DMP Chooses ADAM Software's Teamwork for Marketing Collaboration
ADAM Software, the global provider of media workflow and marketing technology software, today announced the acquisition of a major new
customer, Digital Media Partners (DMP), an enterprise leader in digital communications.
DMP has selected ADAM Teamwork -- the groundbreaking cross-media annotation, proofing and approval studio for use with all rich-media file
types -- as an indispensable tool in its efforts to increase efficiency, agility and security in its global marketing communications. The announcement
of DMP’s selection of Teamwork comes just two months after ADAM’s release of version 1.1 of the software.
DMP Technology Manager Petri Helin said, “Digital Media Partners is excited to implement ADAM’s Teamwork, a pioneering solution designed
specifically to handle the challenges and complexities of cross-media, multi-channel marketing campaigns. DMP can now centralize collaboration
on collateral creation, permitting much greater stakeholder involvement at the annotation and approvals stage. Further, Teamwork provides
convenient features like the ability to sign off on or reject projects remotely via smartphone -- a real boon to our busy marketing managers on the
go. All of these assets made Teamwork a natural choice for DMP.”
ADAM announced its partnership with ConceptShare less than a year ago that led to the development of Teamwork. Designed and developed for
the requirements of enterprise marketing departments, Teamwork is an innovative cross-media collaboration solution that enables marketing
professionals to communicate faster and more efficiently.
“We are delighted that our partnership with ConceptShare has so quickly produced a significant customer win,” said ADAM Software CEO Pieter
Casneuf. “The reasons are obvious. Teamwork provides the very best marketing collaboration environment available, enhancing annotation,
proofing and approval teamwork in complex workflows involving all types of rich-media assets, including video.”
ConceptShare CEO Nish Patel added, “Teamwork is a great example of how companies with best-of-breed solutions can partner to meet the
needs of global marketing departments.”
As creative collaboration across departments and with digital agencies increasingly becomes the norm, the Teamwork solution promises to bring
significant benefits for the way stakeholders annotate, proof and approve all types of rich media assets.
ADAM Software Releases ADAM Teamwork – Allowing Best-of-Breed Cross-Media Annotation and Proofing
ADAM Software’s new easy-to-use Teamwork enables stakeholders to annotate, comment and approve any type of files, including images, video,
audio, and text.
Ghent & New York, NY (August 9, 2012) - ADAM Software has released ADAM Teamwork, providing an easy-to-use yet powerful tool for cross-
media annotation, proofing and approval of all rich media file types. The launch comes three months after the announcement of a partnership with
ConceptShare, which has allowed the development of sophisticated, cross-media collaboration solutions that enable marketing professionals in all
sizes of organization to communicate better when dealing with media files.
Teamwork increases marketing communication efficiency, agility and security. It offers improved team collaboration capabilities for ADAM
products via a ready-to-use user interface that requires zero additional training.
“As pressure continues to produce campaigns within ever tighter budgets that are consistent across multi-channels, so it becomes increasingly
important for all elements of the marketing chain to operate effectively,” says Pieter Casneuf, ADAM Software Chief Executive Officer. “To achieve
this, marketing managers and teams need to collaborate efficiently on content review for all types of files.”
The growing number of external stakeholders and the multiplication of file formats are just two of the issues marketing managers encounter where
a cross-media collaboration tool is vital. Teamwork Studio provides the solution from within a secure environment. It reduces significantly the
previously labor-intensive task of proofing rich-media assets, and simplifies the job of meeting customers’ demands for fast, consistent, multi-
channel campaigns.
Petra Tant, Product Manager at ADAM Software, adds, “Unlike other proofing/approval software options on the market, Teamwork is designed
specifically to match the precise requirements of marketing managers handling cross-media campaigns, rather than print-related tasks. Also, the
availability of ‘workflow blocks’ means that Teamwork makes it straightforward to create and integrate tasks and people (collaborating in parallel
or individually) within the approval cycle. Designers, legal experts, client personnel etc. can all get involved and each person can now be
allocated specific capabilities in regards to alterations or sign off of work.”
Teamwork also provides a detailed audit trail of all annotations and approvals regardless of the media format - e.g. text, images, audio, video, etc.
Video even shows frame-by-frame annotations. It is a true marketing-oriented tool, unique in its ability to streamline communication when
discussing and annotating concepts.
For modern marketing departments working in a multi-stakeholder, multi-channel world, Teamwork simplifies greatly the process of obtaining
opinions on assets and campaigns from individuals or groups.

ADAM 4.7 is released, delivering dramatic performance increases for global enterprises using Digital Asset Management (DAM)
The latest version of ADAM Software’s enterprise DAM system - ADAM 4.7 - greatly boosts the performance of large-scale DAM deployments in
the global enterprise.
Ghent, 2 April 2012 – ADAM Software, the global marketing and media solutions provider, today released the latest version of its enterprise-level
Digital Asset Management (DAM) system. ADAM 4.7 is set to improve performance dramatically for global organizations using large-scale ADAM
deployments.
DAM is highly demanding on IT infrastructures due to the quantity, complexity and size of the assets it handles. Many enterprise-level
organizations embracing marketing technology as a critical component in their IT infrastructure are frustrated by slow and inefficient transactions
as their DAM platform scales to meet enterprise needs. ADAM 4.7 responds to the need for high performance, large-scale DAM deployments.
“ADAM 4.7 is a real step beyond what previous configurations of relational database technologies were capable of delivering when managing rich
media,” says Michael Vanhoutte, CTO at ADAM Software. “We consulted with ADAM Partners and enterprise customers, and realized we needed
to push beyond the performance bottlenecks that cripple DAM systems in the enterprise. ADAM 4.7 is the result - a next step, enterprise-level
technology.”
Among the performance benefits ADAM 4.7 brings to large-scale organizations are:
Faster indexing performance when importing many records
Shorter record security checks during searches that display exact record counts
Improved database performance by reducing locking or when running multiple importers or maintenance servers simultaneously
Consistently faster dynamically generated / complicated search expressions
Adding new ADAM languages no longer has a large impact on many multi-language fields
Pieter Casneuf, ADAM Software’s Chief Executive Officer, adds: “Scalable, high-end performance of marketing technologies has become critical
to enterprises due to the rapid acceleration of marketing on a global level. ADAM is used by clients like Microsoft, adidas and RAPP, and with
ADAM 4.7 we are taking the necessary deeper dive into high-performance marketing technology that will meet enterprise IT needs for the coming
decade.”
Van Gennep Releases PublishingNOW! – The first DAM Based Publishing Platform
Van Gennep’s new DAM-based publishing platform, PublishingNOW!, is set to take multi-channel publishing to the next level - speeding up

for modern output which is powered by the ADAM platform to provide full DAM potential right in the heart of your publishing workflow. The ability
to integrate with Adobe Creative Suite and other digital publishing tools make PublishingNOW! the single solution that covers the complete, multi-
channel publishing process.”

partnership with Aquafadas to extend our publishing reach to mobile devices. Now we’re adding the efficiency of ADAM Software’s world-class
DAM system to our offering, and brand owners and publishers are going to see a real increase in efficiency and ROI even as publishing
complexity increases exponentially with the growth of multi-channel / multi-device publishing."
Van Gennep made sure that customers and partners were involved in the development process of PublishingNOW! from the get-go.
PublishingNOW! is set to satisfy the needs of the magazine publishing industry now and going forwards with key features like:

ADAM Software’s new Product Viewer iPad app released to show how sales teams on the move can benefit from instantly accessible and up-to-
the minute product information
ADAM Software, the global marketing and media solutions provider, has released its latest enterprise marketing innovation – ADAM Product
Viewer – available through iTunes. ADAM Product Viewer is an iPad app that demonstrates the power of centralized product information that
synchronizes with enterprise systems, allowing sales teams in the field to customize their very latest product offers and pricing anytime, anywhere.

and marketing by linking enterprise resource planning (ERP), product information management (PIMs) and digital asset management (DAM)
systems. This will enable developers to create apps for their own enterprise clients that provide instant updating of products for better information
consistency and a faster time-to-market.
ADAM also plans to release an updated Product Viewer later this year that will allow out-of-the-box access to PIMS 3.0 through a simple log-in.
“ADAM Product Viewer shows how sales and marketing professionals can consult, search and present their entire product portfolio during client
discussions,” says Petra Tant, Product Manager at ADAM Software. “It eliminates the need to produce costly and time-consuming product
catalogs by providing an instantly up-to-date and error-free product offering.”
Adds Pieter Casneuf, ADAM Software Chief Executive Officer, “Our vision is evolving from digital asset management (DAM) into an integrated
marketing and media platform covering all enterprise-wide marketing activities from media management and campaign planning, to off and online
publishing. ADAM Product Viewer paves the way for new innovations and is designed to help enterprises speed up business processes for people
on the move.”
ADAM Product Viewer can be downloaded for free from the iTunes store (search for “ADAM Product Viewer”). The Product Viewer application
can then be used in demo mode with sample product information generously made available by Stanley Black & Decker, which demonstrates the
simple and intuitive interface.
The Stanley Black & Decker information is for demonstration only, and is for companies to review and evaluate the application for their eventual
customization.

Management (DAM) with Adobe® Creative Suite®. It’s the first product to market that integrates completely with Adobe Creative Suite 5.5.

ADAM Software Grows in France through Partnership with Mediatvcom
ADAM Software and Mediatvcom announce a partnership in France to deploy innovative video asset management.
Global publishing of video material is growing exponentially with the advent of online distribution (web sites, YouTube , iTunes, internet-to-TV,
Mobile TV and IPTV platforms) and with end-to-end digitalization in the content production chain. This explosion of digital video assets means the
task of managing, securely storing, and accessing digital video assets is ever more difficult for video creators.
Traditional video manipulation tools have failed to help users adapt to this rapid growth, and in order to provide future-proof asset management,
more and more companies are turning to fully-blown digital asset management systems (DAMs) that can handle both video assets and also the
huge amount of related assets, such as images, texts, articles, audio files, etc. Leading the field in the easy and intuitive management of media
assets is ADAM Software who today announces a partnership with Mediatvcom (France).
Mediatvcom is well known in France as a digital media consultancy and engineering firm with a portfolio of high-profile clients such as TF1, Canal
+, France Télévisions, Lagardère Active etc. Mediatvcom will work as an implementation partner in France to deploy the ADAM Software solution.
Mediatvcom will integrate ADAM for media companies in France (content producers, content aggregators, TV channels, etc.) as well as
corporate users for their digital video-based projects.
Pieter Casneuf, CEO at ADAM Software, says: “Providing customers with the tools they need to manage the huge amounts of data involved with
video is an increasingly important part of the work we do at ADAM Software. Mediatvcom are experts in the audiovisual field, and we’re delighted
to be working with them to bring the ADAM platform to this sector of the French market. ADAM is unique in the power and ease-of-use it provides
for handling any type of digital asset, and this translates into more efficient creation, approval and delivery cycles that make for strong ROI and
more reliable workflows.”
Denis Vergnaud, Co-Founder of Mediatvcom, says: “Bringing a very generic content management platform to our customers will be a
breakthrough in the broadcast market. ADAM Software is especially well suited to large content catalog management for any type of asset: video,
images, text, articles, audio documents, 3D models, etc. This makes ADAM a perfect match for digital media management and publication
projects.”
Olivier Julien, Co-Founder of Mediatvcom, says: “Adding ADAM to the tools and knowhow we have already deployed for existing clients means
we can provide a complete solution for custom projects involving content and workflow management for internal uses, as well as serving the
needs for content publication. This will bring value to a large number of partner platforms (for example publication to the web, mobile, IPTV on-
demand or catch’up TV platforms, etc.). Mediatvcom will also bring its skills and knowhow in digital media – and especially video management – to
corporate users where ADAM is already well positioned for marketing asset management.”
ADAM Software is expanding globally at a rapid pace, taking leadership in new markets through innovative technology that provides for the media
asset management needs of the digital age. ADAM Software recently announced the opening of a new office in the US, and this partnership with
Mediatvcom is further evidence of an increasing leadership in the international DAM market.
ADAM Software Releases Creative Suite Connector 2.0
ADAM Software today released Creative Suite Connector 2.0, a major new version of its software solution for efficiently accessing ADAM-stored

first major Digital Asset Management (DAM) player to update its platform fully to work with Adobe Creative Suite 5 software, integrating ADAM
Software’s media-intelligent approach to DAM right into the creative environment, and demonstrating ADAM Software’s technology leadership in
the market.
“Adobe continues to invest in asset management enablement with DAM systems through the use of Adobe Drive 2 in Creative Suite 5,” said Ken
Toole, director of engineering for Creative Suite Partner and Enterprise Solutions at Adobe. “ADAM Software’s innovative solution can significantly
close the gap between creating and managing digital assets in the creative workflow.”
“The release of Creative Suite Connector 2.0 is great news for ADAM users who rely on ADAM’s Version Cue Connector to access easily their
digital assets from their creative workstation,” says Jan Dejosse, ADAM Software’s CMO. “With the release of Creative Suite Connector 2.0,
creative professionals can work in Adobe Creative Suite 5 and easily access all their ADAM-stored assets right from familiar tools like Finder on
Mac, Explorer on PC, and, best of all, Adobe Bridge CS5 on both platforms. We’re the first DAM provider in the industry to make this possible for
CS5 users, and Creative Suite Connector 2.0 also boasts a host of other great new features that will boost the efficiency of the way ADAM users
work with digital assets.”
Creative Suite Connector 2.0 makes it easier and faster for creatives to access the huge amounts of files they need to work with every day. With
ADAM’s media-intelligent technology tightly integrated right into familiar workstation tools, Creative Suite Connector 2.0 brings new levels of
workflow efficiency, control and clarity to the complex business of digital asset management, reducing time-to-market and ensuring a more cost-
efficient productivity.
“I’m delighted that our first-rate developer team have delivered Creative Suite Connector 2.0 ahead of the rest of the industry,” says Pieter

ADAM Software Announces Strategic Alliance with Van Gennep
Today’s publishing industry is undergoing a multi-channel revolution, where each message or publication needs to be repurposed for delivery
through a variety of channels. This is creating enormous pressure to develop publishing processes that deliver to multiple destinations, while
efficiently reusing digital assets to speed up workflows, reduce redundancy and improve consistency. ADAM Software and Van Gennep – Media
Automation Consulting BV are among the first important industry players to recognize fully this trend and to work on a seamless integration of their
software systems that will span these workflow requirements. This will provide users with a coherent and easily deployed approach to digital asset
management, business process management and multi-channel publishing workflows.
ADAM Software and Van Gennep are industry leaders in their respective fields of DAM/business process management and flatplanning/editorial
management systems, and are ideally suited to deliver on this strategic partnership. Van Gennep produces one of Europe’s leading publishing
systems, with a well-established position in the editorial market and high-profile customers such as Bauer Media Group (Germany, France and
Spain), Groupe Prisma Presse (France) and Reader’s Digest International (worldwide). ADAM Software’s enterprise-level DAM/business process
management system is recognized as an industry-leading solution and is used by companies such as AB-InBev, Britvic, Microsoft, LEGO, McCann
Erickson, Sanoma Magazines, Elopak, and more.
Pieter Casneuf, CEO at ADAM Software, says: “The strategic alliance of ADAM Software and Van Gennep will provide a major boon to the
publishing industry. With a highly efficient workflow geared towards the new necessity of multi-channel publishing and asset reuse, publishers will
gain complete and unprecedented control of their publishing processes in a way that both simplifies and improves on current processes.”
With reuse of digital assets fast-becoming an essential requirement of editorial publishing workflows, there is a clear trend towards DAM systems
expanding as digital asset-driven business process systems that can deliver on ever-more complex publishing needs. ADAM Software has already
taken the lead in this field with two previous strategic partnerships with ESKO (DAM and Packaging) and SDL Tridion (Web Content
Management and DAM).
Ton van Gennep, CEO at Van Gennep, says: “This partnership between ADAM Software and Van Gennep will provide first-class product
integration between both software vendors, allowing for better use of assets and a faster, more controlled execution of editorial workflows. This, in
turn, will lead to real cost savings and faster times to market, even when delivering to complex multimedia channels.”
The first phase of the ADAM and Van Gennep partnership has already been completed, the two companies having delivered a number of joint
installations (including Sanoma Magazines) which aligned both software platforms to exchange assets between the editorial and DAM systems. In
early 2011, a new version of PlanSystem will become available, fully compatible with the ADAM v4 platform. In the second half of 2011, Van
Gennep will deliver the next version of PlanSystem - PlanSystem version 5 - that will make use of ADAM’s full functionality and make PlanSystem
the first editorial system powered by a DAM system engine, offering customers end-to-end control of all their publishing channels, including print,
online (web, mobile, etc.) and broadcast.

clear indicator that the ADAM Platform responds to these needs better than any other in the field. With the opening of our first office there, we
expect the US market to grow even more rapidly for ADAM.”

Technologies for Multichannel Brand Expression
Online marketing to benefit from improved customer experience
ADAM Software?and?SDL Tridion signed a strategic alliance agreement to provide marketing and
communications professionals with an opportunity to improve Web site customer experience. The

The consistency of the expressions between channels and maintaining a customer brand experience
are today's challenges for marketing and communication professionals.
Web content management and digital asset management both play an important roll handling this complexity.
Traditionally, WCM focuses on layout and content, while DAM has been focused on the management of
multimedia content. Both WCM and DAM have been based on seperate systems with their own specific
offerings to brand owners. The integration brings a unique combination to organizations with a need for
advanced DAM capabilities in a SDL Tridion environment.
Pieter Casneuf, executive partner at ADAM Software says, "Business processes in marketing and media
go beyond the technological silos. As leaders in this market segment, it's obvious to integrate our software
platforms to fulfill the needs of the entreprise market for brandowners looking to improve customer
experience on their website. That's why marketing technologies have to integrate in order to provide
overall process solutions."
"More organizations rely on ever increasing rich media assets for their Web strategy," says Jan Jaap
Kolleman, CEO of SDL Tridion. "To persuade and engage Web site visitors, images, video and sound
become an integral part of the Web content. With this strong integration, marketing communication and
brand owners can now exploit the value of rich media over the Web and other communication channels."
The proposition includes a SDL Tridion DAM option that covers the needs for advanced online marketing
purposes. Traditionally, SDL Tridion WCM is a driver for online activities, including capabilities to meet
basic DAM requirements. With the increasing number, sizes and formats of media assets, an integration with
a DAM system improves customer experience.
Thanks to the integration agreement between SDL Tridion and ADAM Software, enterprise customers
will experience:
Advanced DAM functionality in their SDL Tridion WCM system
