Monday, January 30th, 2012Top 10 Web APIs — Bridging Today’s Technology
Wednesday, January 11th, 2012
With the explosion of application programming interfaces (APIs), the web has become an intermingling of technology, as if all your favorite applications got together at a speed-dating event. Using web APIs, programmers can now mingle the capabilities of multiple applications together. By doing such, they eliminate the need of clicking through different applications—all serving different purposes. So, what is the best API deliverable? Instead of standing on opposite ends of a virtual wall, a window (with nice trimmings!) has been installed to grant data access, allowing different applications to socialize and make friends with each other.
With so many fish in the sea and increased availability of internet-based services, we all ask ourselves “What are the Top Web APIs out there?” After speaking to internal and external web service experts, we have published the answer. (more…)

Security in the Cloud
Tuesday, April 19th, 2011
When we talk about security in the cloud, what do we really mean? Are we referring to a friendly security officer keeping watch over the data? Or are we referring to protection against hackers on the web? Or is it security at the application-level, such as user accounts with unique passwords?
The answer to all three of these is a resounding “Yes!” Security can take on many forms and be implemented at different levels. All of these are important and absolutely necessary in order to protect your data. Let’s break down the various types of security in the cloud:

Top 5 ways digital asset management in the cloud protects your ASSets
Thursday, April 14th, 2011
If your digital assets are not secured in the cloud, they’re susceptible to threats both online and in the real world. It’s essential to be proactive about security; after all, you earthquake-proof your home and stock water and emergency supplies in case of a disaster, right? Digital assets should be considered in a similar manner. Here are our top five ways DAM in the cloud protects your assets.
1. Mankind vs. Mother Nature
Earthquakes. Tornados. Tsunamis. Those natural disasters and many others fill up too many of our headlines these days, yet they’re a reality we all have to live. Natural disasters have no sympathy for your digital files, and if they’re stored in a single place locally, just a few seconds could wipe out years of valuable information. With a cloud infrastructure like WebDAM, data is housed on redundant servers geographically spaced apart. This protects your data against natural disasters, as damage at one data center won’t affect one across the country.

Scalability in the Cloud
Monday, February 7th, 2011
It’s probably not surprising that I wind up in many discussions with marketing professionals looking to implement digital asset management systems. However, I’m always surprised when I get asked, “Is it scalable?” This is one of the most common questions I get, and — coming from a technical background — my instinct is to think they’re referring to system architecture. Further discussion usually reveals the question to really be about system capabilities. Or, in layman’s terms, can a system like WebDAM be quickly scaled, going from five user seats today to 1,000 tomorrow, for example. (more…)
