About Picturepark

assets on a modern service-oriented architecture (SOA) that is
scalable, based on open standards, and available in the Cloud (SaaS),
on-premise or in hybrids. Picturepark is suitable for enterprise-wide DAM deployment
thanks, in part, to load-balancing, failover, service-based computer
clustering, and support for true multi-tenant deployment. Adaptive Metadata
technology enables each class of asset to have its own metadata schema
that can evolve over time. Support for multiple taxonomies and
controlled vocabularies is standard. The Picturepark Web Services API
enables developers to integrate Picturepark with other systems. Embedded and branded Web portals based on HTML5/CSS can be built using the graphical Picturepark Ports tool.
