Who are we?

Cliffe Associates Ltd

Digital Asset Management.org is a communication brand of Cliffe Associates. A need currently exists to filter the acronyms from the really useful, time and budget saving software applications.

Cliffe Associates bring to the boardroom the following qualities:-

We combine an unusual openness and passion for beauty and style with confidence and a down-to-earth sensibility which allow us to realise your vision. We consider many alternatives to get that done.

The full spectrum of possibilities in the business world intrigues us —we are not limited by pre-conceived notions of how things should be.

Problem-solving is a speciality, owing to our persistence, curiosity, and understanding of how things work.

Your vision allows us to identify what’s missing from a given situation, and our creativity allows you to fill the market gaps. Our awareness of how things function gives you the ability to come up with new uses for common objects.

We are practical within clearly defined budgets, creative knowledge wealth adherents who pay close attention to the details that others tend to miss.

    I noticed you do not have Getty Images listed as a DAM vendor. Our Media Manager service was the recent recipient of the Frost and Sullivan Market Leadership award, and our service is the market share leader in the DAM SaaS category.

    I think your audience would appreciate a complete list of vendors in this market.
