In general, everybody that markets and promotes products has a need to organize, manage and distribute the digital assets needed for print, web publishing and all kinds of multimedia presentations. Early adopters have been the publishing and creative companies, as well as marketing groups in mid to large size organizations. While those represent our main target markets, Cumulus has also been adopted in other areas like medical imaging and the scientific markets in general. It uses a data base engine optimized to search metadata, file information such as file type, resolution, and descriptive data that's automatically captured during the cataloging process. You can automatically store asset information about each file, including resolution, file type, modification date, etc.
All text is searchable.
Canto has always maintained strong ties with Apple. While Canto has grown to include operating systems other than Macintosh, it is the Mac that has supported Canto's rise. The company has also been quick to support Apple technologies, such as QuickTime, AppleScript, and ColorSync. They are pleased to know we are supporting this new system. Canto says that by supporting Mac OS X, the Cumulus cataloging application will see an increase in speed and scalability compared with today's Mac-based solution.
