Cumulus Overview

Cumulus Overview

Cumulus simplifies the creation, management and deployment of Digital Asset Management Solutions for users, administrators and system integrators.

Cumulus Editions and Features

Download details: Cumulus Overview (pdf). The Cumulus product family consists of a suite of applications that, together, serve the asset management needs of all levels of creative development and output on all popular platforms.

Here's how it works: Cumulus organises your assets into catalogs. You can have as many catalogs as you want, and you can customise the look of those catalogs to suit your needs. Each catalog includes one record for each asset that you have. This record keeps track of the metadata associated with the asset. Cumulus has an enormous collection of metadata fields ready for use, plus menus, scrolling lists, buttons, windows, drag-and-drop, and support for cross-platform operating system technologies. ColorSync and QuickTime are integral to Cumulus. 

In a nutshell, this means that Cumulus works with your operating system's core multimedia technologies to ensure that essential features like color management don't fall by the wayside. Each progressive level of Cumulus introduces additional features and options, but all flavors use the same advanced asset management technology that is the lifeblood of Cumulus.

All products include 12 months Software Maintenance.
