Happy New Year from OpenEdit! 2008 was the best year ever for OpenEdit and we thank all of our clients and users for that!
In 2008 we moved into our new office's in Cincinnati, Ohio and Valparaiso, Chile. We chose the northern end of Cincinnati because it was somewhat central to our homes, well, sort of since I continue to commute from Dayton... Chile has turned out to be a great fit for us, OpenEdit shows continued growth in South America and Valparaiso is near Christopher's boyhood hometown!
We had our first ever "OpenEdit User Group" meeting last spring. It was nice meeting our clients face to face. I'm still deciding in the current economic climate, is it best to have our next User Group meeting via Skype...? Suggestions?
The OpenEdit development team continued to make OpenEdit the best digital asset management solution available today, open source or otherwise! The focus of OpenEdit DAM this past year was to further develop and refine OpenEdit into an enterprise digital asset management solution for marketing departments and firms. It's been quite a success for our client's using OpenEdit DAM - millions of digital assets are being managed and tracked using OpenEdit DAM!
We worked with both old and new clients this year, from a proud dad who needed a digital asset management solution to manage his family's photos, to the world's largest directory assistance publisher needing a global DAM solution to effectively manage and produce advertisements over four continents. And onwards to a corporate marketing department who needed a solution to manage and track millions (!) of media assets.
The latter part of 2008 brought added interest to OpenEdit DAM from organizations who are interested in an open source software digital asset management solution, as a cost savings measure, where there are literally no upfront fee's to download, install and use a complete enterprise digital asset management solution.
We are looking forward to a great 2009!
