True Enterprise Architecture

Ancept Media Server utilizes IBM Content Manager (CM) as its middleware and repository. CM provides all the “heavy lifting”, so to speak. This includes things like user management, security, data modeling, storage management, workflow and integration with other enterprise systems. This allows Ancept to focus on addressing line-of-business requirements and the functionality our end-users really care about.

Today, many experts in the field agree that the unique architecture of our combined solution is in front of a trend in the market – a vertically-focused application, Ancept Media Server, to address line-of-business requirements combined with a middleware and “back-end” solution, IBM Content Manager, to address enterprise architecture requirements. Among today’s DAM providers, this architecture is truly unique to our solution and will continue to set us apart as the only DAM provider capable of fully addressing the needs of IT and line-of-business.
