Applications Overview

In EnterMedia "applications," form the core of the installation and in addition to that you can add extensible applications. With EnterMedia 8 we finally have an out of the box solution that addresses most of our customers needs. After over 10 years of consulting in the Digital Asset Management arena we have developed a platform that addresses the variety of tasks required for an enterprise level server.

EnterMedia 8 ships with three applications that form the core of your installation. Library, Share, and Manager. Library is the behemoth. We have robust metadata tables that enable you to quickly find the media you are looking for. Share is like a light weight version of Library. It helps you set up a new website quickly so you can share your media easily. Manager lets you control the infrastructure of your installation, adding catalogs and creating new instances easily.

We have a complex set of issues, to which there are plenty of simple, easy, wrong answers. What EnterMedia 8 does is consolidate our past ten years of private consulting services where we have customized our installations to the clients specifications. Since then, we have addressed so many things, but there has been some overlap. We have taken those features that are the most commonly requested, and built a release around it, and we think you are going to enjoy using it.
