In this latest release, the company introduced an intuitive analytics and reporting dashboard, a sleek new administrative interface with drag and drop functionality, an embedded Web CMS for delivering custom web pages and serving unique content and a redesigned multimedia module which includes enhanced transcoding capability and a dynamic context-aware Flash/HTML5 Smart Player for viewing videos on any device.

In this release, WebDAM continues differentiation and momentum as the industry leader in the consumerization of powerful enterprise-level technology. The new features and redesigned Admin UI provide a radically simple, yet flexible way for organizations to improve brand management, collaboration, and accelerate workflows amongst creative and marketing professionals across the globe.

• REDESIGNED ADMIN INTERFACE – Built on an HTML5 and jQuery framework, the sleek new interface, complete with drag and drop functionality throughout, allows users quick access to find and manage content in seconds.    
• ANALYTICS & REPORTING DASHBOARD – Admins now have direct access to an intuitive, customizable, and visually-pleasing real-time analytics dashboard paired with enhanced reporting functionality, providing complete visibility into system usage trends such as digital asset uploads, downloads, requests, storage and more.
