Frequently Asked Questions
A functional MVP typically takes 14-18 weeks, depending on complexity. Straightforward metadata and search builds ship faster. If you need custom AI models, complex RBAC, and multiple ERP/CMS integrations, plan for 20+ weeks. We deploy incrementally so your team can start using core features well before everything's finished.
Custom builds start around $18K for mid-complexity platforms. Enterprise-scale systems with AI, deep integrations, and petabyte storage run $60K+. For context: SaaS DAM pricing typically runs $50+/user/month, which means a 1,000-user org pays $600K a year—and owns nothing. Most custom builds break even within 12-18 months.
Yes. We build automated migration pipelines that move assets with full metadata preservation from any existing DAM—Bynder, Adobe AEM, Aprimo, Brandfolder, file shares, you name it. We map source metadata fields to your new schema, validate integrity after migration, and run both systems in parallel during the transition so nothing gets disrupted.
We use computer vision models—Google Vision, custom TensorFlow/PyTorch, depending on what your assets need—to analyze every upload. The system picks up objects, faces, text via OCR, colors, and scene context, then applies tags from your taxonomy. Editors can confirm or correct suggestions, and the models learn from that feedback. Most clients hit 90%+ accuracy within a few weeks.
Custom DAMs are built to meet SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA, and whatever industry-specific regulations apply to you. We implement AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit, granular RBAC, complete audit trails, data residency controls, and automated retention policies. You decide where your data lives and who can touch it—there's no shared SaaS infrastructure involved.
Absolutely. We build on object storage (S3 or Azure Blob) with CDN distribution and Elasticsearch for indexing. That stack handles petabyte-scale libraries with sub-second search. Kubernetes auto-scaling keeps things stable when load spikes. We load-test against your projected volumes before launch so there are no surprises.
