Consider the amount of print documents your organization owns.  Brochures, product kits, business cards and perhaps even annual reports all make up your document continuum.  These documents must be ready for deployment when required.  Cymba interfaces with your printer's business system for real-time fulfillment of all print materials, business kits and customizable documents.  It's easy to deploy and even easier to use.

Functionalities of Cymba:

Digital Asset Sharing:
Now consider the case of all your brand-approved images.  With considerable investment, your organization has most likely collected images that represent products, metaphors and other advertising duties.  Where are these assets?  Can your agency partners and other divisions quickly access them through a secure environment?  Without a digital asset manager, your company will be entrenched in the age-old process of "sending the disk".

Functionality of the Digital Asset Manager Component of Cymba:

Sending the Disk Costs Money:
Every time anyone from your company "sends a disk",  your company is losing time, money and workflow continuity.  Even if the organization has made provisions for image sharing through personnel, "sending the disk" is a poor use of time and technology.  Image managers and their employers are better off ensuring that a central repository of images, or Digital Asset Manager, is up-to-date with the latest digital assets that the company possesses.  Leave the distribution duties up to a secure, web-based environment.
