Benefits of cloud solution vs on-premise
Accessibility and collaboration in the cloud
With teams scattered across different locations and remote work becoming the standard, Canto ensures that digital assets are within reach regardless of geographical boundaries.
This accessibility fosters seamless collaboration among teams and facilitating a more dynamic and efficient workflow. Canto empowers users to work collaboratively on projects, providing real-time access to the latest assets and encouraging a culture of flexibility and responsiveness.
Scalability
The scalability of Canto presents a compelling case for businesses seeking to adapt to fluctuating storage and user requirements. Unlike on-premise systems that often require substantial upfront investments for additional hardware, cloud-based DAM allows organisations to scale their resources up or down based on current needs.
This not only enhances cost-efficiency but also provides the flexibility to accommodate growth without the constraints of physical infrastructure. As businesses evolve, their DAM system can seamlessly evolve with them, ensuring optimal performance and resource utilisation.
Cost efficiency
Canto solutions offer a more cost-effective alternative to on-premise implementations. The traditional on-premise model demands substantial initial investments in hardware, software licenses, and infrastructure. In contrast, cloud-based models operate on a pay-as-you-go basis, eliminating the need for large upfront expenditures.
The shift to operational expenses allows organisations to budget more predictably, optimising their financial planning and allocating resources more efficiently. The cost efficiency of Canto extends beyond monetary savings, freeing up resources that can be redirected towards core business activities.
Automatic updates
Keeping digital asset management systems up to date is crucial for ensuring security, performance, and access to the latest features. Canto removes the burden of updates and maintenance for organisations.
Cloud providers handle software updates seamlessly, ensuring that the DAM system is always running the latest version without requiring dedicated IT personnel for maintenance tasks. This not only reduces the workload on internal teams but also guarantees that the system benefits from the latest security patches and enhancements promptly.
Security and disaster recovery
Cloud providers invest heavily in security infrastructure, employing dedicated teams of experts to safeguard data. This level of expertise and focus on security is often challenging for individual organisations to match with on-premise setups. Additionally, cloud providers typically offer comprehensive disaster recovery options, ensuring data integrity and minimal downtime in the face of unforeseen events.
