The Forrester Wave™ report evaluated the 10 most significant software providers across 38 criteria. Discussing the increasing importance of DAM in the age of the customer, the report notes three key drivers:

• Omnichannel experiences drive the need for a core rich media management hub
• Experiences across the customer life cycle create complexities in managing rich media.
• The need for greater marketing and business agility.

The report further identifies two areas that DAM solutions must support: "Digital experience delivery" and "Marketing and business agility." Evaluating ADAM through this lens, Forrester cited the company as "a new leader in this space" and noted that:

• The solution has impressive functionality in workflow and globalization/localization.
• ADAM also has increased its partnerships, deepening ties to other .NET vendors like Teradata, Sitecore, and services partners.
• ADAM is best-suited for organizations with marketing and eCommerce-centric DAM needs, and those that may have increasing global complexities.

Giving ADAM the highest marks of any vendor in the Strategy category, Forrester explained that: "ADAM Software's vision is a key area of strength. ADAM has a comprehensive, forward-thinking vision to use DAM as a backbone for digital experience delivery (including commerce) and enterprise marketing ecosystem…and deeper product content management outside of the traditional DAM scope."

"We welcome the Forrester Wave™ report on DAM, which provides important context to understand the critical role of this technology today. We believe our position as a Leader affirms the strength of our solution, while the top marks we received for Strategy validates, in our opinion, our strategic direction as a company that provides not only tools, but also a clear vision for the future of marketing technology to meet a new generation of customer needs," said ADAM Software CEO Pieter Casneuf.
