improvement (I would have advised against using descriptions like ‘game changing’, for example) but points should be awarded for relevance and offering some practical reasons to use the latest edition that users can relate to. These features will open new possibilities for the traditional DAM market, and extend the value of DAM into new workgroups and industries such as Geospatial, Infrastructure, Departments of Transportation, Tourism, Agriculture, and Engineering, to name a few.” Īs DAM PR soundbites go, this isn’t that bad. With Portfolio 2017, we’re propelling this to the next level by introducing high-quality file compression, powerful zoom and mapping capabilities. From making it usable for organizations of all sizes, to early investments in game changing technologies such as artificial intelligence, our goal is to elevate the value and impact of digital assets.
“ Extensis’ ongoing mission is to advance the practice of DAM. This is the press quote from Toby Martin, whose job title is ‘Vice President of Development and Strategy’ (which sounds like he has to deal with all the jobs at Extensis that no one else there wants to):
DAM vendor, Extensis announced an update to their Portfolio DAM solution earlier this week.
