The good news is, after only seven years, Cantemo has been nominated as a DI Gasell company!
Every organisation producing video is different, and this is something we can confirm with absolute certainty thanks to years of experience in the media management industry. But this means what they need from a media management solution will also be drastically different. Video is being produced at an unprecedented rate, and a media management solution remains the best way to ensure it remains organised and can be monetised. It is, however, evident that the solutions on offer to the multitude of modern day content producers must evolve to stay relevant.
