Hosted Digital Asset Management

The hosted digital asset management model allows Widen customers to focus on their core competencies while Widen focuses on its core business - managing applications contributing to global brand consistency.

With hosted digital asset management software, (also known as Software-as-a -Service or SaaS), you're up and running in a matter of weeks. You can start realizing the benefits immediately, and more importantly start realizing a return on investment in a matter of months. Hosted digital asset management software providers, like Widen, house all hardware and software on their secured site with client access through web browsers. Customers take ownership of the application to ensure proper upgrades to security, servers, storage, backup, bandwidth, and disaster recovery. Implementations using the SaaS model ensure quick realization of both time and cost savings due to the rapid deployment and ongoing performance enhancements.
