CONTENTdm vs. Mediawide

CONTENTdm is well-suited for smaller organizations as a simple solution to present a digital collection on the web. If your need is complex and requires digital preservation as part of the workflow, it may not be the best solution.

It is well suited for designing brand-compliant billboards, storefront signs, in-store signs, and wall signs to draw attention to your brand and drive foot traffic to your store As I already told you earlier, they can work on printing stationery and business cards.

• It can merge data and videos to deliver an exceptionally engaging experience to the receiver.
• It is also useful in addressing the customer by the first name at the outset, delivering a relevant message to him and if need be, engaging him with a unique story
• There is a feature that conducts surveys, customer profiling or includes a call to action buttons in HTML5 videos to increase and optimize interaction with the consumer.

• As a digital asset management system, one would expect the capability of managing preservation, which CONTENTdm lacks.
• Lack of batch updating and other advanced metadata management capabilities.
• The usage statistics does not work, and the company is not planning to fix it, at least based the interaction with tech support staff. Customers were referred to use Google Analytics.

• I still feel that they can do more in the Business Card design part.
• They can also put more work in printing stationary.
• Everything else is good and I love the product.

We selected CONTENTdm because it had a good reputation, was used by many institutions, provided a good product, and supplied feedback and monthly reports. We are wondering about DPLA and if that will be the next evolution or platform.

Incentivized

• It helped us to get started with our digital collections projects at a relatively low cost.
• As our needs grew, it became apparent that we needed something more powerful, and that provides better workflows and better statistics and is able to handle the whole life cycle of digitation projects.

• Very good ROI, I would say personally, as when I went to local vendors, they were charging a lot, and Mediawide is a cost-effective option.
