What is eMotion?
eMotion is the world's leading provider hosted applications for managing digital media content. Our solutions are used daily by users around the world to power business cases such as Digital Asset Management libraries, Marketing Extranets, and Brand Portals.
The core of eMotion's hosted technology platform is a sophisticated web-based Digital Asset Management engine that helps you to manage and store your valuable digital media files, as well as get them into the hands of the people who need them, when they need them, in exactly the right format.
What is a "hosted application"?
With a hosted application there is no software to buy and install. It is maintained and supported within our world-class datacenter, and you simply access it at any time, from anywhere in the world, through a simple web browser. You receive all the benefits of traditional enterprise software, with absolutely no capital IT investment or internal support required.
Who is eMotion for?
eMotion is designed for all the players within the "brand value chain". Corporate marketing departments, creative services groups, ad agencies, and other creative professionals will find the eMotion platform easy to use, and designed specifically to deliver value to their organization. The eMotion platform makes it simple to find, distribute, and track usage of the critical media assets you spend so much effort to create and promote. All without the need to buy, install, learn, and maintain any new software.
Why do I need this?
You've spent a lot of time and money developing your brand content, but they don't do you much good unless you can get them to the people who need them. eMotion puts those materials into the right hands in the right format, whether your sales rep needs a brochure or a PowerPoint presentation or your ad agency needs a piece of digital art.
If this is so critical, why would I outsource it?
In fact, almost all eMotion customers have IT departments large enough that they could easily do this internally. But every one of them choose instead to have eMotion deliver this solution to them as a hosted application for many sensible reasons, including:
Domain experience:
Understanding the processing and distribution of digital media is our specialty, and we have expertise and capabilities in this area that would be almost impossible for you to replicate in house. And because our current customers include such leading brands as Starbucks, PeopleSoft, and Kyocera, we have enormously valuable best practices experience that we can bring to bear on your company's needs.
Our ability to assist you with custom media processing adds significant value to your brand content by making it easier to get at and easier to use.
Cost of entry, and scalability:
With a hosted service such as eMotion you can get started right away at a reasonable cost. As your needs grow you can scale the functionality and scope of your eMotion solution on-demand at any time. There is never any new software to buy and install, and no customer has ever outgrown our incredibly robust IT infrastructure.
What do I need to use eMotion?
All you need is a computer with a standard Internet connection and a browser. We support all the current primary web browsers.
What makes eMotion different?
A lot of things.
We're a hosted service - which means that you don't have to buy, install, maintain, and learn any new software or hardware - you can be up and running with your eMotion implementation in as little as a couple of weeks.
Also, each customer receives their own unique implementation completely customized to their specific functional, navigational, and cosmetic requirements. Our professional services team has long experience in designing solutions that exactly meet the needs of clients like you.
Our "smart" media processing capabilities set us apart as well. It's easy to find a media database, but a database doesn't really solve your digital content management and distribution problems. We have the expertise and the tools to help you transform a disorganized mass of files into a valuable, usable company resource - for graphic experts and casual users alike.
We offer additional capabilities that no mere media database has, like integrated production capabilities to turn your digital assets into physical ones (using your existing vendors!), and expert content processing like video digitization and translation services.
back to topI've got files, photos, print materials all over the place. Can you help me...
Yes, we can. In fact, this is what really sets eMotion apart, as it's what we do best. We have a superb professional services group that can help you get your files organized, get them uploaded and assist you in getting the most out of your eMotion implementation. We'd be happy to provide a proposal for their services once we understand your specific situation.
What file types do you support?
Our repository can store virtually any file type. We have standard content processing options for commonly used file formats. Custom content processing is available for file types not included in the standard set, with pricing for that service on a case-by-case basis.
How soon can I get started?
One of the many advantages of the hosted eMotion platform is that we can have an implementation up and delivering value to your organization in a fraction of the time required for traditional installed software. Our Professional Services team will meet with you, understand your needs, spec-out the the eMotion solution required, organize and upload your digital assets, and have your application up and running for you in as little as two weeks.
